 Mitt Romney Pushes Back Against Trump:
“DACA Kids Shouldn’t All Be Allowed
To Stay In The Country Legally.”
By Lucian Wintrich
March 27, 2018, 12:04 Pm
Failed presidential candidate, turned current U.S. Senate
candidate, Mitt Romney took part in a Monday Q&A there
focused in large part on his relationship with President
Trump and where he stands on a number of issues from the
deficit to DACA recipients.
Speaking to a small crowd at the Provo Library in Utah,
note cards were passed around to audience members who
could ask Romney questions. According to Daily Herald,
one not card stated the writer, along with
“all their Facebook friends, did not consider
Romney to be very conservative, asking
him whether he considered himself
conservative, and if so, in what ways.”
Romney claimed that most people only remember his
platforms from his failed 2012 presidential bid, which he
calls “mainstream conservative”, but went on to claim that
he’s “more conservative” on issues than President Trump.
Via Daily Herald:
“For instance, I’m a deficit hawk,” Romney
said. “That makes me more conservative
.
8
than a lot of Republicans and a lot of
Democrats. I’m also more of a hawk on
immigration than even the president. My
view was these DACA kids shouldn’t all
be allowed to stay in the country
legally.”
Trump had announced an end to the DACA program in
2017, which protects some young undocumented
immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from
deportation. However, in an attempt to make a deal with
Democrats on the issue, Trump in February presented a
plan that included a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million
DACA recipients but was rejected by Democrats because
of other changes to immigration included in the proposal.
The omnibus bill signed by Trump on Friday did not
include DACA.
Romney said he is against giving legal
residence to those 1.8 million people.
“That was not my posture,” Romney said.
“So I was more conservative than others in
my party. Now I will accept the president’s
view on this, but for me, I draw the line and
say, those who’ve come illegally should
not be given a special path to
citizenship.”
Romney said he believes DACA recipients “need to do
more” to justify permanent residency, such as attending
community college, getting a degree, serving in the
military or serving in needed occupations like teaching.
Romney also fielded multiple questions
on his relationship with Trump, which
has been famously strained in the past,
particularly when Romney gave a
speech in 2016 calling Trump a phony
and a fraud.
Group Takes Out Full-Page Ad In Paper Against Awarding
Defense Dept. Contract To Trump ‘Enemy’ Jeff Bezos
By Joshua Caplan
March 27, 2018, 3:15 Pm

A nonprofit organization has taken out a

full-page ad in the New York Post
seemingly hitting the Trump
administration for mulling the
possibility of awarding Amazon with a
lucrative contract to provide IT services
to the Defense Department.
The ad by ‘Less Government’ reads:

“President Trump: Your Defense

Department is set to award a no-bid, ten-
year contract for all its IT infrastructure to
Administration-enemy Jeff Bezos’ Amazon.

The ad also includes a mock letter written by Bezos to

Trump that reads:

“Mr. President,
Thank you for the $100 billion handout. The
cash will really help my many other efforts
to oppose your administration’s policies.
Your pal, Jeff. Owner, Amazon & The
Washington Post.”

Axios‘ Jonathan Swan believes the ad could be an effective

way to catch Trump’s attention.

“[I]f you’re designing an ad to get POTUS’

attention, you can’t do much better than
this.”

The nonprofit operates an initiative called Monopoly

Amazon, aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of the
Trump administration doing business with Bezos.

The group’s ad is based off a NextGov report from

December 2017:

The Defense Department’s developing cloud strategy has
put the tech industry on edge.
According to an internal strategy document obtained
by Nextgov, the Pentagon aims to award a 10-year cloud
computing contract—potentially worth billions—to a
single company by the fourth quarter of 2018.
The contract would call on one commercial cloud service
provider to host unclassified, secret and top secret Defense
Department data, and the Pentagon’s approach mirrors the
CIA’s enterprisewide approach to cloud four years ago,
which resulted in a 10-year, $600 million contract with
10
Amazon Web Services. AWS has since invested heavily to
provide capabilities across all data classification levels.
The similarities between the Defense’s early cloud strategy
and the CIA’s has rival tech companies worried that the
department’s acquisition may lean toward AWS. In any
case, such a massive contract could disrupt the $100
billion federal IT market and leave the winner in a position
to dominate it for years to come.
Earlier this month, the DoD announced it would be scaling
back its potential near $1-billion agreement with Amazon
for cloud services to $65-million.
 American Journalist Who Was Held Hostage,
Tortured By Al Qaeda Says FBI Under Mueller,
Comey Betrayed Him (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
March 27, 2018, 3:51 Pm
American photojournalist Matt Schrier
was kidnapped and held hostage by Al
Qaeda on New Years Eve in 2012 as he
was trying to cross over from Syria into
Turkey.
Schrier miraculously escaped captivity after being tortured
for several months and decided to investigate his own
kidnapping.
He discovered the FBI, under Mueller and Comey betrayed
him and sacrificed his safety in order to track the terrorists.
Fox News reported:
While he was tortured and held by al
Nusra, the brutal Al Qaeda franchise in
Syria, Schrier claimed the FBI put
intelligence gathering ahead of his personal
security, hoping to track the computers and
tablets to learn more about Al Qaeda
recruits and future plots. After his
harrowing escape, Schrier started
demanding answers from the FBI, which at
the time of his kidnapping was led by
Mueller.
Since his return to the U.S. in mid-2013, Schrier shared
documents with Fox News and explained, “I faxed– I
emailed them, probably between my mother and my father
and me, between 50 and 100 complaints.”
11
Comey took over from Mueller in September 2013, and
Schrier said the stonewalling continued.
“I was emailing him questions. I was
forwarding him all these emails. I was
demanding answers from him,” Schrier
said. “And I never got anything back.”
Schrier said he has been unable to obtain credit cards or
open new bank accounts because Al Qaeda stole his
identity and passwords. Unable to get a lease for an
apartment, Schrier said his FBI case manager suggested he
temporarily live in a New York City homeless shelter.
“I just got clean clothes without bed bugs. I
don’t want to go through a situation where I
have to deal with lice and bed bugs again.
Like, no thank you.”
Schrier says he traveled to Syria to capture photos because
he loves military history. He was kidnapped by Al Nursa
and starved and tortured for seven months.
His kidnappers forced him to hand over his passwords and
personal information in order to steal his identity.
“They sat me down in the office in a circle
with the emir, three Canadians and another
guy. And they put a piece of paper in front
of me and said, basically, ‘Write down all
the passwords for every account you have,
from Facebook to your credit cards to your
bank accounts, we want your social
security number.'”
After the terrorists stole Schrier’s identity, they purchased
laptops, tablets and all sorts of random items in his name.
The FBI was monitoring the transactions and the agent
communicating with Schrier’s family misled his mother.
At the same time, Schrier claimed the FBI was monitoring
the transactions, and the bureau’s point person for his
family, agent Lindsey Perotti, misled his mother. Six
months into his captivity, the FBI agent wrote Schrier’s
mother,
“Everything at this point seems to indicate
he is the one using his phone, credit card,
and bank account.”
Schrier struggled to get back on his feet because Al Qaeda
stole his social security number and he was unable to
obtain a credit card.
Matthew Schrier documented his story in a book
titled “The Dawn Prayer.”

Despite working as a freelance war photographer, Schrier Must watch Schrier speak to Catherine Herridge in this

“I’d been kept in the dark for extremely long

periods of times, I’m infested with
bedbugs,” Schrier said. “Yet, according to
the FBI, I’m speaking to people on my
cellphone, I’m buying laptops and cologne
and boots and sunglasses, maybe going
into Turkey once in a while to get away
from things, you know, just like all jihadis
do, you know. ‘Cause Southern Turkey’s

Not only did the FBI allow Schrier to be tortured for

several months, they didn’t even help him reestablish his
life after he returned home.

 Newsmax Reporter Appears To Catch Some Shut Eye
During White House Press Briefing
Christian Datoc - Breaking News And Engagement Editor
3:29 PM 03/27/2018
John Gizzi did Tuesday what many Americans do
everyday, namely get a little sleepy in the PM.
Unfortunately for the Newsmax chief political
correspondent, his bout of near-shut eye came in the
middle of Tuesday’s White House press briefing. And was
broadcast on national television.
WATCH:
13
In Gizzi’s defense, he zoned out during a particularly
boring question about Jimmy Carter and North Korea but
whatever.
When asked for comment, Gizzi told The Daily Caller he
was actually getting lunch after the briefing and did not
actually fall asleep Tuesday.
“I have nodded off before but I assure you I didn’t today,”
he explained. “People ask me this often and anyone on
either side of me –Sara Cook of NHK, today — will tell
you I was up and at ’em.”
You win some, you lose some.
Either way, this will all get drowned out by the media
asking questions about what sex positions POTUS and
Stormy Daniels prefer.
Stay golden, John.
 Sanders Asked Why Trump IsNot ‘Punching Back’
Against Recent Scandals — She Lands A KO
Benny Johnson - Reporter At Large
3:31 PM 03/27/2018

President Trump is facing multiple personal scandals in the
White House this week.
There is an ongoing legal battle between Trump and porn
star Stormy Daniels and turmoil with his legal team as the
lead attorney recently stepped down. At the White House
briefing Tuesday afternoon, Sarah Sanders was asked
about Trump’s silence on social media given the various
events occurring around his private life and administration.
“Have you sat down with the president and
what has he told you that he wants us to
know about this topic?” Sanders was asked
by a reporter in regards to the Stormy
Daniels scandal.
“As I just said and we addressed a number
of times, the president denied the
allegations. I don’t have anything else
further to add,” Sanders said.
“has a country to run,” and citing
administration accomplishments.
I didn’t say he punches back on every
single topic. If he did, he would address a
lot of the stories that every one of you has
every minute of the day. He has a country
to run and doing a great job with that.
That’s why the economy is booming, ISIS
on the run, making the judiciary, pushing
his agenda through. Sometimes he
chooses to punch back and sometimes he
doesn’t.

The reporter pressed again, saying,

“You called [Trump] a counter puncher

many times. Why has he not punched back
on this one?” There was no follow up.

Sanders then landed a knock-out, saying that Trump

Reporters Obsessing Over Stormy Daniels

On Tuesday, White House Press
Secretary Sarah Sanders shut down
liberal snakes in the press briefing room
who were obsessing over Stormy
Daniels and Karen McDougal.
The White House and Melania Trump’s spox both
responded to Stormy Daniels’ allegations this week,
however the liberal reporters keep asking the same
questions over and over again.
There are many more important stories to report on,
however; the liberal reporters are obsessed over these
women.
Sarah Sanders shut down the room after they kept asking
why Trump doesn’t tweet about the two women.
“Why the silence? Is someone advising him
to be silent or is he following his own
advice here?” asked a liberal snake.

Sanders shut the room down by responding,

 Jimmy Carter Talked Smack About Trump
— Sarah Sanders Silences Him
Benny Johnson - Reporter At Large
7:04 PM 03/27/2018

Former president Jimmy Carter took a shot at President
Donald Trump in a recent interview.
Carter said most people want to see a president with “basic
moral values.”
“I think most people want a president who
they trust to tell the truth always and who
has some basic moral values, including
loyalty to his own wife.”
Carter said the scandals Trump finds himself embroiled in
will not have “nearly as much effect as it would have had,
say, 20 years ago.”
“I think the people of this country came out
by the millions to support Donald Trump,
support his agenda and the policies that
he’s pushing forward. He has been
delivering day after day out on that front.
He’s kept a number of his campaign
promises. That’s only been within the first
one and a half years. I think the people that
voted for and came out and supported him
still do so, and do so because they
believed in the agenda that he was driving
and he’s been delivering on that since he
came into office.”

Sarah Sanders was asked about the comments at Tuesday’s

press briefing.

“What sort of reaction do the White House

have to Jimmy Carter’s reaction about most
people wanted a president with basic moral
values?” a reporter asked.

Sanders did not hesitate, torching the question by citing the

millions of Americans who voted for Trump and still
support his agenda.

 Maxine Waters Implies Her
Calls For Impeachment Are Irresponsible
Amber Athey - Media Reporter
7:21 PM 03/27/2018
Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters threw herself
under the bus when asked on Tuesday if she thinks it is
irresponsible to call for the impeachment of President
Donald Trump.
WATCH:
MSNBC’s Ari Melber played a clip of Rep. Waters from
1998 claiming that Republicans were seeking to impeach
then-president Bill Clinton over political disagreements.
“I am greatly disappointed in the raw,
unmasked, unbridled hatred, and
meanness that drives this impeachment
coup d’etat,” Waters said at the time.
“My Republican friends, what you do
here today will long be remembered and
.
17
recorded in history as one of the most
despicable actions ever taken by the
Congress of the United States of
America.”
Melber suggested that many people would make the same
arguments about Waters’ current advocacy for
impeachment. Waters responded by saying that her fellow
Democrats were being “responsible” by not calling for
impeachment, suggesting that she believes her own actions
are irresponsible.
“I just want to tell you that the Democrats
have been very very responsible and even
saying to me that I should not be calling for
impeachment,” she said. “They have not
taken a position as a Democratic caucus
on this impeachment and they’ve said to
me that, ‘let’s just talk about our issues,
let’s not talk about him.'”
“So Democrats have been terribly
responsible, and again, I’m one of just a
few who have insisted that he’s unworthy,
that he’s deplorable, that he’s despicable,
and he should be impeached,” she
concluded.
 After Mueller Transfers
All ‘Evidence’ On Gen. Flynn To Judge,
Sara Carter Asks ‘What’s Next?’
By Joshua Caplan
March 27, 2018, 7:42 Pm
Fox News contributor Sara Carter
reports that special counsel Robert
Mueller has transferred all evidence
concerning ex-National Security Advisor
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s case to Judge
Emmet G. Sullivan.
The answer may lie in what the special counsel’s office
handed over (or failed to hand over) to Sullivan.
Sara Carter reports:
The Office of Special Counsel complied
with a federal judge’s order and as a result
turned over all evidence related to former
National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael
Flynn’s case, according to two sources who
spoke to this reporter.
In December, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan
ordered Special Counsel Robert Mueller to
provide Flynn’s attorneys with any and all
information that may have been withheld
from the case. Sullivan took over as the
presiding judge after District of Columbia
Judge Rudolph Contreras was recused
from the case on Dec. 7. […]
Sullivan ordered the government to
produce any evidence in its possession
that is “favorable to defendant and material
either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.”
[…]
18
Sullivan’s request for Mueller to turn over all evidence
came after the plea, and the judge noted that even if
Mueller believed the information was not “material” to the
case, it would be up to Sullivan to decide whether or not to
disclose the information to Flynn’s attorney.
The implications that possible exculpatory evidence was
withheld by Mueller’s office would be a significant
development for Flynn.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, newly
redacted text messages reveal disgraced FBI agent Peter
Strzok had a personal relationship with Rudolph Contreras,
the District of Columbia Judge who abruptly recused
himself from former National Security Advisor Michael
Flynn’s criminal case.
Sara Carter reported on the ‘explosive’ texts:
In a text message chain from Page to
Strzok on July, 25, 2016 she writes,
“Rudy is on the FISC! Did you know
that? Just appointed two months ago.”
At that point, the pair continues to
discuss other issues but comes back to
Contrares, “I did. We talked about it
before and after. I need to get together
with him.” Then later Strzok appears to
return to his discussion about
Contreras.

Page: “Thought of it because you had to
Google FISC judges and him there. I’m
telling you.”
Strzok: “….She brought up a good point

where he’d have to recuse himself.”

 REPORT: AG Sessions Furious After Congressional

Last Thursday, House Judiciary “To this date, the Department has only

a subpoena to the Justice Department have been requested,” Goodlatte wrote to
requesting documents related to the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

producing these documents, I am left with
no choice but to issue enclosed subpoena
to compel production of these documents,”
Goodlatte continued.

Byron York of the Washington Examiner reports that

Attorney Jeff Sessions was angry after the FBI’s slow pace
of turning over said documents to Congressional
investigators resulted in a subpoena.

The FBI is promising swift action on a House subpoena

covering three politically-charged investigations after word
that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has grown angry with
the bureau’s slow-walking of congressional requests for
information.

Late Tuesday, a source who asked to be identified as a

“DOJ insider” emailed an update from inside the Justice
Department, making clear Sessions has grown impatient
with FBI Director Christopher Wray:

Senior staff on both sides of the street have met on this and
the FBI is getting called on the carpet. The Attorney
General is angry with how slow the process has moved
when it comes to requests from Congress to the FBI. He’s
told Wray that the pace is unacceptable and that if the FBI
needs to double the number of people working on this,
then that’s what they need to do, but he is done seeing the
Department criticized for the FBI’s slow walking of
requests from Congress like the last administration when
these requests should be a top priority.
In response to Sessions’ criticism, FBI Director Wray
revealed he is “doubling the number of assigned FBI staff,
for a total of 54, to cover two shifts per day from 8 a.m. to
midnight to expedite completion of this project.”

 Tucker Educates Immigrant
Lawyer On Us Census Questions
Amber Athey - Media Reporter
9:21 Pm 03/27/2018
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson got into a heated debate with an
illegal immigrant lawyer about the Trump administration’s
decision to add citizenship questions to the U.S. Census.
WATCH:
Cesar Vargas, the first undocumented attorney in New
York, argued that because the Constitution does not
specify that the census should count citizens, such
questions should not be included. However, Carlson
seemed to stump Vargas when he asked if the same
argument could apply to census questions about gender or
race.
“Since I know you’re so familiar with it, [the
Constitution] doesn’t say anything about
.
25
counting people by race,” The Daily Caller
co-founder argued. “The census does that,
are you opposed to that? Should we not
ask what people’s race is?”
Vargas refused to answer the question several times,
prompting Carlson to interrupt him and ask again.
“The census asks what your race is,” he
repeated. “I think it’s creepy as hell, to be
honest…but the census asks it. And the left
demands it ask it. Do you think the census
should be allowed to ask about race?”
“Well, I think we should have a simple
count, that’s it. And, maybe no, we
shouldn’t have about immigration status,
we shouldn’t have about race,” Vargas
admitted.
Carlson extended the argument to census questions about
sex, arguing,
“only [a question about citizenship] bothers
you — not because of the constitutionality
of it, but because you think it might dilute
the political power of illegal aliens.”
“Let’s stop pretending it’s about the
Constitution,” the host asserted.

Wray Doubling Agents On Clinton Trump
The bureau has been “too slow” in providing Congress
with documents related to investigations into Hillary
Clinton’s email server and Russian meddling in the 2016
election, FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged on
Tuesday.
To remedy the situation, Wray will double the number of
FBI staff working on the document production, he said.
The announcement comes in response to a subpoena
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte
issued to the Justice Department March 22 for records
related to the two investigations.
“Up until today, we have dedicated 27 FBI staff to review
the records that are potentially responsive to Chairman
Goodlatte’s requests. The actual number of documents
responsive to this request is likely in the thousands.
Regardless, I agree that the current pace of production is
too slow,” Wray said in a statement.
“As the Director of the FBI, I am committed
to ensuring that the Bureau is being
.
26
transparent and responsive to legitimate
congressional requests,” he added.
The 54 FBI staff will work two shifts per day — from 8
a.m. until midnight — “to expedite completion of this
project,” President Donald Trump’s appointee, Wray, said.
Goodlatte’s subpoena sought documents related to the
Justice Department inspector general’s investigation into
the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email investigation as
well as any FBI and DOJ documents related to applications
for surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign
adviser Carter Page.
“To date, the Department has only
produced a fraction of the documents that
have been requested,” Goodlatte wrote in a
letter accompanying the subpoena
to Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein.
The subpoena also sought documents regarding the FBI
Office of Professional Responsibility’s (OPR)
determination that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe should be fired for “lack of candor” during
interviews with the DOJ inspector general.
Republicans on the House Judiciary and House
Intelligence Committees have questioned how the DOJ and
FBI handled both the Clinton email and Russia meddling
investigations. They have generally argued the agencies
gave Clinton a free pass by declining to charge the former
secretary of state for mishandling classified information by
using a private email server while in office. They have also
argued the FBI and DOJ misled judges on the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court by using the infamous
Steele dossier in applications for spy warrants against
Page.

When He Trashes President Trump

Washington, DC. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich unloaded on

President Trump before his team’s matchup with the
Washington Wizards Tuesday night.

“He brings out the dark side of human

beings for his own purpose, which is
himself,” said Popovich, who is a frequent
critic of the president. “If it’s not pointed
out, if people don’t stand up and point it
out, he will become commonplace, and it’s
not the world that I want to live in.”

The Spurs coach also had strong praise for last weekend’s
March For Our Lives.

“That’s why the kids that have been doing

this, that had the march and everything,
they give me hope that I’m actually living in
the country that I thought I was living in.
Because at times, it’s not where I thought I
was living, but they made me believe, they
give you hope for the future that they want
to do the right things that have moral clarity
and common sense,” said Popovich, who
then contrasted their stance to his view of
the president’s actions on gun control
“We have a president who sat across a
table in a fake environment of goodwill to
talk about gun violence, just like the
immigration facade where he’d sign
anything, and of course he didn’t do
anything,” said the Spurs coach. “He’s who
he is. He’s actually kind of boring because
he’s done this all so much. We all know
what’s coming and we know what lie’s
gonna happen. That’s not very interesting.

Justice John Paul Stevens advocated for repeal in a recent

“No way,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “We

 Finally, A Show For The Rest Of America!… Roseanne
Relaunch Stuns Nation: Pro-Trump, Patriotic,
Prayerful… And BIGLY FUNNY
By Jim Hoft
March 28, 2018, 8:33 Am
The Roseanne relaunch took America
by storm on Tuesday night.
Finally there is a show on national
television for the other half of America.
Roseanne was back and she’s pro-Trump, anti-Hillary,
anti-resistance and pro-American.
What a refreshing idea!
This show is going to shock liberal Hollywood.
30
What a novel idea! A show that half of
America can support.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything like this on
weekly television.
The New York Times reported:
When last we saw Roseanne Conner, in
1997, the character was sitting alone on
that old living room couch, after revealing
that her husband, Dan, had died of a heart
attack and that all nine seasons of
“Roseanne” had been a grief-induced
fantasy about her family. (Or something like
that.)
Now Roseanne is back, the fantasy is out and Trump is in.
The show’s Emmy-winning star, Roseanne Barr, returns
Tuesday night to ABC with a nine-episode revival season.
Dan’s back too, once again played by John Goodman, as is
daughter Darlene (Sara Gilbert, who is also an executive
producer) and much of the original cast.
“Roseanne” was a bona fide trailblazer the first time
around, with its focus on blue-collar Americans, its
diversity of L.G.B.T. characters, and its star — a woman
who did not look or sound like a typical television female
lead. The new “Roseanne” is topical in its own ways,
starting with Roseanne Conner’s full-throated support for
President Trump. Ms. Barr is a Trump backer as well, to
the dismay of many fans; she argued on “Jimmy Kimmel”
recently that supporting Mr. Trump was critical to keeping
Mike Pence from the presidency.

 POLL: Trump’s Approval Rating
Trends Upwards After Stormy Daniels Allegations
Henry Rodgers - Political Reporter
9:18 AM 03/28/2018
President Donald Trump’s approval rating is trending
upwards, according to a Tuesday CNN poll, despite adult
film star Stormy Daniels’ allegations of an alleged affair
between her and Trump.
The Tuesday CNN poll showed 42 percent approve of the
way Trump is handling the presidency, which is up seven
points since February. The rising numbers include a six-
point increases among Republicans as well as
Independents, with 86 percent of Republicans and 41
percent Independents approving of Trump’s job as
president, according to the poll.
32
The results come two days after Daniels sat down with
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on “60 Minutes” Sunday
to discuss her alleged affair with Trump, detailing that she
and the president had consensual sex while he was married
back in 2006.
Trump’s lawyers have continued to deny Daniels’
allegations. Daniels has offered to return the $130,000
payment she received in a “hush agreement” worked out
with Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen before the 2016
presidential election. Returning the cash would allow her
to speak publicly of the alleged affair.
Cohen has since claimed that Daniels violated the
agreement 20 times, which means Daniels could face up to
$20 million in damages.
The poll was conducted between March 22-25 by a live
interviewer through phone calls among a group of 1,014
random adults. There was a margin of error of plus or
minus 3.7 percentage points.

DECREASED Debt To GDP Ratio In His First Year

economy. With the final 2017 GDP
numbers released today, President
Trump’s policies have officially
decreased the Debt to GDP ratio by
1.3% in the President’s first year in
office.
In contrast, President Obama increased

The last President to do so was Nixon in 1969. Presidents
Reagan and George W. Bush decreased the Debt to GDP
ratio in their first years in office but by less than 1%.
President Trump has the debt to GDP
ratio decreasing and as a result America
is moving in the right direction for the
first time in at least a decade.

on the security of the country and on the prosperity of its

 NYT Tries To Trip Up
Roseanne Barr On Trump Support, Fails
Amber Randall - Civil Rights Reporter
10:36 AM 03/28/2018
A New York Times interviewer attempted to trip up
comedian Roseanne Barr over her support for the
president, but it didn’t work as planned.
Barr, who recently revived her ’90s sitcom “Roseanne,”
made her working-class character a supporter of President
Donald Trump. Barr stood by her support of the president
after the interviewer attempted to call her out for supposed
contradictions in her beliefs, during a Wednesday
interview with The New York Times.
Here’s the exchange:
Considering that Trump opposes many
of the principles that you and Roseanne
Conner have stood for, how can you
support him?
No, he doesn’t, I don’t think he does. I don’t
think so at all. I think he voices them quite
well.
I’m thinking of abortion rights, same-sex
marriage rights, labor protections —
He doesn’t oppose same-sex marriage.
He doesn’t favor it. He has not come out
in favor of it.
.
38
He does. Yes, he does. He has said it
several times, you know, that he’s not
homophobic at all.
What about labor union protections and
blue collar workers, and
What do you mean, the — oh, let’s not get
into this.
[A representative for Ms. Barr interjected:
“You don’t have to get into it. We can move
on.”]
Well, you know, it’s —
Yes, let’s do.
A question people wonder about.
Well, I think working-class people were pissed off about
Clinton and NAFTA, so let’s start there. That’s what broke
all the unions and we lost all our jobs, so I think that’s a
large part of why they voted for Trump because they didn’t
want to see it continue, where our jobs are shipped away.
So, it’s more, why did people support shipping our jobs
away?
Barr added that it was important to her to use her show to
tell stories of how families in America are still struggling
and the ways the opioid crisis is affecting the country.
“How we deal with whole new issues that
we didn’t even have before, like gender-
fluid kids. How working class people —
how and why they elected Trump,” Barr
noted.
 Mueller Says Trump Aide Knowingly
Communicated With Former Russian Spy
Chuck Ross - Reporter
11:52 AM 03/28/2018
Former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates was in contact
just before the 2016 election with a man he knew to be a
former Russian spy, according to a document filed by
special counsel Robert Mueller’s office on Tuesday.
The revelation comes in a sentencing memorandum filed
against Alex van der Zwaan, a London-based lawyer who
pleaded guilty in February to lying to Mueller’s
investigators about his contacts with Gates and the ex-spy.
According to the memo, Gates told van der Zwaan that he
was aware that one of their associates was a former
Russian intelligence office with the GRU, Russia’s
military intelligence outfit. The ex-GRU agent, identified
as Person A, maintained contacts with Russian intelligence
at the time of his interactions with Gates, according to the
filing. (RELATED: Mueller Charges Lawyer With
Lying About Contacts With Former Trump Campaign
Adviser)
“Federal Bureau of Investigation Special
Agents assisting the Special Counsel’s
Office assess that Person A has ties to a
Russian intelligence service and had such
ties in 2016. During his first interview with
the Special Counsel’s Office, van der
Zwaan admitted that he knew of that
connection, stating that Gates told him

.
39
Intelligence Officer with the GRU,” reads
the filing from Mueller.
The filing also states that Gates and Person A — who has
yet to be identified — were “directly communicating” in
September and October 2016.
Mueller’s team has yet to produce evidence that van der
Zwaan, Gates, or Gates’ business partner, Paul Manafort,
were involved in a scheme to influence the 2016
presidential election. Instead, Mueller has indicted Gates
and Manafort on charges related to their consulting work
for former Ukrainian prime minister Viktor Yanukovych.
Van der Zwaan, 33, worked for Manafort and Gates while
with the international law firm Skadden Arps.
Manafort’s firm was paid millions of dollars to rehabilitate
Yanukovych’s image in Ukraine. As part of that effort,
Manafort and Gates hired Skadden to produce a report that
justified the imprisonment of Yulia Tymoshenko, a
political opponent of Yanukovych’s.
Gates has recently started cooperating with Mueller’s
team. Manafort is still fighting the charges.
Van der Zwaan admitted in February that he lied to
Mueller’s investigators during a November interview. He
initially denied having contact in September 2016 with
Gates and Person A. But he acknowledged in a court filing
of his own on Tuesday that he actually recorded
conversations with both men. He said that Person A made
him aware that charges could be forthcoming against them
in Ukraine over their report on Tymoshenko. Van der
Zwaan, who was fired by Skadden Arps in November, also
said that he recorded a conversation he had with a partner
at the law firm regarding his conversation with Person A.
Van der Zwaan, who pleaded for no jail time, said that he
lied about the conversations because he did not want to
admit that he recorded Gates, Person A and the Skadden
Arps partner.

Melania said she has a birth certificate from Slovenia that

she had to produce upon becoming an American citizen.
Melania asked,

“Do you want to see Obama’s birth

certificate or not?”

Melania Trump deserves no sympathy during scandals

concerning the Trump administration because she is a
birther, according to The View co-host Joy Behar.

The comments were made on Wednesday’s broadcast of

the show while the panel was discussing the recent scandal
involving Donald Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels.
Daniels and the president are engaged in a current legal
battle over an alleged affair.
The segment opened with the hosts roundly supporting
Melania Trump and what she may be going through with
her husband, saying the matter should be kept private.
The panel called the First Lady “lovely” and “a very nice
human being” and a “very good mom” before Behar
jumped in to call Melania a “birther.”
“It’s not only Donald who wants to see
[Obama’s birth certificate],” Melania
responded. “It’s American people who
voted for him and who didn’t vote for him.
They want to see that.” Behar noted that
Obama released his certificate of live birth
and Melania said “We feel it’s different than
a birth certificate.”
Here is the clip of the interview:

“We can’t really like her 100

percent because she is a birther like her
husband,” Behar bemoaned. “I interviewed
her on my HLN show and we made news
on that because I asked her, ‘Do you think
Obama was born in this country?'”

Behar claimed that Melania said Obama

Protects Hillary Just As Lynch And Holder Did
'There Is No Excuse For Not Producing These Documents,' Former Utah
Congressman Said Of 1.2 Million Clinton Investigation Records Congress Demanded

Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said he doesn’t “see

much of a difference” between Attorney General Jeff
Sessions and his Obama administration predecessors on
holding the Department of Justice accountable for its
investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Chaffetz, the former chairman of the House Committee on

Oversight and Government Reform, said Wednesday on But Chaffetz noted that he issued a subpoena in September

Most recently, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob
Goodlatte (R-Va.) subpoenaed 1.2 million DOJ documents
regarding the investigation into the 2016 Democratic
presidential nominee’s use of a private email server and
address to conduct official government business as
secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
“The FBI put out a statement saying they’re
looking at this request. A request? It’s a
subpoena,” Chaffetz said. “I mean, if you
got on the receiving end of a subpoena, do
you think that’s just a request or do you
have to comply?”
FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday he is
“committed to ensuring that the bureau is being transparent
and responsive to legitimate congressional requests. Up
until today, we have dedicated 27 FBI staff to review the
records that are potentially responsive to Chairman
Goodlatte’s requests. The actual number of documents
responsive to this request is likely in the thousands.
“Regardless, I agree that the current pace
of production is too slow. Accordingly, I am
"Bob Goodlatte has now issued a
subpoena in 2018, and they're just getting
geared up to add a few new people? That's
just ridiculous," Chaffetz said.
Goodlatte told Fox News' Neil Cavuto on Monday that his
committee wants
"to find out why it was that the FBI was
operating the way it was in 2016 and on
into 2017, with extreme bias."
"We have seen evidence of that with the
actions of a number of people in the
department, and particularly with the text
messages of Lisa Page and Peter Strzok,"
Goodlatte said. "And this contrast between
how they handled the Clinton investigation
and how they handled the Trump-Russia
investigation is truly shocking."
Chaffetz said that the DOJ and FBI are "absolutely
obstructionists" when it comes to transparency and
accountability.

52
 "And I'm sorry, but Attorney General
Sessions, I don't see much of a difference
between him and [former attorney
generals] Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder. I
mean, what's the difference?" Chaffetz
said. "When you issue a subpoena from
Congress, it's just a suggestion? It's just a
request? There's no — no urgency that you
have to hit it by the deadline?"
Chaffetz also blasted members of Congress who
"ought to be calling those people up, they
ought to be putting them in front of
Congress, raising their hand and having
the attorney general testify as to why
they're not doing it."
"They have to hold them in contempt. Until
they get serious about it, the Department of
Justice is just going to blow it off. They
have for years and they're doing it now,"
.
53
Chaffetz said. "This is a closed case. There
is no excuse for not producing these
documents."
Although Chaffetz praised the majority of DOJ and FBI
employees for their hard work and dedication, he warned
that there are still
"a few bad apples at the top of the food
chain that are not serving the American
people well."
"And when they hide these documents and
refuse to have the exposure, then you can't
wait out the bad apples. And it just begs
the question that they're hiding something,"
Chaffetz said. "The bureaucracy, the 'deep
state,' they will act better if they know
there's going to be some oversight and
some people looking over their shoulders
sometime."
 DOJ Opens Investigation Into FISA Abuse,
FBI Contacts With ‘Confidential Source’
Saagar Enjeti - White House Correspondent
3:31 PM 03/28/2018
Department of Justice inspector general Michael Horowitz
opened an investigation Wednesday into possible FISA
abuses by the Justice Department and FBI officials and the
nature of contacts between the FBI and a confidential
source.
“The Office of the Inspector General (OIG)
will initiate a review that will examine the
Justice Department’s and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) compliance
with legal requirements, and with
applicable DOJ and FBI policies and
procedures, in applications filed with the
U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S.
person,” DOJ spokesman John Lavinsky
said in a statement accompanying the
announcement.
RELATED – TRUMP ON FISA ABUSES:
54
Lavinsky explained that “as part of this examination, the
OIG also will review information that was known to the
DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed
from or about an alleged FBI confidential source.”
Lavinsky noted that the investigation was prompted by
requests from several members of Congress and Attorney
General Jeff Sessions. House Republicans recently
released a memo claiming widespread abuse of the FISA
process on the part of the DOJ and FBI in order to obtain a
surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign associate
Carter Page.
The timing of the investigation and the reference to
members of Congress point to Page as the U.S. person.
The statement’s reference to a confidential source similarly
floats concerns found in the Republican memo
which found that the FBI and the DOJ did not disclose the
political origins of the Steele dossier in its FISA
application and revealed previously undisclosed testimony
from former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe that an
investigation into Page would not have occurred without
Steele’s dossier.
The nature of contacts between DOJ officials and Steele
during the opening of an investigation into the 2016 Trump
campaign has been the nature of some controversy. The
Republican memo especially expressed concern over the
nature of meetings between Steele and DOJ official Bruce
Ohr, whose wife worked for Steele for some time.

 FBI Agent Who Aimed To Expose “Systemic Biases”
Charged By DOJ For Leaking Secret Document
By Joshua Caplan
March 28, 2018, 5:26 Pm
Federal criminal charges filed
in Minnesota this week reveal the
Justice Department has charged a
former FBI agent, who aimed to blow the
whistle on the bureau’s “systemic
biases,” for leaking a secret document
to the media.
https://twitter.com/PoliticalShort/status/979122541083029
504
Star Tribune reports:
The charges, filed by prosecutors for the
Justice Department’s National Security
Division, are the first to come in Minnesota
since Attorney General Jeff Sessions
announced a broad crackdown on
government leaks last year.
A two-page felony information, a charging
document that typically signals an imminent
guilty plea, outlines two counts filed against
Terry James Albury of unlawfully disclosing
and retaining national defense information.
.
59
Albury is accused of sharing a document on assessing
confidential human sources — otherwise referred to as
informants — and a document “relating to threats posed by
certain individuals from a particular Middle Eastern
country” with a reporter for a national media organization.
The second count charged against Albury alleged that he
failed to turn over a document “relating to the use of an
online platform for recruitment by a specific terrorist
group” last year.
The charges do not name the reporter or news organization
but specify that Albury allegedly possessed and shared the
information between February 2016 and Jan. 31, 2017 —
the same date that the Intercept published an entryto its
“FBI’s Secret Rules” series on how the bureau assesses
potential informants. The report drew upon a secret
document obtained by the Intercept that has the same
publication date described in the charges against Albury.
On Wednesday, Albury’s lawyers, JaneAnne Murray and
Joshua Dratel, released a statement on behalf of their
client.
“Terry Albury served the U.S. with
distinction both here at home and abroad in
Iraq,” said the statement.
“He accepts full responsibility for the
conduct set forth in the Information. We
would like to add that as the only African-
American FBI field agent in Minnesota, Mr.
Albury’s actions were driven by a
conscientious commitment to long-term
national security and addressing the well-
documented systemic biases within the
FBI.”
 New Strzok-Page Texts Suggest Coordination Between
Obama WH, CIA, FBI, DOJ AND DEMS Early
In Trump-Russia Witch Hunt
By Cristina Laila
March 28, 2018, 5:55 Pm

Newly uncovered text messages

between FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and
Lisa Page suggests there was
coordination between the Obama White
House, CIA, FBI, DOJ and Democrat
officials early on in the Trump-Russia
witch hunt.
Imagine our shock.
A text message from Strzok to Page on Aug. 3 described
former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as being
concerned with “information control” related to the initial
investigation into the Trump campaign. According to a
report from the New York Times, Brennan was sent to
Capitol Hill around the same time to brief members of
Congress on the possibility of election interference.
Days later, on Aug. 8, 2016, Strzok texted Page:

“Internal joint cyber cd intel piece for D,

scenesetter for McDonough brief, Trainer
[head of FBI cyber division] directed all

hammer it out first, though it would be best
for D to have it before the Wed WH

In the texts, “D” referred to FBI Director James Comey,

and and “McDonough” referred to Chief of Staff Denis
McDonough, the GOP investigators said.

FBI lovebirds Strzok and Page text each other the next day
about the letter Reid wrote to Comey. Apparently they
were briefed on the incoming letter by Comey via Fox
News:
The following day, Aug. 30, 2016, Page texted Strzok:

congressional source told Fox News.
“This created the inference they knew it
would create public calls for an
investigation into Russian interference —

The source told Fox News on Wednesday that
investigators were neither “passing judgement” nor
“claiming a smoking gun,” but suggested that the timeline
was “incredibly concerning.”
“At some point, the amount of concerning
information becomes enough for a special
counsel to look into it.”

Strzok replied:
We are way overdue for a Special Counsel investigating
the FISA abuses and weaponization of the FBI and DOJ.

 Trump Fires Shulkin,
Announces New VA Secretary
Julia Nista - Associate Editor

President Trump announced Wednesday White House
physician Ronny Jackson will be the new secretary of the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
“I am pleased to announce that I intend to

L. Jackson, MD, as the new Secretary of
Veterans Affairs….” Trump tweeted.
“….In the interim, Hon. Robert Wilkie of
DOD will serve as Acting Secretary. I am
thankful for Dr. David Shulkin’s service to
our country and to our GREAT
VETERANS!” Trump continued.
62
The previous secretary of the VA, David Shulkin, seemed
to have lost favor with the White House after an IG report
surfaced in February that alleged he misused VA funds to
send his wife to Europe. In the wake of the IG report,
Shulkin was not consistent in his reasoning as to the order
of events surrounding the approved funds for his wife’s
travel. (RELATED: Shulkin Says Impersonation Of

Shulkin was appointed by former President Barack Obama
and was the only cabinet secretary to carry over into the
Trump administration.
Admiral Ronny L. Jackson currently serves as physician to
the president. Unlike Sec. Shulkin, Adm. Jackson has a
long history of serving in the military. He began active
service in the Navy in 1995, and he served a residency in
the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center in 2001. In 2005, he
deployed with Operation Iraqi Freedom as part of the 2nd

 White House Officials Doubt Congress
Can Pass Trump’s Infrastructure Plan
Thomas Phippen - Reporter
6:38 PM 03/28/2018
The White House is pushing President Donald Trump’s
plan to generate $1.5 trillion into infrastructure, but it
likely won’t happen in 2018, officials said Wednesday.
“We see quite a bit of movement on Capitol
Hill right now on different elements of the
president’s plan, so I think the odds that
pieces of this pass this year are very, very
high,” one official told reporters on a
conference call. “Will we get the entire bill
this year? That’s more of a stretch.”
Trump will push infrastructure during a speech in Ohio
Thursday. There’s some hope to make progress on getting
part of the money for the infrastructure package before the
2018 midterms, while most of it will likely have to wait
until 2019.
“We hope to get a big chunk of the plan
done this year; but whatever we’re not able
to get through this year, we’ll take up next
year,” the official said. “We never
anticipated this was going to be a quick or
easy process, and the president just
absolutely is in this for the long haul.”
The president’s plan includes $200 billion federal
investment over a decade, which should leverage state,
local and private partnerships in infrastructure projects.
The plan also relies on streamlining the approval process
for projects and allowing agencies to make decisions on
funding without going through as many bureaucratic
hoops.
.
63
The president also wants states and cities to have more
skin in the game to ensure projects are truly needed and
completed properly.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers released
a report Wednesday:
A $1.5 trillion infrastructure development
program could add between 0.1 and 0.2
percentage point to annual gross domestic
product growth. The infrastructure plan
would also add 290,000 to 414,000
additional infrastructure workers to the
workforce over 10 years, according to the
report.
Infrastructure has been on Trump’s agenda since the
beginning of his presidency, but there’s little appetite for

obvious thing is, where are we with debt

in a way that is in keeping with what the
American people want,” Cohen answered.
“You know, I think that there’s a right to
bear arms of individuals to protect their
homes, and I passed a right to carry bill
when I was a state senator because people
ought to have a right to protect their home.”
“But there are reasonable restrictions that
can be placed on the purchase of weapons
like AR-15s and AK-47s. And, that’s been
the case through history. Sawed off
shotguns were not allowed since 1938, and
even in the Heller decision of 2008, which
was awful, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme
Court said that there could be restrictions,”
he said.
“So no, I think the Supreme Court needs
better justices who interpret the Second
Amendment in the way it should be
interpreted, which is kind of what Justice
Stevens says. It was for a well-regulated
militia, but it won’t be repealed and it’s a
political issue. This is one place where
President Trump is right about the law–

John Brennan
Well the gloves have certainly come off
now. No former top security government
official has even made such damning
statements about a sitting president as
ex-CIA head John Brennan did last
week. And this was not a Trump-style
off-the-cuff tweet, but an MSNBC feature
news interview.
Brennan did not literally call the President a national
security risk. Saying that would have undermined his
point, making him look vindictive. Sometimes you can
have more impact with the public by taking them 98% of
the way there, and letting them figure out the last two
percent.
There are many Republicans in Congress who feel exactly
the same way, but have to bite their tongue to maintain
their fragile hold on majority power, with the Democrats
eager to begin regaining control in the midterm elections,
and where Trump and his chaos problems might possibly
help them.

I think this is the only photo of Sam Houston Johnson (aka
the Hustler)
Other presidential relatives have used a White House
family relationship to boost their businesses, but not doing
it at the White House site. One of the most famous was
Lyndon Johnson’s huckster younger brother,, who was a
constant problem looking for money and favors all the
time.
One night he called the White House to contact Bill
Gulley, the military affairs liaison and legendary White
House fixer. Sam was having a party on a big yacht in the
New York Harbor and wanted the port lights turned off for
better mood-lighting. Such was a typical request from the
pestering brother.
Gulley had a job where saying no was
never an option, so he called the harbor
master and, on presidential authority,
asked for the lights to be turned off. In
the morning, all hell broke loose as it
turned out that the yacht was actually
one being held in a customs seizure,
and it had “escaped” during the night in
the blackout, and inquiries were being
made as to White House involvement.
It seems LBJ-brother Sam had taken a contract to get the
boat out of US jurisdiction to make some quick money and
he did. This is not a tall tale, as I have Bill Gulley’s
wonderful book in my library.
Mueller got General Flynn to take a plea because Flynn
was stupid enough to bring his son in to the influence-
peddling business with him from his modest former
occupation. Mueller had put a prosecutor on Flynn with a
long record of going after family members with felony
charges to get the principle to plead.
It did not take long for the dot
connectors to suspect that the same
route might be happening with the
Trump family. There have been more
than a few rumors going around that
Trump’s aggressive foreign policy has
been used to shake down a number of
foreign entities.
They would include those looking to buy weapons
technology and nuclear technology, or whoever might
think it was a good idea to partner with the Trump sons in
large real estate business deals. Saudi Arabia rolled out the
carpet not only for Trump, but also for Ivanka.
The flip side of that is when funding the right business
deals might get Daddy Trump off someone’s back. More
than a few people think Trump would not be above this,
68
thinking that with all the presidential power at his disposal,
no one could lay a glove on him.
But the irony in this story is what we say in the southern
US, “the pot calling the kettle black”. While many of us
would agree that Trump is certainly a national security
risk, Brennan is not squeaky clean by any means. He was a
national security risk to millions of innocent civilians for
his overseeing much of the US proxy terror war, where the
CIA was in it up to its eyeballs.
The arms running is well known within the community and
even documented, particularly the Soviet-era arms that
came out of the Balkans, and especially from Ukraine
where everything was for sale.
Who is Logistically Supporting Terrorism Efforts?
Obama did a fabulous job with the miracle of the JCPOA,
but the his terror war on Syria will forever stain his legacy
with me
Many describe what Obama and Brennan inflicted
upon the world as an ongoing 9-11, with victim countries
that could only wish they had just 3000 dead.
Vietnam Veterans who served honorably, even if
unhappily, are appalled at what they are seeing now in
America’s forays abroad, to the point where they don’t
encourage young family members to go into the military.
For instance, in Iraq and Syria, the US military handled the
logistics work supporting the terrorists, which provided
cover for the US moving forces into both countries to fight
the same terrorism that it and the Gulf States had created.
The military people who did the dirty work in these wars
have a big surprise waiting for them, as older veterans
fully aware of what they did are not going to be honoring
them for aiding and abetting a terror proxy war.
Yet, these people will probably not care, as we see them
eventually going into the private contract mercenary
business that is growing, and laughing all the way to the
bank with the big money to be made there. It is an industry
known for being able to create work when business is
slow. We are seeing multi- national corporations, even the
big tech companies, building their own paramilitary
branches, like Google for example.
All this silly aggressiveness has many
traditional security senior people
concerned about the lack of
accountability. The public seems to not
care a bit as long as their family
members don’t come home in body
bags. No politician is running for office
with a platform of standing against the
US using proxy terrorism as a regime-
change tool.
The US has openly declared that, in pursuit of its unipolar,
full-spectrum global dominance plans, no previous

agreements that it has signed will impede its goals. It has
gone from the fairy tale of spreading freedom and
democracy to “join the team or be put on the target list”.
However, that does not give me a warm fuzzy patriotic
feeling in my tummy.
I am embarrassed by these deceptive foreign policies, as I
come from an old military family going back to the
American Revolution, with many honored with burial in

Trump Supporters Call For Boycott Of Netflix After Susan
‘Benghazi’ Rice Appointed To Board Of Directors
By Cristina Laila
March 28, 2018, 7:11 Pm

Netflix doubled down on their support
for Obama corruption by appointing
Susan ‘Benghazi’ Rice to the board of
directors.
As previously reported, Barack Obama, the worst
economic president since 1949 with the worst foreign
policy record who sent racial tensions to the stratosphere,
is in talks with Netflix to push his far left blathering, fake
news and junk science.
of illegally unmasking Donald Trump’s private associates
during the 2016 presidential election.
Trump supporters called for a boycott of Netflix.
Everything the left touches it destroys with their Marxist
agenda.
Netflix boasts over 100 million subscribers so of course
Obama and Rice are chomping at the bit to brainwash their
viewers with anti-American, anti-Christian garbage.

The propaganda never ends. Netflix shares tumbled over 7% Wednesday as tech
continues to get pummeled.

Note: The author of this article cancelled

their Netflix subscription shortly after it was
announced Obama was in talks with
Netflix.

The reaction from Trump supporters included calling for a

boycott of Netflix and flaunting subscription cancellations:

Via the Hollywood Reporter:

“We are delighted to welcome Ambassador

Rice to the Netflix board,” said Netflix co-
founder and CEO Reed Hastings. “For
decades, she has tackled difficult, complex
global issues with intelligence, integrity and
insight and we look forward to benefiting
from her experience and wisdom.”
“I am thrilled to be joining the board of
directors of Netflix, a cutting-edge company
whose leadership, high-quality productions,
and unique culture I deeply admire,” said
Rice.

Susan Rice is best known for lying about the motive

behind the Benghazi attack which left FOUR Americans
dead in September of 2012. Susan Rice blamed the
terrorist attack on a YouTube video which we all know to
be an outright lie.

 3-D Chess: It Only Looks Like Trump
Is Throwing Away His Presidency!
Ann Coulter - Political Commentator
7:18 PM 03/28/2018
I can’t wait to see Trump’s next move in his game of “3-D
chess”!
You see, it only looks like Trump is The Worst Negotiator
God Ever Created. Instead of telling Democrats,
“I won’t even talk about DACA until we
have the border wall,” Trump has
repeatedly given up the wall, aka The
Central Promise of His Campaign, Without
Which He Would Not Be in the White
House.
He has now signed a spending bill that, if it actually did
what it claims to do, prohibits him from building the wall,
hiring any new ICE agents capable of making arrests, and
building any new detention facilities for illegal aliens.
The strange thing is, as commander in chief, he doesn’t
need congressional authority to do any of these things. But
he obviously doesn’t know that.
Why? BECAUSE HE’S PLAYING 3-D
CHESS!
Instead of making even a fake effort and forcing
Democrats to get up off the couch to vote against the wall,
Trump cleverly leapt to the front of the anti-Trump parade
and pretended it was all his idea.
I told Sen. Schumer: I WANT AMNESTY! I
was very clear! Look at him, running
around like a loser doing my bidding.
72
Trump’s main response to a bill that actively prohibits him
from keeping his central campaign promise was to
denounce Congress for not sending him a bill legalizing
“Dreamers.” Which also breaks a campaign promise.
It’s all part of the act, you fools! Trump is making the
Democrats think that, even though they don’t have the
House, the Senate or the White House, he needs Chuck
Schumer’s permission before moving a muscle.
Carefully observe the master. He gives up
everything and — in exchange — gets
NOTHING. See?
The easy thing to do would be to say,
There’s no way any amnesty happens until
the wall is complete.
Anybody could do that. But we didn’t elect just anybody.
We elected the guy whose name is on the cover of “The
Art of the Deal.” Sure, he didn’t write it — and probably
didn’t read it — but Trump must have heard about some of
the trite advice it contains.
This shows what a master strategist Trump is.
He throws out the rulebook! You know what
else, suckers? Now he can put out a
paperback edition with a new chapter, How
to Give Up Everything in Return for
Nothing.
The wins are already rolling in. Guess who’s suddenly
dying to negotiate with Trump? That’s right: Kim Jong
Un. One look at how Trump negotiates and Kim
couldn’t wait to sit down with him.
Trump took office with the most precious gift any
president could ever ask for: winning the White House
with ZERO support from Wall Street. But instead of
calling in the big banks and saying, Welcome to
hell! Trump checkmated them by spending his first 15
months in office cravenly begging for their approval.
The expression “dance with the one who brung you” is old
paradigm thinking. This is Trump Thinking.
The Republican Brain Trust sneered at Trump throughout
the 2016 campaign, certain that they were in no danger
from this ridiculous creature.
And damned if he didn’t win.
After that, Trump could have summoned Mitch McConnell
and Paul Ryan to the Oval Office and demanded that they
show him their testicles. Instead, he became their water
boy.
Doing Sen. McConnell’s bidding, he endorsed Luther
Strange in Alabama, instead of the Trumpian candidate,
Mo Brooks. That resulted in a gigantically embarrassing
loss, so, naturally, he continued to do whatever McConnell
said.
You think Trump doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing?
That’s another new chapter for “The Art of the Deal”!
(Ignore People Whose Advice Has Been Good; Hire
People Whose Advice Has Been Catastrophic.)
Following the McConnell/Ryan playbook, Trump cut taxes
(which is vitally important to Americans who don’t have
jobs and whose communities are overrun with heroin) and
expanded the bloated, wasteful defense budget. (The
permanent-war wing of the GOP LOVES him now!)
Thanks to Trump’s 3-D chess, he may well be in line for
an endorsement not only from Boeing, but also from the
powerhouse Bush family.
When a Republican House and Republican Senate deliver
a spending bill to Trump that prevents him from putting so
much as a rickety fence on more than 33 miles of the
border, I think it’s safe to say that not only do
congressional Republicans not fear Trump, they’re
laughing at him.
73
3-D chess, baby! Trump has lured
Republicans right into his trap.
Obviously, a blue wave this fall is much more likely now.
That’s the plan, morons.
Just wait and see how they like it when the GOP gets
wiped out in the midterms. Sure, we’ll get all the heinous
PC policies we would have gotten under Hillary. But
Trump is thinking three moves ahead. He could make
history by being only the third president ever impeached.
Top that, Obama!
Only a chump would complain about Trump cheerfully
doing a 180 on everything he campaigned for. If Trump
voters are upset, it’s on them, not on him.
I was there! At every single rally during the campaign,
Trump would whip the crowd into a frenzy over the wall,
deporting illegals and no more “stupid wars” — but he was
always VERY careful to end his speeches by saying:
Unless, of course, anyone who represents
conventional Republican thinking
disagrees, in which case, I will do none of
this.
I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Just hang on to your hats, because while you’re all playing
checkers, Trump is playing 3-D chess.
(NOTE: If I am wrong and President Trump ever builds
the wall, I will apologize profusely, return to calling him
“the Emperor God” and throw a fabulous party at the
grand opening of the completed wall.)

My Kids ‘Actually Love Me’

The former Florida governor hasn’t been silent since

Trump became president. In January, he tweeted that he
felt “encouraged” by President Trump holding a bipartisan
immigration meeting.

Failed Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush

attacked President Donald Trump in a speech at Yale
Tuesday, implying that Trump’s children don’t love him.

According to the Yale Daily News,

“Bush said that, unlike Trump, he returns

home every day to his children ‘who
actually love me.'”
That wasn’t the only thing Bush had to say.
The Yale Daily News also reported that Bush said,
“I’m not going to talk about the 2016
election.”
“I’m still in therapy.”

 Ex-Top Obama Official Admits John Bolton Can Be
Massively Effective As National Security Advisor
By Joshua Caplan
March 28, 2018, 8:12 Pm
Attention leakers and Obama holdovers
(or both!) currently working to
undermine President Trump’s foreign
policy: your days in the White House are
reportedly numbered.
Daily Caller reports:
Sources told Foreign Policy that Bolton’s
planned purge will start with Obama
administration holdovers and eventually
broaden to include leakers and those
disloyal to the president. […]
Another official issued a warning to former
Obama officials —
“Everyone who was there during Obama
years should start packing their shit.”
But the purge reportedly won’t stop with former Obama
appointees. A source told Foreign Policy that Bolton
intends to
“remove almost all the political [appointees]
McMaster brought in.”
Not only will Bolton take out the leakers, but will skillfully
navigate government bureaucracy, says one former Obama
official.
POLITICO reports:
John Bolton’s critics have called him a warmonger, an
Islamophobe and a quasher of dissent. But one label
alarms them most about President Donald Trump’s
incoming national security adviser: savvy bureaucrat.
While policy knife fights don’t provoke the same gut fear
as talk of a pre-emptive strike on North Korea, foreign
policy insiders who consider Bolton’s views dangerously
hawkish say his long track record in government will make
him all too effective.
76
“If you disagree with Bolton’s policy
preferences, he is dangerous for three
reasons: He is unafraid to start a policy
fight in public, he knows how to pull
bureaucratic levers when convenient, and
he knows how to work around bureaucratic
barriers when not,” said Loren DeJonge
Schulman, a top aide to former Obama
White House national security adviser
Susan Rice.
On Wednesday, Bush-era deputy national security
advisor Elliott Abrams gushed about Bolton to POLITICO.
“He really knows how to make the system
work.”
“One of the critical jobs of the national
security adviser is making sure the
bureaucracy implements the president’s
decisions, and John knows exactly how to
do that,” said Abrams.
As The Gateway Pundit‘s Jim Hoft reported, President
Trump announced last Thursday that former U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton will
replace H.R. McMaster as National Security Advisor next
month.
“I am pleased to announce that, effective
4/9/18, @AmbJohnBolton will be my new
National Security Advisor. I am very
thankful for the service of General H.R.
McMaster who has done an outstanding
job & will always remain my friend. There
will be an official contact handover on 4/9,”
Trump tweeted.
 Exclusive: One Of Shulkin’s Final Acts:
Moving Desk Of Trump’s Guy Into
Glorified Utility Closet
Luke Rosiak - Investigative Reporter
8:30 PM 03/28/2018
Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin
appeared to send a message to President Donald Trump by
exiling senior White House adviser Jake Leinenkugel, who
worked as Trump’s “eyes and ears” in the agency, to a
glorified cubicle resembling the “entrance to a mechanical
area,” according to an employee who saw it.
His desk was moved in the last week from an office next to
Shulkin’s on the 10th floor, which houses executives, to a
“cubicle/office” in the middle of the 7th floor — “an island
in Siberia,” the employee said.
The tiny slight was one of Shulkin’s final acts at the helm
of the 300,000 employee, $200 billion agency before
Trump fired him Wednesday.
“You go through this winding area of what
looks like would-be utility rooms. There’s
no administrative assistant [who] greets
you or anything. It’s about 8’x10,’ no
natural light, with see-through partitions. I
saw his nameplate,” the employee said.
.
77
Shulkin, who former President Barack Obama originally
appointed to a VA position, battled conservatives like
White House Domestic Policy Council veteran affairs
adviser Darin Selnick and Leinenkugel, a Trump official
embedded in the VA. Both Selnick and Leinenkugel
struggled against Shulkin to implement policies
conservatives favored at the agency. Leinenkugel noted
that Shulkin’s right hand woman, chief of staff Vivieca
Wright Simpson, proudly said she was a Democrat.
“This happened in the last week. I think it
could have been the last straw,” the
employee said of the desk move.
Shulkin lashed out between February and March about
conspiracies against him and said he would find and fire
people who Politico described as “conservative foes.”
But with Trump’s firing of Shulkin Wednesday,
Leinenkugel may once again be moving back to the corner
office.
Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Colorado who is
former chairman of its oversight panel, cheered the
removal.
“Dr. Shulkin came from within the VA and
did nothing to clean up the culture of
bureaucratic incompetence that has
defined the leadership at the VA. I’m

 Goodlatte Sees ‘Stunning’
Contrast Between Clinton, Trump Investigations
'You Can't Have' The DOJ 'Conducting Itself In The Manner It Did In 2016 And

“confidential human sources” and another

document “relating to threats posed by
certain individuals from a particular Middle

“knowingly and willfully” shared those

platform for recruitment by a specific

 Bad News For Democrats=> Roseanne Outperformed
In Middle America- Kansas City, Tulsa,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati Lead List
By Jim Hoft
March 29, 2018, 7:51 Am
The Roseanne relaunch took America
by storm on Tuesday night.
Finally there is a show on national
television for the other half of America.
Roseanne was back and she’s pro-Trump, anti-Hillary,
anti-resistance and pro-American.
What a refreshing idea!
Now this…
The results are in and Roseanne was a
ratings blowout!
The relaunch was the most watched
comedy in 4 years and even beat the
Stormy Daniels Sunday “60 Minutes”
video in the adult demo.
The sitcom did particularly well in
Middle America.
Leading the ratings were Kansas City,
Tulsa, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and
Cincinnati.
Raymond Arroyo discussed the ratings
bonanza with Laura Ingraham on
Wednesday’s show.

A stunning 29 percent of Kansas City’s
Tuesday TV audience was watching
Roseanne.
More from The Hollywood Reporter:
According to Nielsen Media’s metered-
market ratings, which show tune-in by
households in 56 of America’s biggest
metropolitan areas, Roseanne scored the
highest in…Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
country’s No. 62 market, with just over
500,000 TV-watching households,
outperformed the national average by 60
percent with an average 19.0 overnight
rating. The market with the highest
percentage of TV-watching households
tuned into the show was also in the Central
Time Zone. An impressive 29 percent of
Kansas City’s Tuesday TV audience was
watching Roseanne.
Across all of Nielsen’s metered markets, the show
averaged a robust 11.9 rating among households and 20
percent share of the audience. Other overperforming
markets include Cincinnati (No. 2), Pittsburgh (No. 4) and
Chicago (No. 5). The latter, TV’s No. 3 market with nearly
3.5 million TV-watching households, helped Roseanne
considerably. (The iconic sitcom is set in Illinois, so read

 Documents Suggest Massive Collusion Between CIA, FBI,
Obama White House, Top Dems Early
In Trump-Russia Probe
March 29, 2018

A text message from Strzok to Page on Aug. 3 the

described former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as
being concerned with “information control” as it related to
the initial probe into the Trump campaign.

According to a report from The New York Times, Brennan

had been sent to Capitol Hill around that time to brief
members of Congress on the possibility of election
interference.

Fox News reported further:

(National Sentinel) Deep State: Investigators say that
newly uncovered text messages suggest there was massive
collusion between the Obama White House, top
Democrats, the CIA and the FBI in the earliest days of the
Trump-Russia investigation.
As reported by Fox News, the messages — between FBI
counterterrorism official Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI
lawyer Lisa Page —
“suggest a possible coordination between
high-ranking officials at the Obama White
House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and
former Senate Democratic leadership in the
early stages of the investigation.”
Investigators said the information “strongly” suggests
coordination between former President Obama’s chief of
staff, Denis McDonough, then-Senate Democratic leader
Harry Reid of Nevada, and CIA Director John Brennan.
Investigations say that likely coordination would
“contradict” the Obama administration’s public statements
about its role in the process.
Page texted Strzok on Aug. 2, 2016, saying:
“Make sure you can lawfully protect what
you sign. Just thinking about congress,
foia, etc. You probably know better than
me.”
The network noted further:
Days later, on Aug. 8, 2016, Strzok texted
Page: “Internal joint cyber cd intel piece for
D, scenesetter for McDonough brief,
Trainor [head of FBI cyber division]
directed all cyber info be pulled. I’d let Bill
and Jim hammer it out first, though it would
be best for D to have it before the Wed WH
session.”
In the texts, “D” referred to FBI Director
James Comey, and “McDonough” referred
to Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the
GOP investigators said.
“We are not making conclusions. What we
are saying is that the timeline is concerning
enough to warrant the appointment of an
independent investigator to look at whether
or not the Obama White House was
involved [in the Trump-Russia
investigation],” a GOP congressional
source told the news network.
The investigators noted further that the CIA
and FBI are supposed to be “independent
agencies,” adding that that “coordination
between political actors at the White House
and investigators would be inappropriate,”
thus raising questions about the level of
involvement of Obama White House
officials.

86
 But weeks later, on August 25, 2016,
Brennan went to Capitol Hill to brief Harry
Reid — and it was unclear whether FBI
officials attended the briefing, a
congressional source told Fox News.
Two days after the briefing, Reid penned a
letter to Comey requesting an investigation
into potential collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia.
Brennan has publicly criticized President Donald J. Trump
on a number of occasions, which itself is odd for a former
intelligence chief.
The New York Times first reported on Reid’s letter to
Comey on Aug. 29, 2016.
Fox News:
.
87
The following day, Aug. 30, 2016, Strzok
texted Page: “Here we go,” sending a link
to the Times report titled, “Harry Reid Cites
Evidence of Russian Tampering in U.S.
Vote and seeks FBI inquiry.”
Strzok replied: “D [Comey] said at am brief
that Reid called him and told him he would
be sending a letter.”
“The ‘here we go’ text between Strzok and
Page indicates the FBI/ DOJ knew the
letter from Reid was coming,” a
congressional source told Fox News. “This
created the inference they knew it would
create public calls for an investigation into
Russian interference — covering them.
“At some point, the amount of concerning
information becomes enough for a special
counsel to look into it,” the source told the
network.

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump tag teamed former
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Twitter late
Wednesday night.
Bush took a swipe at President Trump in a Tuesday speech
at Yale by implying that the first children don’t love their
father.
Trump’s adult sons clearly took issue with Jeb’s joke.
“I actually love my father very much,” Eric
tweeted before bringing up one of Bush’s
most embarrassing moments from the
campaign.
Don Jr. chimed in a few hours later and poked fun at
Bush’s campaign branding.
“Jeb!” the eldest Trump son wrote. “I love
everything about my father. I love that he’s
a fighter, I love that he has guts, I love that
he’s President (all those things you’re not).”
“Also love that he learned enough about
politics in a few weeks to dismantle you
piece by piece despite it being your life’s
work.”

 Judge Napolitano Thinks Inspector General Will Find
‘Treasure Trove’ Of Abuses By The FBI Against Trump
Nick Givas - Media And Politics Reporter
10:26 AM 03/29/2018
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said an
investigation into the FBI and the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA) Court will yield a “treasure trove”
of abuses, Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”
“The FBI was never perfect. Made up of
human beings that have political
aspirations and political ideas. But when it
was confined just to law enforcement, it
knew how to do its job. After 9/11, when
the FBI was moved into intelligence-
gathering as well as law enforcement, the
abuses began to ramp up,” Napolitano
said. “It’s not just Andrew McCabe. By the
time McCabe got there, the concept of —
You want a warrant? Go to FISA. They
issue any warrant you want. That attitude
among FBI and intelligence officials in the
NSA was so rampant they all did it. Hence
the FISA court awarding 99.9 percent of all
warrants requested.”
WATCH:
91
Napolitano was shocked by the ratio of approved FISA
Court applications and said he expects investigators to
uncover numerous abuses by the FBI against President
Donald Trump and everyday Americans.
“I’ve never heard of a ratio, a number that
high. 99.9 percent. Because FISA meets in
secret. It kept lowering the standards. And
FBI people who knew, they couldn’t get a
warrant from a judge like me where the
standard is probable cause of crime. Go to
FISA where the standard is probable cause
of talking to a foreign person,” he
concluded, adding:
I believe that the inspector general will find
a treasure trove, not just McCabe and
company, but that is the most extreme
violation we know of because the target,
the victim is the president of the United
States. Though he was a candidate and
then president-elect at the time. But he will
find a treasure trove of abuses. Going to
FISA, getting warrants, when the law did
not justify it.

 Legal Analysis: Constitution Compels
That Sessions Must RESTRAIN Mueller
Posted On March 29, 2018
(National Sentinel) Duty to Act: A legal analysis
examining special counsel Robert Mueller’s continually
expanding probe claims that Attorney General Jeff
Sessions has a constitutional duty to reign him in.
The analysis, from practicing attorney and constitutional
expert Robert Barnes, begins by noting that former
campaign manager for President Donald J. Trump, Paul
Manafort, has filed a motion in court to have all of the
charges brought against him by Mueller dropped on the
grounds that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had
no authority to appoint Mueller to investigate anything
outside of the Trump campaign.
“If we follow that argument that would
mean Sessions himself has exclusive
authority to appoint a special counsel for
non-collusion charges, and Sessions has
taken no such action,” Barnes writes.
“Sessions himself should make that clear to
Mueller, rather than await court resolution.
Doing so would remove three of the four
areas of inquiry from Mueller’s requested
interview with President Trump,” he
continued, which has not yet been
scheduled.
Barnes noted further:
Sessions formally notifying Mueller that he
does not have authority to act outside of
campaign-related cases and cases related
94
to obstruction of Mueller’s investigation
would be doing what the Constitution
compels: enforcing the Appointments
Clause of the Constitution. Additionally,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not
have authority to act outside of campaign-
related cases would be exercising
Sessions’ court-recognized
Constitutional obligation to “direct and
supervise litigation” conducted by the
Department of Justice. Furthermore,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not
have authority to act outside of campaign-
related cases protects against the
inappropriate use of the federal grand jury
that defendant Manafort now rightly
complains about.
Barnes also noted that Sessions’ restraint of Mueller would
also reaffirm the public’s confidence in the justice system
and restore the public’s faith in federal institutions.
The constitutional expert reminds readers that Sessions’
recusal was very pointed and specific, to only include
“any existing or future investigations of any
matters related in any way to the
campaigns for President of the United
States.”
He wrote the recusal letter thus limits Sessions’ recusal
specifically to the 2016 campaigns; it does not pertain to
anything beyond that.
Mueller, however, has greatly expanded his probe to
include any potentially illegal activity involving anyone
from the Trump campaign, hence the indictment of
Manafort and others for charges unlated to the special
counsel’s original purpose — to see if there was any
“collusion” or other illegal activity involving Russia and
the Trump campaign.
“Constitutionally, Sessions has a ‘duty to
direct and supervise litigation’ conducted
by the Department of Justice,” Barnes
writes. “Ethically, professionally, and
legally, Sessions cannot ignore his
 supervisory obligations for cases that are
not related to the ‘campaigns for
President.'”
Barnes noted as well that the Constitution’s Appointments
clause says that the democratic process must control
appointments of all but “inferior” officers.
“This means there can be no principal
executive branch officer except those the
President personally appoints and the
Senate advises and consents to,” he wrote.
“The special counsel, when not appointed
by the President, cannot act legally except
as an “inferior” officer, strictly limited to the
jurisdictional subject matter limits of his
appointment and supervisory power of
those above him that have been directly,
democratically appointed by democratically
elected officials.”
By limiting Mueller, Sessions would be enforcing limits
set forth by Rosenstein’s letter authorization.
“Contrary to anti-Trump critics, Mueller’s
mandate was not ‘get Trump,’ ‘indict
.
95
anybody who ever worked for Trump,'”
Barnes wrote.
“Mueller’s authority is limited to ‘links
between the Russian government and
individuals associated with the campaign of
President Donald Trump.’ Any subject
matter that does not concern ‘the
campaign,’ is a subject matter that
Sessions Constitutionally must directly
supervise Mueller,” he added.
That includes Sessions’ power to notify Mueller and even
revoke his authority in cases outside of the Trump
campaign, said Barnes.
“In sum, Sessions notifying Mueller he
does not have authority to act on non-
campaign related investigations would
restore Mueller’s special counsel’s
office to its intended Constitutional
constrictions, remove the Beria-style
investigative techniques witnessed over
the past year, and restore public faith
that our Constitutional democracy is
still a Constitutional democracy,”
Barnes wrote.
 Shulkin Says The White House Silenced Him –
He Actually Responded To Allegations Three Times
Ethan Barton - Investigative Reporter
11:13 AM 03/29/2018
Ousted Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary
David Shulkin said Thursday that the White House didn’t
allow him to respond to allegations that he misused
taxpayer dollars, but he actually responded three times.
Shulkin improperly used government money to bankroll a
trip to Europe for him and his wife and also improperly
accepted Wimbledon tickets, according to the VA’s
inspector general (IG). The report was one of a number of
likely reasons Shulkin was fired from his position
Wednesday.
Shulkin said the White House did not let him respond to
the report.
“This was completely mischaracterized,”
Shulkin told NPR Thursday. “There was
nothing improper about this trip, and I was
not allowed to put up an official statement
or to even respond to this by the White
House. I think this was really just being
used in a political context to try to make
sure that I wasn’t as effective as a leader
moving forward.”
But February’s IG report actually contains three responses
from him: two from lawyers representing Shulkin and one
from the then-secretary himself.
The “report does not appear accurate or
objective, and it contains the thread of
bias,” he wrote to IG Michael Missal. “A
report of this nature is a direct assault on
my spouse, my character and my
unblemished record of service to the
Veterans Affairs Administration.”
“The current draft report … ignores critical
facts, improperly applies the relevant
regulations and draws conclusions based
on subjective and arbitrary criteria,” Shulkin
96
continued, adding that he conducted official
business on the trip.
Nearly half of the 10-day trip was spent vacationing,
according to the IG report.
Meanwhile, a Monday IG report showed that a VA
subagency Shulkin previously ran didn’t conduct
background checks on thousands of medical personnel and
didn’t review more than 10,000 completed investigations
within the required 90 days.
Shulkin also pointed out that the report was leaked to the
media before he “had an opportunity to respond.” But the
initial USA TODAY report that received the leaked
information included Shulkin’s response to the IG.
The IG report also included statements from lawyers
representing Shulkin, including a 16-page letter from
MoloLamken lawyer Justin V. Shur.
“The draft report cannot be published in its
current form,” Justin V. Shur, a lawyer with
MoloLamken, wrote to Missal. “It ignores
critical facts, presenting a one-sided
version of events that casts aside evidence
contradicting your chosen narrative.”
Shur provided arguments that the European trip was
“immensely valuable to the VA,” that “Shulkin did not
improperly accept Wimbledon tickets,” and that ethics
officials approved Shulkin’s wife’s travel.
Shulkin’s chief of staff allegedly made false
representations to a VA ethics official, according to the IG.
“[U]nder applicable ethics regulations,
Secretary Shulkin’s acceptance of
Wimbledon tickets was proper,” Miller &
Chevalier lawyer Andrew D. Herman said
in his statement to the watchdog. The IG
“does not establish that Secretary Shulkin
received an improper gift.”
The IG report also included a statement from Victoria
Gosling – who gave Shulkin the Wimbledon tickets and
defended the then-secretary – as well as a response from
deputy secretary Thomas Bowman.
The VA did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller
News Foundation’s request for comment.

 CNN’s Chris Cuomo Squares Off
Against Corey Lewandowski Over Trump’s VA Pick
Nick Givas - Media And Politics Reporter
11:14 AM 03/29/2018
CNN’s Chris Cuomo went up against former Trump
campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on “New Day”
Thursday, to challenge President Donald Trump’s pick for
Veterans Affairs Secretary.
Trump is aiming to shake things up and buck previous
presidential trends by tapping someone with a fresh
perspective on the problem of veterans, Lewandowski said.
Trump announced Wednesday that Adm. Ronny Jackson,
who is a doctor, would be replacing Dr. David Shulkin, but
Cuomo took issue with Jackson’s lack of “management
experience.”
“I know admiral Jackson is career military
officer. He served under two presidents as
White House physician. He is a man who
understands the VA because he has used
it for his entire professional career as it
relates to health care and understands the
problems that veterans
face,” Lewandowski said. “If we want
somebody who understands the problems
that veterans face, who better than an
active duty military officer who is going to
retire and then take over this position if he’s
confirmed by the Senate, to understand the
problems that veterans face.”
“Part of the answer to that question would
be someone who’s managed something
before,” Cuomo said. “Let alone the second
biggest bureaucracy of 377,000 plus
.
99
employees and about $250 billion flowing
through it. Do you know of any
management experience of anything near
that scale that the admiral has?”
“I think if you look back and you look at the
previous VA Secretaries, those who have
supposedly had management experience
who’ve come in, we’ve seen disasters
under their regimes,” Lewandowski replied.
“If you look at the tragedies that took place
in Phoenix, Arizona, from a VA Secretary
who supposedly had management
experience. That didn’t help save the lives
for the veterans who waited for care in
Phoenix, Arizona.”
“What this president is doing is taking a
military person who understands the
problems of care as it relates to the VA,” he
added. “We can criticize the admiral if we
want to for his lack of leadership
experience. But previous leadership
experience of large agencies does not
directly correlate to getting the veterans the
care that they need.”
“That’s a fair point,” Cuomo said. “It doesn’t
mean that having management experience
is a negative. Right? Knowing what the
problem is matters. Knowing how to fix it
how to manage it has to matter, Corey, it
just does. You can’t argue that. What we’ve
seen it in past is that management
experience led to bad outcomes, so we
don’t want someone with management
experience. That’s silly.”

 Harvard Legal Icon Doubts Trump Pardon Narrative
Alan Dershowitz Says Obstruction Of Justice Cannot Apply To A President
Who Is Exercising Constitutionally Authorized Powers
by Brendan Kirby
Updated 29 Mar 2018 at 12:45 PM
Famed Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz
disputed a Democratic senator’s contention Thursday that
a reported pardon discussion involving President Donald
Trump’s lawyer amounts to “textbook” obstruction of
justice.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that John Dowd,
who was then representing the president in special counsel
Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in
the 2016 election, floated the idea of a presidential pardon
for former national security adviser Michael Flynn and
former campaign boss Paul Manafort in conversations with
their attorneys.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) reacted harshly.
“This kind of obstruction of justice is literally
happening in real time before our eyes,” he
said.
Dershowitz, an emeritus professor at Harvard Law School,
said the pardon — in and of itself — cannot be
obstruction.
“It all depends on what the conversations
was, obviously,” he said.
Dershowitz noted that Lawrence Walsh, who was the
special prosecutor investigating the Iran-Contra affair,
102
loudly objected when then-President George H.W. Bush
pardoned former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger
and five other officials.
Walsh flatly accused Bush of trying to shut down the
investigation.
“But no one suggested that the president of
the United States could commit obstruction
of justice by pardoning anybody,”
Dershowitz said. “You can’t commit a crime
by engaging in constitutionally protected
action. That seems like textbook law.”
That is not to say that anything goes related to the use of a
pardon, Dershowitz said. For instance, he added, an
explicit “quid pro quo” — an offer of a pardon in exchange
for an agreement not to cooperate with Mueller — would
be improper.
But in that case, it would be the quid pro quo — not the
pardon — that would be problematic, Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz noted that Dowd has denied the New York
Times story. Dershowitz said he finds it hard to believe
that it occurred.
“No sophisticated lawyer is gonna have
that kind of conversation,” he said.
Reacting to reports that the Office of the Inspector General
of the Justice Department is opening an investigation into
that handling of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA) process by members of Barack Obama’s
administration, Dershowitz said he opposed appointing a
second special counsel.
Except in extraordinary circumstances, he said, career
lawyers at the Justice Department should oversee
investigations.
“The difference is career officials in the
Justice Department don’t get paid to find
crimes and make cases and stretch the law
where it doesn’t exist,” he said. “Where a
special counsel, giving people targets on
their back. It’s the … Stalin approach —
 show me the man, and I’ll find you the
crime.”
Host Laura Ingraham asked whether it poses a legal
problem that Obama chief of staff Denis McDonough
reportedly was monitoring the counterintelligence
investigation involving Trump campaign advisers.
“It’s a political problem when you have the
White House being briefed about these
kinds of ongoing investigation, because
traditionally there’s been separation
between Justice and the White House,” he
said. “That separation is breached all the
time, and it was breached, certainly we
know, by the Obama White House.”
Dershowitz said he is skeptical of suggestions that a
nondisclosure agreement Trump’s lawyer negotiated with
.
103
porn star Stormy Daniels amounts to an illegal campaign
contribution. He also said it would be “absurd” and
“terrible” if Mueller were to expand his probe into the
alleged affair Trump had with Daniels.
But Dershowitz said Trump is wise to keep a low profile
publicly about the matter and avoid getting pulled into a
deposition.
“The last thing the president of the United
States should ever do is sit down and be
deposed in a he said/she said sexual
accusation situation,” he said.
Dershowitz called for an end to partisan bickering.
“I don’t like that there’s a Democratic truth
and Republican truth,” he said. “There’s
one kind of truth. And let’s get to it.”
 Morning Joe Hosts Try To Bait
Trump Into Tweeting About Stormy Daniels
By Bill D'Agostino
March 29, 2018 1:11 PM EDT
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have
long bemoaned President Trump’s frequent use of Twitter
to opine on political matters. But on Thursday, the
Morning Joe hosts seemed almost perturbed that the
President had thus far refrained from tweeting about the
Stormy Daniels scandal since her appearance on 60
Minutes.
Throughout the three-hour show, panelists described the
President as “silent,” “frozen,” and “hiding.” Brzezinski
was particularly keen to discuss the Daniels issue, even
opening the show by vowing,
“Despite that quick shift in the news cycle,
Stormy Daniels isn’t going away.”
Scarborough introduced the topic:
“I guess it’s day five, maybe even more
than that, that this Stormy Daniels news
has frozen the President of the United
States yet again.” He drew a parallel
between Trump’s aggressive posturing
104
during the Republican primaries and the
behavior of Michael Avenatti (the lawyer
representing Daniels), claiming that
Avenatti had done to Trump “what Donald
Trump was able to do to people like Marco
Rubio and Jeb Bush... and that is freeze
them, tongue tie them.”
“He has no response,” Scarborough
concluded, “and he’s hiding.” MSNBC
contributor Mike Barnicle concurred. “We
don’t pay enough attention to this,” he
claimed absurdly.
Now emboldened, Scarborough reiterated his analysis:
It really is astounding. This President has
always been a perpetual motion machine
as it pertains to tweets, press releases,
insulting statements. Whatever it took to
keep the news cycle going, he churned it
up 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
This week, since Stormy, silence.
Brzezinski echoed her co-host’s reading of the situation in
a subsequent segment.
“It’s amazing how silent the President has
been of late given the fact that he runs his
mouth on absolutely everything,” she
marveled. Later, she added, “He is so silent
right now, it’s deafening. And it’s
fascinating.”
Scarborough and Brzezinski’s portrayal of the President’s
recent public profile betrays their intentions. Their
depiction of Trump as “frozen” and “silent” would have
viewers believe that his press office and Twitter have gone
dark; yet that is far from the truth. In that week alone on
Twitter, Trump had announced a cabinet nomination,
unveiled a new memorial, proposed an alternate strategy
for securing wall funding, and declared a national holiday,
in addition to his usual stream-of-consciousness tweets.
Rather, their claim that the President was “hiding”
pertained specifically to the Stormy Daniels issue. It is
unclear whether they were hoping for a particularly
disparaging tweet that Avenatti could use to bolster his
case against the President, or if they simply craved a new
development in the saga of Stormy Daniels. Regardless,
the panelists seemed intent on baiting the President into
lashing out, hence their mocking tone.
 Judge Denies Stormy Daniels’ Request
To Depose Trump – Avenatti Explains Next Steps
Christian Datoc - Breaking News And Engagement Editor

A California judge ruled Thursday that Stormy Daniels’

POTUS.

“We told them what the law was before we

get the discovery that we’ve asked for, and
I think we’re going to get the trial we’ve
asked for.”

Avenatti further added he and Daniels don’t view the

decision as a “setback at all.”

“It’s not even a gnat,” he told Blitzer. “The

court has denied this on procedural
grounds. We know they’re going to file it,
we’re going to refile it. I’m excited about our
prospects now more than ever because of

Avenatti joined CNN’s Wolf Blitzer shortly after the

 Inspector General Targets Deep State FBI, DOJ Members
On FISA Abuse Scandal As New Information Emerges
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
March 29, 2018
There has been significant confusion about the March 28,
2018 announcement by the Department of Justice Office of
Inspector General, informing the public that a review has
been initiated into the actions of the FBI and DOJ in
regards to their Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
(FISC) applications for surveillance in regards to a "certain
U.S. person."
The announcement states the following: [see letter
following this article]
Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector
General Michael E. Horowitz announced
today that, in response to requests from the
Attorney General and Members of
Congress, the Office of the Inspector
General (OIG) will initiate a review that will
examine the Justice Department’s and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI)
compliance with legal requirements, and
with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and
procedures, in applications filed with the
U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S.
person. As part of this examination, the
OIG also will review information that was
known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time
the applications were filed from or about an
alleged FBI confidential source.
Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ’s
and FBI’s relationship and communications
with the alleged source as they relate to the
FISC applications.
If circumstances warrant, the OIG will
consider including other issues that may
arise during the course of the review.
One of the many questions I have seen, showing the
confusion, came out as FISA was trending on social media,
where a user asked "Ok, forgive me if I'm not up to speed,
but I thought the OIG had been investigating the FISA
issues for past year. So if it hasn't been FISA keeping him
busy for over a year, what else has he been investigating?"
The confusion seems to stem from the fact that the DOJ's
OIG has been conducting an investigation for more than a
year, which is believed to be concluded but the official
107
report hasn't been released to the public yet, although
much of what the Inspector General Michael Horowitz had
uncovered in the course of his investigation, has seeped
into the news, not due to leaks, but because senior level
FBI and DOJ employees have been reassigned, been
demoted, terminated and removed from Robert Mueller's
team, after the IG notified the proper officials of the
misdeeds and conflicts of interest he had uncovered.
The first investigation, which many observers are waiting
to see the finalized OIG report, had specific mandates that
are unrelated to the FISA Abuse scandal where senior level
officials in the FBI and DOJ used an unverified dossier as
a basis to request surveillance on a U.S. citizen, Carter
Page, who was once part of the Trump campaign.
Congressional investigations have found that those
FBI/DOJ officials did not inform the FISC that the dossier
was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the
DNC, as well as not informing the FISC the dossier was
largely unverified.
The original investigation, which uncovered the FISA
abuses, had nothing to do with that specific issue, but had
five specific mandates the final report is reportedly going
to address, shown following this article:
In the course of multiple congressional investigations into
Russian collusion, along with the IG's investigation into
the conduct of the FBI and DOJ in relation to the Clinton
private server/classified emails criminal investigation
(shown above as the first bullet point referencing the dates
of the three Comey statements on Hillary Clinton), other
information arose during the course of those
investigations, that have led to other areas in need of
investigating FBI/DOJ misconduct, and to compile
documentation so the DOJ has what it needs to determine
what, if any, criminal charges need to be filed about the
FISA abuses that have been revealed over the last few
months.
Simply put, in the course of the original investigation into
alleged misconduct by the FBI/DOJ in regards to the the
Clinton investigation, and former FBI deputy director
Andrew McCabe, evidence came to light showing some of
the same players being involved in FISA abuses, some of
which has been made public, but that wasn't the original
mandate of the OIG's January 12, 2017 announcement of
that review.

Now a separate OIG investigation has been initiated
specifically targeting the FISA abuses.
Many would argue that a special counsel should be
assigned to this task, but a persuasive counter-argument
highlights how much information the OIG has already
uncovered and exposed, without which the public would
not even know about the FISA abuses, the text messages
between Strzok and Page, McCabe's leaking to the press,
or the part Bruce and Nellie Ohr played in the dossier
fiasco, among other things, to make the case that the IG is
uniquely positioned to conduct this new investigation into
FISA abuses, rather than wasting tax payer money on
someone that would have to start from scratch while
building team and to catch up with information IG
Horowitz is already very familiar with.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During the course of congressional testimony, senior
officials, such as Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein, often invoked the OIG investigation as the
proper entity to conduct investigations into misconduct by
department employees. Rosenstein told Representative Jim
Jordan in December 2017 that the OIG had 500 employees
and a $100 million budget, and admitted the text messages
between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI Lawyer Lisa
Page, which showed that before the 2016 presidential
election, they were plotting an "insurance policy," (The
Trump/Russia collusion investigation), among other highly
suspicious actions, were uncovered during the course of
the IG's initial investigation which began on January 12,
2017.
With it already being public knowledge that the IG had
over 1.2 million documents that he has compiled over the
course of the original investigation, those observing and
awaiting the final OIG report can expect a number of
things once the report is released over the next few weeks.
One: Depending on the level of misconduct
detailed in the final OIG report, we should
108
be seeing more reassignments,
resignations and terminations.
Two: The DOJ will be able to move forward
on prosecuting anyone the Inspector
General has determined acted in the
criminal manner.
Three: With over 1.2 million documents,
hundreds of interviews already conducted
for the first IG investigation, many of which
already detail issues that "arose during the
course of the review," which is now subject
to its own investigation, and a huge
increase of funding for the next fiscal year
for the Office of Inspector General, this one
should take a far shorter amount of time to
complete.
Four: Look for lower level intelligence
community employees caught up in the IG
investigation to start making deals with
prosecutors, immunity for information on
higher level officials within the intelligence
community, or former members of the
Obama administration.
NEW INFORMATION COMES TO LIGHT
New information has been exposed that shows it is not just
the FBI and DOJ that were part of a interagency attempt to
sabotage a newly elected president, as more text messages
have been uncovered between Peter Strzok, who played
key roles in both the Clinton investigation and initiating
the Russia probe, and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, which shows
that there was collusion and coordination between the CIA,
FBI, the Obama White House and Democratic officials.
Newly uncovered text messages between
FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
suggest a possible coordination between
high-ranking officials at the Obama White
House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and
former Senate Democratic leadership in the
early stages of the investigation into
alleged collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia, according to GOP
congressional investigators on Wednesday.
The investigators say the information
provided to Fox News “strongly” suggests
coordination between former President
Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis
McDonough, then-Senate Democratic
Leader Harry Reid, and CIA Director John
Brennan — which they say would
“contradict” the Obama administration’s
public stance about its hand in the process.
The timing of a new report is also interesting as we see
that a Minnesota FBI agent has just been charged with
leaking classified information to a news website, The
Intercept. This is the second person charged with leaking
classified information to the same publication.
Remember, among the long list of things the DOJ has been
investigating, they previously announced they had 27
ongoing leak investigations.
LINING THE DUCKS UP IN A ROW
At this point many are frustrated at the amount of time
these investigations have taken, wondering why we haven't
seen more people criminally charged, but the sheer scale of
the Obama administration's politicization of multiple
intelligence agencies, with the sole goal of creating an
issue to undermine a newly elected president, is why the
IG has spent over a year on the initial investigation. The
twists and turns, the conspiracy, which looks to have
encompassed dozens of officials, multiple intelligence
agencies, and the former Senate minority leader, all the
way up to the White House, is the reason there are over a
million documents already compiled for just the first
investigation.
Once Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election
and all these implicated intelligence community members,
current and former, realized that everything they had done,
either with the Clinton investigation or the FISA abuses,
could be exposed, does anyone really believe that Obama,
his admin, or these deep state members, were just going to
leave everything out in the open for the Trump appointees
to find?
BOTTOM LINE
The new IG investigation announcement has caused a bit
of confusion because many of the scandals involving
Strzok, Page, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Andrew McCabe and
others, were revealed during the course of a separate and
pre-existing OIG investigation.
The fact that IG is officially focusing on the deep state
shenanigans in regards to the unverified, Kremlin sourced
Steele dossier, which was funded by Hillary Clinton and
the DNC, being used without full disclosure to the FISC,
to fraudulently obtain FISA warrants to surveil a member
of the Trump campaign, brings us one step closer to seeing
all their dirty laundry exposed to the light of day.

As The Last Refuse points out, months ago the mainstream

media were declaring this type of unprecendent targeting
of candidate from the opposing political party by a sitting
president and his intelligence community, a "conspiracy
theory," and now so much has been uncovered during the
course of a supposedly unrelated investigation that it is
now front page news.

For criminal charges to be filed, it is not good enough to

"see" the dots being connected with the publicly available
information. DOJ prosecutors, using the IG report, are
going to have to connect those dots with actionable
evidence, enough evidence to obtain a conviction in a
court of law, which is why they are carefully lining their
ducks up in a row.

 Pathetic: McCabe Launches Gofundme Seeking
$150,000 For Legal Defense, ‘Potential Lawsuits’
By Cassandra Fairbanks
March 29, 2018, 2:29 Pm
Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director
Andrew McCabe has launched a
fundraiser seeking $150,000 for his legal
defense after being fired.
McCabe’s plea appears to be highly
profitable, as he raised over $12,000 in
the first hour the GoFundMe went live.
The fundraiser for his legal defense and “any potential
lawsuits he might consider” comes as his conduct is being
probed by the Justice Department’s inspector general.
“Unfortunately, the need for a legal
defense fund is a growing reality. Media
reports indicate that at a minimum,
there are a number of congressional
inquiries that he will be required to
respond to, as well as the broader Office
of the Inspector General (OIG)
investigation that is ongoing, and any
112
potential lawsuits he might consider,”
the fundraiser page reads.
McCabe’s wife, Jill McCabe, accepted a $467,000
donation from an ally of Hillary Clinton while running for
Senate in 2015. The massive donation came from Virginia
Governor Terry McAuliffe, and was widely criticized as
improper.
“The financial and political links between
Mr. McCabe and Gov. McAuliffe raise
concerns about the appearance of
impartiality in the course of not only the
Clinton investigation, but the reported
McAuliffe investigation, and the ongoing
investigation of alleged ties between
associates of Mr. Trump and Russia,”
Senator Chuck Grassley said in a letter to
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
in January.
Mr. McCabe’s legal team is being led by former
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael R.
Bromwich at Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck,
Untereiner & Sauber LLP.
The fundraising page states that they may raise the goal
amount above the $150,000 they are currently cyber-
panhandling for.
McCabe’s net worth is reportedly in the
range of $10-11 million.
UPDATE: Within the first hour the campaign surpassed
$22,000.
 THANKS, OBAMA: Trump Gives Barry A Shoutout For
Leaving So Many Judicial Seats Open
Saagar Enjeti - White House Correspondent
3:00 PM 03/29/2018
President Donald Trump thanked his predecessor for
leaving so many federal judge slots open before leaving
office, in an Ohio speech Thursday.
“You know when I got in we had over 100
federal judges that weren’t appointed,” the
President said, querying “I don’t know why
.
113
Obama left that, it was like a big beautiful
president he left all of us. Why the hell did
he leave that?”
“Maybe he got complacent.”
“Now we have about 145 federal district
judges, we have 17 court of appeals
judges, and we have the one supreme
court justice,” Trump said, adding “We
were left a present..it was like a gift from
heaven…amazing, it was a gift, thank you
very much President Obama”
A January 2018 LA Times analysis found that Trump is
ranked 6 out of 19 in appointing the highest number of
judges in his first year in office. The analysis noted that the
President has seen success in appointing the judges
because of the Republican congressional majorities in
Congress.
SEAN HANNITY: We’re One Step Closer To Knowing
Truth About ‘Biggest Abuse Of Power’
In U.S. History (VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
March 29, 2018, 3:11 Pm
Fox News host Sean Hannity told his
viewers Wednesday night that he
believes the American people are ‘one
step closer,’ to learning the truth about
the ‘biggest abuse of power,’ in U.S.
history.
“After months of ringing the alarm about the
abuse of power within the FISA court
system, the DOJ Inspector General is
finally announcing plans to investigating
alleged foreign intelligence surveillance
abuses,” Hannity said.
“We’ve been exposing how the unverified,
Clinton-bought-and-paid-for Dossier was
used as evidence to extend a FISA warrant
on a Trump campaign associate.”
“We also showed you how circular
reporting was intentionally used by the FBI
in an attempt to strengthen their FISA
abuse case,” Hannity added.
114
“We have unearthed shocking conflicts of
interest and anti-Trump bias at the highest
levels of the FBI and the DOJ, but we are
one step closer in getting to the bottom-line
truth in what is the biggest abuse of power
in the history of this country.”
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, newly
released text messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok
and Lisa Page suggest there was coordination between the
Justice Department, FBI, CIA, DOJ, the Obama White
House and Democrat officials during the early stages of
special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
Fox News reports:
Republican investigators provided
documents to Fox News which — they say
— “strongly suggest” coordination between
former President Barack Obama’s Chief of
Staff Denis McDonough, Senate
Democratic Leader Harry Reid, and CIA
Director John Brennan —which they say
would “contradict” the Obama
administration’s public stance about its
hand in the process.
Page texted Strzok on Aug. 2, 2016,
saying:
“Make sure you can lawfully protect what
you sign. Just thinking about congress,
foia, etc. You probably know better than
me.”
A text message from Strzok to Page on Aug. 3 described
former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as being
concerned with “information control” related to the initial
investigation into the Trump campaign. According to a
report from the New York Times, Brennan was sent to
Capitol Hill around the same time to brief members of
Congress on the possibility of election interference.
Days later, on Aug. 8, 2016, Strzok texted Page:
 “Internal joint cyber cd intel piece for D, In the texts, “D” referred to FBI Director James Comey,

 'AP Fact Check': President Trump Is 'Wrong' To Imply
GOP Needs To 'Hold' Top Court
By Tim Graham
March 29, 2018 4:04 PM EDT
Our News Analysis Division has given this
fact checker a rating of:
Deeply Distorted
The first questionable habit of the liberal Fact Checkers is
to nitpick tweets, especially Trump tweets. There can be
outrageous and blatantly false statements in a tweet, but
often tweets use a political shorthand. The headline was
"AP FACT CHECK: Trump wrongly claims GOP can
hold top court".
On Twitter, they summarized in a patronizing manner:
"Trump asserts Republicans must always
hold the Supreme Court. But the court,
while shaped by political changes, is the
unelected branch of government that can't
be held by any party."
AP's Mark Sherman set up his tweet-and-response fact
check this way:
TRUMP: “THE SECOND AMENDMENT
WILL NEVER BE REPEALED! As much
as Democrats would like to see this
happen, and despite the words yesterday
of former Supreme Court Justice Stevens,
NO WAY. We need more Republicans in
2018 and must ALWAYS hold the
Supreme Court!”
THE FACTS:
116
Gun rights activists have seized on the [New York Times]
column by Stevens, who was a registered Republican but a
member of the court’s liberal wing, as proof that
Democrats are trying to undermine the Second
Amendment guaranteeing the right to bear arms.
Democratic leaders haven’t called for repealing the
amendment, which they say does not preclude reasonable
gun control measures.
The Stevens op-ed was shocking in its overt advocacy, but
Noah Rothman at Commentary notes that Democrats favor
large-scale restrictions in gun ownership:
A YouGov survey taken in late February found that 82
percent of self-identified Democrats “strongly” or
“somewhat” favor a total ban on semi-automatic firearms.
These poll respondents might not know that such a ban
would effectively outlaw most pistols and rifles in private
hands, but it’s also fair to say that a substantial number of
Democratic poll respondents don’t seem to care. A bare
minority, 44 percent, said they would support banning the
sale of handguns to anyone who wasn’t a law-enforcement
officer—essentially, the repeal of the Second Amendment
in all but name.
If Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton had tweeted "We need
more Democrats in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the
Supreme Court," AP would get "the gist" of what these
geniuses were implying and there would be no "fact
check" written. But they assume Trump isn't smarter than a
fifth-grader. It's why AP's Fact Check could be called
"Trump Check."
Sherman was right to note that
 "Until recently, party label and ideology did
not always go hand in hand," that JFK-
nominated Byron White was one of two
votes against Roe v. Wade and that
several Republican nominees from Earl
Warren to David Souter turned out to be
reliable liberals.
But Sherman admits, in the current context, that it looks
largely accurate, and not "wrong," to imply that
Republican control of Congress will yield a Republican-
friendly court:
The five more conservative justices were appointed by
Republicans, while the four more liberal justices were
Democratic nominees.
That’s why the stakes were so high after conservative
Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016.
If President Barack Obama’s nominee,
Merrick Garland, had been confirmed, it
would have flipped the ideological and
partisan majority of the court.
That is exactly the spirit of Trump's tweet:

But Trump is right that Republican-

We need more Republicans in the Senate
nominated justices have formed a majority
to confirm judges who will prevent full or
of the Supreme Court for nearly 50 years
partial repeal of the Second Amendment.
and, since Stevens’ retirement in 2010,
ideology and party have aligned.

 BREAKING: AG Sessions Refuses
To Appoint Second Special Counsel, Reveals Top
Federal Prosecutor Probing FBI/DOJ
By Joshua Caplan
March 29, 2018, 4:27 Pm
On Thursday, Attorney General Jeff
Sessions revealed the identity of a ‘top
federal prosecutor,’ investigating
alleged abuses by the Justice
Department and FBI. In addition,
Sessions said he believes a second
special counsel is not required at this
time.
The Hill reports:
118
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Thursday that a top
federal prosecutor has been examining issues within the
Department of Justice (DOJ), but has determined there is
no need to appoint a second special counsel at this time.
CNN first reported Thursday that John Huber, the federal
prosecutor in Utah, has been investigating Republicans’
allegations that the FBI abused a surveillance program
against a former Trump campaign adviser.
Huber has also been looking at whether the FBI should
have more thoroughly probed Hillary Clinton‘s ties to
Uranium One, a Russian nuclear energy agency.
Sessions made the revelation in a letter to GOP committee
chairmen Chuck Grassley(Iowa), Bob Goodlatte (Va.)
and Trey Gowdy (S.C.)
Reacting to the news, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton
called Sessions’ announcement a “major fail,” by the
Justice Department.
“Major fail from DOJ! AG Sessions writes

WHAT BIAS? Wikipedia Says Trump White House Official
Caroline Sunshine Is A Satan Worshiper
By Jim Hoft
March 29, 2018, 5:08 Pm

Caroline Mohr Sunshine is an American actress, dancer,

singer, who starred as Tinka Hessenheffer on the Disney
Channel series Shake It Up.

Earlier this week CNN announced Sunshine was joining

the White House press office as a press assistant.

But if you did a search on Caroline Sunshine’s name on

Bing you would also find she is a Satan worshiper.

This was posted on her Wikipedia page.

The comments first appeared on her

Wikipedia page.

Reader David wrote in with this:

Bing search result I received today while at
work. I saw a news article ask the question,
“who is caroline sunshine”. I saw that she
was now working for Trump, and so I
thought I’d find out who she was. On my
work PC I typed in her name into a Bing
search and among other things it stated
she was a Satan Worshiper. I couldn’t
believe this. Pretty shocking.
So, I did actual Google searches for her
name and that of the evil one’s. No viable
information was returned, so I don’t really
believe she has any affiliation with devil
worship. I then fired up my personal PC (on
company’s public wifi) and did a new Bing
search and this time the returned
information about her did not include her
being a Satan Worshiper.

I think someone on Microsoft’s Bing staff thought they’d

be funny and equate Trump with Satan.

 Sessions Names Prosecutor
To Investigate FBI Misconduct Claims
By Tyler Durden
Thu, 03/29/2018 - 19:00
Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Thursday that
John Huber - Utah's top federal prosecutor, will be paired
with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to
investigate a multitude of accusations of FBI misconduct
surrounding the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The announcement comes one day after
Inspector General Michael Horowitz
confirmed that he will be investigating
allegations of FBI FISA abuse.
Sessions' decision stops short of formally appointing a
special counsel to investigate - noting in a lengthy letter
written to Chairmen Grassley, Goodlatte and Gowdy,
Sessions that regulations recognize
"the Attorney General may conclude that
the circumstances do not justify such a
departure "from the normal process of
the department," and that he may
instead determine that other
"appropriate steps" can be taken..."
That said, Sessions says he will rely on
Huber's review to determine the need
for a special counsel.
122
"I am confident that Mr. Huber's review will
include a full, complete and objective
evaluation of these matters in a manner
that is consistent with the law and facts,"
Sessions wrote.
"I receive regular updates from Mr.
Huber and upon the conclusion of his
review, will receive his recommendations
as to whether any matters not currently
under investigation should be opened,
whether any matters currently under
investigation require further resources, or
whether any matters merit the
appointment of a special counsel."
Huber has also been looking at whether the FBI should
have more thoroughly probed Hillary Clinton’s ties to
Uranium One, a Russian nuclear energy agency. Still, it is
worth noting that it was Barack Obama who appointed
Huber to his position in 2015.
[Sessions' full letter can be seen at end of article:]
Meanwhile, IG Michael Horowitz confirmed that he will
be investigating allegations of FBI FISA abuse on
Wednesday.
“The OIG will initiate a review that will
examine the Justice Department’s and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s
compliance with legal requirements, and
with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and
procedures, in applications filed with the
U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S.
person,” the statement reads.
While the OIG's current investigation and upcoming report
- which led to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe's firing, is focused on the agency's handling of the
Clinton email investigation.
This new probe will focus on FISA
abuse and surveillance of the Trump
campaign.
On March 1, House Intelligence Committee
(HPSCI) Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA)
 wrote in a letter to Attorney General Jeff
Sessions that the FBI may have
violated criminal statutes, as well as its
own strict internal procedures by using
unverified information to obtain a
surveillance warrant on onetime Trump
campaign advisor Carter Page.
Sessions has come under increasing
pressure to appoint a special counsel to
investigate what President Trump referred
to in late February as "potentially massive
FISA abuse."

And while many have noted that Inspector General

Horowitz is significantly limited in his abilities to
investigate, with Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) noting

"the IG's office does not have authority

to compel witness interviews, including
from past employees, so its
investigation will be limited in scope in
comparison to a Special Counsel
investigation,"

Sessions' pairing of Horowitz with Huber keeps the

investigation under the DOJ's roof and out of the hands of
an independent investigator.

Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing has yet to be

seen.

 Once Again The Question Must Be Asked: Who Did Deep
State Catch AG Jeff Sessions In Bed With?
By Jim Hoft
March 29, 2018, 8:44 Pm

Considering the unbelievable actions by corrupt and criminal actions by a radical

feckless Attorney General Jeff Sessions far left administration and the DC
on Thursday we are once again posting swamp that kept it afloat.
this from October 2017.
Americans wanted this all cleaned up.
Americans want Trump to drain the
swamp.

Two of the loudest slogans that Americans bellowed at

Trump rallies last year during the run up to the election Now after nine months in office, much has been done. The
were stock market is on a record rally, the greatest stock market
rally ever. Americans are finding work. The economy is
“Drain the Swamp” – on fire and illegal immigration is way down. Fewer
Americans today are on food stamps which was Obama’s
major accomplishment. The wall is being designed and
selected.

But what has happened with the

swamp?
The answer lies with President Trump’s
Attorney General. Day after day since
he was sworn in as AG, Jeff Sessions
has failed his President and the
American people.

In July, after his son in law was brought in for questioning

related to the fake Russia collusion story about President
and Trump having ties with the Russians, the President fired
off at his AG –
“Lock Her Up” –
It’s amazing that the most important and He started by tweeting –
emotional slogans during the
campaign represented what Americans Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump
wanted from this President! The Obama campaign – “quietly working to boost
years were full of shocking, disturbing, Clinton.” So where is the investigation A.G.
132
Next the President tweeted –
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a
VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton
crimes (where are E-mails and DNC
server) & Intel leakers!
Then the President tweeted –
Problem is that the acting head of the FBI
& the person in charge of the Hillary
investigation, Andrew McCabe, got
$700,000 from H for wife!
And finally the President stood up for his son in law
tweeting –
Jared Kushner did very well yesterday in
proving he did not collude with the
Russians. Witch Hunt. Next up, 11 year old
Barron Trump!
.
133
The President was right in being upset with this Attorney
General. Sessions recused himself from any Russia related
work and then assisted in the hiring of corrupt Assistant
AG Rod Rosenstein, who was involved in the Clinton
Uranium One scandal and cover-up.
Rosenstein then created a special investigation into Trump
and Russia colluding in the election and hired his long
time friend and work colleague Robert Mueller, the former
Head of the FBI who is also involved in the Uranium One
cover-up scandal. It’s now suspected that Mueller is trying
to cover-up Deep State crimes with the Clintons.
Day after day Sessions’ Department of Justice and the FBI
prevent requests from Judicial Watch in obtaining
government information related to Obama and Clinton
scandals and crimes.
Where is Jeff Sessions?
Why doesn’t he step in and make arrests, fire employees
committing insubordination and deal with the corrupt and
criminal employees in his Justice Department?
If anyone would have said that nine
months into a Trump Presidency the
only investigation would be a Trump
Russia collusion investigation, it would
have seemed impossible.
Now it’s clear that Sessions is a bad
actor. Sessions is compromised! He’s
one of them! He’s the swamp!
Senator Sessions was either lying when
he presented himself as a Trump
supporter or he was caught doing
something he is terribly afraid may be
leaked to the public. Sessions is afraid
of being framed and outed.
Right now it just doesn’t matter, his
actions, whether due to blackmail or
not, make Sessions as bad as Holder
and Lynch, Obama’s corrupt AG’s, and
the biggest snake in the swamp!
 REPORT: Mueller Investigating Events At 2016
Republican National Convention
By Cristina Laila
March 29, 2018, 9:58 Pm
Roving Special Counsel Robert Mueller
is now investigating events that took
place during the 2016 Republican
National Convention according to
Reuters.
Mueller is investigating an event attended by then-Senator
Jeff Sessions and Russian Ambassador Kislyak.
Mueller’s team is also investigating how and why the
Republican party removed language critical of Russia from
a section of the GOP platform on Ukraine.
This is what we are paying millions of dollars for.
Via Reuters:
Investigators have asked detailed
questions about conversations that
Sessions, then a Trump campaign adviser,
had at a convention event attended by
then-Russian Ambassador to the United
States Sergei Kislyak, said the first source,
who was questioned by Mueller about the
event.
134
The same source said Mueller’s team also
has been asking whether Sessions had
private discussions with Kislyak on the
sidelines of a campaign speech Trump
gave at Washington’s Mayflower Hotel in
April 2016.
Now for the language…Mueller wants to know why
Trump’s campaign supposedly worded their language a
certain way about Ukraine and Russia:
At one committee meeting, according to
people in attendance, Diana Denman, a
member of the platform committee’s
national security subcommittee, proposed
language calling for the United States to
supply “lethal defensive weapons to
Ukraine’s armed forces and greater
coordination with NATO on defense
planning.”
But the final platform language deleted the reference to
“lethal defensive weapons,” a change that made the
platform less hostile to Russia, whose troops had invaded
the Crimean peninsula and eastern Ukraine.
After the convention, Denman told Reuters in 2016, J.D.
Gordon, a Trump foreign policy adviser, told her he was
going to speak to Trump about the language on Ukraine,
and that Trump’s campaign team played a direct role in
softening the platform language.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats paraded
out illegal aliens at the Democrat National Convention in
July of 2016, without paying any consequences.
Mueller and his team of liberal hack lawyers need to be
shut down and a special counsel should be appointed to
investigate Mueller, Hillary, Obama et al.
 STUNNING=> McCabe Lied FOUR TIMES To DOJ/FBI
— Twice To IG Horowitz UNDER OATH! (VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
March 29, 2018, 10:14 Pm
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) revealed to Fox
News host Laura Ingraham Thursday
evening that disgraced former FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
lied repeatedly to the Justice
Department.
JORDAN:
“McCabe didn’t lie just once, he lied four
times. He lied to James Comey. He lied to
the Office of Professional Responsibility

“Ex-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe
admitted Saturday he was “confused and
distracted” when he talked to investigators
about alleged misconduct during a 2016
investigation of the Trump campaign,”
reported the New York Post.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired
McCabe on the recommendation of FBI disciplinary
officials.
“Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports
concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an
unauthorized disclosure to the news media
and lacked candor − including under oath −
on multiple occasions,” Sessions said in a
statement.
According to The New York Times and Washington Post,
Inspector General Michael Horowitz is set
to accuse McCabe of not only leaking to the media, but
then misleading the Justice Department about it.
The New York Times reported:
A Justice Department review is expected
to criticize the former F.B.I. deputy director,
Andrew G. McCabe, for authorizing the

 Congressman: FBI Report Says Andrew
McCabe ‘Lied Four Times’ About Media Leaks
Chuck Ross - Reporter
11:28 PM 03/29/2018
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lied four
times, including to James Comey, about his authorization
of leaks to the media, according to a Republican lawmaker
familiar with an internal FBI report recommending
McCabe’s firing.
“He didn’t lie just once; he lied four
times,” Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan told Fox
News’ Laura Ingraham on Thursday.
“Four times he lied. He lied to James
Comey. He lied to the [FBI’s] Office of
Professional Responsibility, and he lied
twice under oath to the inspector general.”
Jordan, a Republican member of the House Judiciary
Committee, told The Daily Caller News Foundation earlier
on Thursday the Office of Professional Responsibility
report revealed McCabe not only did not tell Comey he
authorized leaks to the media, he “affirmatively denied” he
did so.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on March
16, two days before his retirement, based on a
recommendation from FBI’s Office of Professional
Responsibility. The ethics office determined McCabe gave
misleading statements about authorizations he gave to an
FBI official to speak with the media.
.
139
The DOJ’s inspector general initially interviewed McCabe
as part of an investigation into the FBI’s handling of the
Clinton e-mail probe. The 20-year bureau veteran was
removed from his deputy position in January after DOJ
Inspector General Michael Horowitz told FBI Director
Christopher Wray about troubling findings regarding
McCabe.
McCabe fired back in the wake of his ouster, claiming he
was the victim of a smear campaign President Donald
Trump orchestrated.
He also denied lying about authorizing an FBI official to
talk to a reporter from The Wall Street Journal. The
official, Lisa Page, spoke with Devlin Barrett in October
2016 about the FBI and Justice Department’s handling of
the Clinton e-mail probe. During those conversations, Page
revealed the FBI was also investigating the Clinton
Foundation.
“I did not knowingly mislead or lie to
investigators,” McCabe wrote in an op-ed
at The Washington Post on March 23.
“When asked about contacts with a
reporter that were fully within my power to
authorize as deputy director, and amid the
chaos that surrounded me, I answered
questions as completely and accurately as
I could,” he continued while also
acknowledging his answers were not
completely accurate.
“When I realized that some of my answers
were not fully accurate or may have been
misunderstood, I took the initiative to
correct them,” McCabe claimed.
On Thursday, McCabe set up a fundraising campaign to
help cover his legal expenses. He raised nearly $320,000
by Thursday night.
 It’s Official=> The US Is In A Constitutional Crisis –
Only President Trump Can Save The Nation Now!
By Jim Hoft
March 30, 2018, 7:34 Am
The US is now in a constitutional crisis.
Yesterday Attorney General Sessions
announced that he was refusing to set
up a special investigation into FBI and
DOJ wrongdoing even though the
evidence of corruption, illegalities and
cover ups of Obama and Clinton
scandals is rampant. A year ago
Sessions had no problem with the
creation of an unconstitutional
investigation into President Trump
when no crimes were committed.
Mueller’s illegal Trump-Russia investigation moves on
while investigations into obvious corruption and criminal
activities in Obama’s FBI, DOJ and State Department are
ignored. We asked in October what does the deep state
have on AG Sessions causing him to ignore the
constitution and his duty to serve the American people?
It’s now clear that Sessions must go and a new team be
brought in to clean up the FBI, DOJ and other deep state
led government departments.
How did we get here?
During the 2016 election one of the biggest chants at
Trump rallies was – Drain the swamp!
Americans were tired of the corruption
and criminal acts perpetrated by the
government under the Obama
administration but no one guessed how
corrupt it really was. The sinister Obama
administration had the audacity to spy
140
on the Trump campaign using the entire
apparatus of the US government and
then framed the incoming President
once he won.
AG Sessions allowed a special investigation into the new
President while allowing rogue actors from the Obama
Administration to lead the investigation.
Former FBI Director and Dirty Cop Robert Mueller was
selected to lead the investigation. Mueller had a history of
allowing Clinton and Obama related scandals to dissolve.
Emailgate, Fast and Furious, the Clinton Foundation,
Clinton emails, Uranium One, and the IRS scandal all
fizzled with no wrong doing identified over Mueller’s
years with the FBI. Mueller also was best friends with
disgraced and fired leaker former FBI Director James
Comey. Mueller should have never taken the job to lead
the investigation due to his numerous conflicts of interest.
We that the FBI had an investigation
into the Clintons and money they
received from Russia in return for
giving Russia 20% of all US uranium.
Prior to the Obama administration approving the very
controversial Uranium One deal in 2010, the FBI had
evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were
involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money
laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin.
The FBI approved the deal anyway. We
also know that Rosenstein and Mueller
were the ones who allowed the Uranium
One deal to go forward. This was the
real Russia collusion story involving the
US government.
Mueller brought in a team of Obama and Clinton lackeys
to form his investigativeon team who had no intention of
performing an independent and objective investigation.
The entire team is corrupt lefties who have represented the
Clinton Foundation or let Hillary go in her obvious crimes
related to her email scandal. This included the texting FBI
scoundrels Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Some suspect that
their efforts are as much to cover past wrong doings as to
frame the current President for unethical acts.
We know that Mueller’s team illegally obtained emails
related to the Trump transition team as reported in
December and these emails were protected under attorney-
client privilege. Mueller and his entire team should have
resigned after this but the investigation moves on.
Unconstitutionality of the Mueller
Investigation
Not only is the Mueller investigation
corrupt, it is unconstitutional. We learned in
January that Paul Manafort was suing
Mueller, Rosenstein and Sessions as Head
of the DOJ due to the Mueller investigation
being unconstitutional.
Gregg Jarrett at FOX News wrote when initially Mueller
brought charges against Manafort that Mueller is tasked
with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a
legal impossibility. He is being asked to do something that
is manifestly unattainable. In addition Jarrett stated-
As I pointed out in a column last May, the law (28 CFR
600) grants legal authority to appoint a special counsel to
investigate crimes. Only crimes. He has limited
jurisdiction. Yet, in his order appointing Mueller as special
counsel (Order No. 3915-2017), Rosenstein directed him
to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the
Russian government and individuals associated with the
campaign of President Donald Trump.” It fails to identify
any specific crimes, likely because none are applicable.
Manafort sued the DOJ, Mueller and Rosenstein because
what they are doing is not supported by US Law as noted
previously by Jarrett. Manafort’s case argues in paragraph
33 that the special counsel put in place by crooked
Rosenstein gave crooked and criminal Mueller powers that
are not permitted by law –
But paragraph (b)(ii) of the Appointment Order purports to
grant Mr. Mueller further authority to investigate and
prosecute “any matters that arose or may arise directly
from the investigation.” That grant of authority is not
authorized by DOJ’s special counsel regulations. It is not a
“specific factual statement of the matter to be
investigated.” Nor is it an ancillary power to address
efforts to impede or obstruct investigation under 28 C.F.R.
§ 600.4(a).
In addition to Jarrett and Manafort’s arguments above,
Robert Barnes wrote this past week at Law and Crimes
that –
Paul Manafort‘s legal team brought a motion to dismiss on
Tuesday, noting that Rosenstein could not appoint Mueller
to any investigation outside the scope of the 2016
campaign since Sessions did not recuse himself for
anything outside the campaign. I agree with this take on
Mueller’s authority. If we follow that argument that would
141
mean Sessions himself has exclusive authority to appoint a
special counsel for non-collusion charges, and Sessions
has taken no such action. Sessions himself should make
that clear to Mueller, rather than await court resolution.
Doing so would remove three of the four areas of inquiry
from Mueller’s requested interview with President Trump.
Sessions formally notifying Mueller that he does not have
authority to act outside of campaign-related cases and
cases related to obstruction of Mueller’s investigation
would be doing what the Constitution compels: enforcing
the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Additionally,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority
to act outside of campaign-related cases would be
exercising Sessions’ court-recognized Consti-
tutional obligation to “direct and supervise litigation”
conducted by the Department of Justice. Furthermore,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority
to act outside of campaign-related cases protects against
the inappropriate use of the federal grand jury that
defendant Manafort now rightly complains about.
Sessions limiting Mueller to the 2016 campaign would
also be restoring confidence in democratic institutions, and
restore public faith that democratically elected officials.
One thing to remember about Sessions’ recusal:
Sessions only recused himself from “any
existing or future investigations of any
matters related in any way to the
campaigns for President of the United
States.”
This recusal letter limits the scope of Sessions’ recusal to
the 2016 campaigns;
it does not authorize Sessions’ recusal for
anything beyond that. Constitutionally,
Sessions has a “duty to direct and
supervise litigation” conducted by the
Department of Justice. Ethically,
professionally, and legally, Sessions
cannot ignore his supervisory obligations
for cases that are not related to the
“campaigns for President.”
Not only is the Mueller investigation run
by former FBI and DOJ criminals and
bad cops but it is unconstitutional in the
way it was created and in the way it is
currently being managed outside the
scope of Sessions’ recusal while
incorporating Sessions duties as AG.
The only solution
There’s a lot of speculation from some Americans and
Trump supporters who believe that AG Sessions is behind
the scenes working on cleaning the swamp, but this is all We are currently in a constitutional
speculation. Little if any evidence supports these hopes. crisis. AG Sessions will not uphold the
law. He must be replaced with an
We must look at the facts: aggressive, competent and fair AG who
will uphold the constitution. This is
 Sessions recused himself from the Russia something we haven’t had in at least a
investigation. decade.

 Rosenstein was somehow recommended and hired as Only President Trump can save
Assistant AG. America. Only President Trump can
replace AG Sessions and now it’s time.
 With a background of multiple conflicts of interest
related to Uranium One and having signed off on at
least one FISA warrant to spy on candidate and future
President Trump, Rosenstein never should have been
appointed.

 In spite of his conflicts, Rosenstein hired Mueller to

investigate President Trump and continues in his
oversight role.

Sessions’, Rosenstein’s and

Mueller’s actions are unethical,
illegal and unconstitutional.

 Why? Mueller Now Investigating Sessions’ ‘Russia
Connections’ At 2016 GOP Convention
Posted On March 30, 2018
(National Sentinel) Goat Rope: Special counsel Robert
Mueller is now reportedly investigating any improper
contacts that Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have had
with a Russian ambassador at the Republican National
Committee convention in the summer of 2016.
Mueller reportedly wants to know what Sessions, a senior
advisor to the Trump campaign and then a sitting U.S.
senator from Alabama, and then-Russian Ambassador to
the United States Sergei Kislyak discussed at the
convention, according to sources who spoke with Reuters.
The newswire service noted further:
The same source said Mueller’s team also
has been asking whether Sessions had
private discussions with Kislyak on the
sidelines of a campaign speech Trump
gave at Washington’s Mayflower Hotel in
April 2016.
In addition, Mueller’s team is looking into why the Trump
campaign ‘softened’ GOP platform language regarding
Russia’s invasion of Crimea and involvement in Ukraine.
Reuters noted further:
143
At one committee meeting, according to
people in attendance, Diana Denman, a
member of the platform committee’s
national security subcommittee, proposed
language calling for the United States to
supply “lethal defensive weapons to
Ukraine’s armed forces and greater
coordination with NATO on defense
planning.”
But the final platform language deleted the
reference to “lethal defensive weapons,” a
change that made the platform less hostile
to Russia, whose troops had invaded the
Crimean peninsula and eastern Ukraine.
Critics noted that despite a series of media reports denoting
obvious Russia connections inherent in the Hillary Clinton
campaign, Mueller’s Democrat-aligned lawyers have thus
far refused to interview her or her campaign officials.
Also, critics note that former FBI Director James Comey
and fired Deputy Director Andrew McCabe have not been
interviewed by Mueller’s team, despite reports they may
have had a hand in creating a Russian collusion narrative
specifically to hamper the Trump campaign, though no
evidence exists.
In any event, the president’s actions towards Russia in
recent months has been anything but accommodating.
In December, Trump approved the sale of lethal weaponry
to Ukraine as it continues to battle Russian-backed
separatists — a measure the Obama administration never
took.
Also, this week the president ordered 60 Russian diplomat
spies out of the country and a Russian consulate closed in
Seattle in retribution for Moscow’s likely involvement in
an assassination attempt of a former spy and his daughter
living in England.
 Sessions Names The Top Federal Prosecutor ‘Outside The
Beltway’ Who Is Probing Obama-Era
Anti-Trump Corruption
Posted On March 30, 2018
(National Sentinel) Tone Deaf: Attorney General Jeff
Sessions said Thursday that he would not be appointing a
second special counsel to look into alleged wrongdoing
and abuses during the Obama administration.
Rather, he said, he had assigned a “top federal prosecutor”
to look into whether officials with the FBI and Justice
Department acted inappropriately or even illegally to spy
on the Trump campaign.
Sessions’ refusal comes after Republican lawmakers had
requested a second special counsel based on evidence they
turned up during the course of investigations into alleged
abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and
other misbehavior.
Fox News‘ Ed Henry reported that Sessions’ appointment
of a top prosecutor — which he revealed for the first time
.
144
Thursday as John Huber of Utah — was a “big deal”
because it signaled that he is proceeding with his own
investigation into alleged abuses.
Henry said Sessions chose Huber because he can operate
well “outside the Beltway.” He also noted that Huber will
be using “his prosecutorial powers” to conduct a wide-
ranging investigation into alleged abuses that extend well
beyond suspected FISA court improprieties.
“I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will
include a full, complete, and objective
evaluation of these matters in a manner
that is consistent with the law and the
facts,” Sessions said in a statement.
“I receive regular updates from Mr. Huber
and upon conclusion of his review, will
receive his recommendations as to whether
any matters not currently under
investigation should be opened, whether
any matters currently under investigation
require further resources, or whether any
matters merit the appointment of a Special
Counsel.”
In the past, Sessions faced criticism over his appointment
of DoJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to look into
the alleged abuses because the IG does not have
prosecutorial power. However, as Henry noted,
“Huber does.”
Sessions told Fox News‘ Shannon Bream earlier this
month that he had appointed a “senior prosecutor” but did
not name him at that time.

 Here is a statement from Ted Malloch on
his detention at Boston’s Logan
International Airport on Tuesday, March
27, 2018.
**********
On March 27, 2018 I flew on a long international flight
into Boston’s Logan International airport. I was to connect
to a domestic flight en route to my in-laws’ house, just
outside of Cleveland, Ohio for the Easter holidays.
After exiting the plane, I was escorted to a special line for
passport control. There, I was formally detained and asked
to wait, along with my wife who was traveling with me.
They would not say why, and I found it most curious as I
am a frequent flier and go back and forth to the US and
Europe and elsewhere many times a year. I never had had
such treatment.
After about twenty minutes left waiting, we were taken by
a TSA official and an FBI agent to a separate hall where
they thoroughly checked my suitcase and asked about any
electronic devices, phones or computers I had in my
possession.
This all seemed very foreboding and I
have never experienced anything like
this before, unless you include trips to
communist China or in the old world to
eastern bloc countries as a diplomat.
What’s going on, I thought?
When they found nothing suspicious and would not answer
my questions about why they were detaining me, they
separated me from my wife and told her to wait in a
lounge, without explanation, while I was to be interviewed.
That is all they said. Naturally, this left her in a state of
total confusion and near panic.
What had I done? Why Ted Malloch?
I was then escorted to another building and into a secure
conference room where two young FBI agents introduced
themselves to me.
They said I was being detained to
answer questions regarding the
Department of Justice Special Counsel
probe and showed me their
identification.
They seemed to know everything about me and had my
color photograph and personal details and said in
intimidating ways, that it was a felony to lie to the FBI. I
stated that I realized that, and I would readily, in fact
gladly, cooperate with them.
146
I did, however, find it objectionable to
treat me the way they had, as I was
entering my home country, where I am a
citizen and have served at the highest
levels of government.
They did not need to use such tactics or intimidation. I was
a US patriot and would do anything and everything to
assist the government and I had no information that I
believed was relevant.
They asked for my cell phone and any laptop (I didn’t have
a computer on me) and produced a document to seize it
and perform forensics on it. I gladly signed permission and
asked if at least I could keep my drivers license and credit
cards. They said yes and gave them back to me. One of the
agents took the phone into another room and downloaded
items but returned to say they would need to keep it and
take it to Washington, DC for a full assessment. I asked
when I could get it back. They assured me in a few days
they would definitely get it to me one way or another.
The other agent then proceeded for about an hour to
interrogate me and involved himself in various disarming
chitchat about my career, sterling academic credentials,
top-secret code word government clearances in an earlier
era, and my being a fan of the championship Philadelphia
Eagles. All well and good, I presumed. What did they
want? Why me? And why in this underhanded fashion?
What had I done?
The questions got more detailed about
my involvement in the Trump campaign
(which was informal and unpaid); whom I
communicated with; whom I knew and how
well—they had a long list of names.
They seemed to then focus more
attention on Roger Stone (whom I have
met a grand total of three times and with
groups of people); Jerome Corsi, a
journalist who edited a memoir I had
written some years ago; and about
Wikileaks, which I knew nothing.
Had I ever visited the Ecuadorian embassy in London?
they asked.
No, I replied truthfully.
I was unfazed and very dubious about why they thought I
knew anything. I couldn’t help but wonder: had they read a
copy of my soon-to-be-released book? The timing of this
interrogation along with the nearing publication date seems
to me suggest yes: they had read it.
Then they served me with a subpoena,
which I noticed had only been issued
 that very day in Boston to appear before
the Mueller grand jury in Washington,
DC that very Friday. They said I could
telephone the lead attorney on that team
and make necessary arrangements.
They shook my hand and had agents take me to my wife,
who was very alarmed and in disbelief. They then escorted
us to the adjoining terminal to catch our delayed domestic
flight.
I called the Special Counsel’s office the next morning and
they said it would be better to appear later, which we
agreed would be April 13th and they would pay for my
.
147
travel. I told them I had legal representation and asked that
they establish contact.
The Deep State is sending a signal and
has no doubt read this book.
What could they want from me—a policy
wonk and philosophical defender of
Trump?
I am not an operative, have no Russia
contacts, and—aside from appearing on
air and in print often to defend and
congratulate our President—have done
nothing wrong. What message does this
send?
 Newly-Released Documents Reveal Stunning Collusion
Between FBI, CIA, Top Dems And Obama
As Trump Probe Began
By JD Heyes
03/30/2018
In what has some lawmakers shaking their heads in
disbelief, newly uncovered texts and documents reveal
what appears to be a much deeper level of corruption
within the Obama White House regarding the investigation
into the Trump campaign than previously known.
As reported by Fox News, text messages between FBI
lovers Peter Strzok, a former top counterterrorism agent,
and lawyer Lisa Page
“suggest a possible coordination between
high-ranking officials at the Obama White
House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and
former Senate Democratic leadership in the
early stages of the investigation.”
Congressional investigators who spoke to the network say
the evidence “strongly” implies that an unprecedented
level of coordination and collusion between former
President Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, fired
FBI Director James Comey, serial Trump administration
critic and former CIA Director John Brennan, and now-
retired Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
Here are the most important findings:
— On Aug. 2, 2016, Page texted Strzok this message —
“Make sure you can lawfully protect what you sign. Just
thinking about congress, foia, etc. You probably know
better than me.” The acronym “foia” refers to Freedom
of Information Act requests.
148
— On Aug. 3, a message from Strzok to Page noted that
fired FBI Dep. Director Andrew McCabe was
concerned about “information control” regarding the
bureau’s initial probe of the Trump campaign. A report
from The New York Times said Brennan had been sent
to Capitol Hill around the same time to brief members
of Congress about possible Russian election
interference.
— On Aug. 8, Strzok texted page: “Internal joint cyber cd
intel piece for D, scenesetter for McDonough brief,
Trainor [head of FBI cyber division] directed all cyber
info be pulled. I’d let Bill and Jim hammer it out first,
though it would be best for D to have it before the Wed
WH session.”
“D” refers to ‘Director’ Comey, while the “McDonough”
reference is plain, GOP investigators told Fox News.
“We are not making conclusions. What we
are saying is that the timeline is concerning
enough to warrant the appointment of an
independent investigator to look at whether
or not the Obama White House was
involved [in the Trump-Russia
investigation],” a Republican source told
the network.
The investigators said that the FBI and CIA are supposed
to be “independent agencies” in our system, adding that
“coordination between political actors at the White House
and investigators would be inappropriate,” and thus raises
new questions about the level of involvement by Obama
and his minions.
— On Aug. 25, Brennan went to brief Reid on Capitol Hill;
it was not clear if FBI officials attended the same
briefing, a source told the network. But two days later,
Reid wrote a letter to Comey seeking an investigation
of potential collusion between Team Trump 2016 and
Moscow.
— On Aug. 29, The New York Times first reported details
about Reid’s letter to Comey.
— On Aug. 30, Strzok sent a message to Page that said,
“Here we go,” which included a link to the NYT story
 headlined, “Harry Reid Cites Evidence of Russian
Tampering in U.S. Vote and seeks FBI inquiry.”
Strzok added:
“D [Director Comey] said at am brief that
Reid called him and told him he would be
sending a letter.”
(Related: Firing James Comey is a great first step… now
it’s time to INDICT him on corruption charges.)
Congressional investigators said they believe the letter was
“cover” for the FBI and Justice Department, which had
already launched a probe into Trump-Russia ties in mid-
July, which they said was begun under “questionable
ethical and legal grounds.”

Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence
Committee, said some members of Congress were
“shocked” when they learned of these details.
“I was talking to a few members of
Congress today. And these are people who
don’t follow this closely. They’re not on the
House Intelligence Committee but they
follow it just by the news and they were
shocked,” he said adding: “As a matter of
fact they used a few expletives.”
One congressional investigator added:
“At some point, the amount of concerning
information becomes enough for a special
counsel to look into it.”

Last Monday investigative reporter Cassandra Fairbanks

at The Gateway Pundit posted our interview with Texas
businessman Ed Butowsky.

Today, on Good Friday, Kim DotCom posted another

mention of Seth Rich.
Our interview followed the news on
Tuesday that the attorneys for the Seth “His Name Was Is Seth Rich. And He Will
Rich family sued Ed Butowsky and FOX Never Be Forgotten.”
News for alleged conspiracy theories
surrounding the murder of their son
Seth Rich.

No one has ever been charged for this murder of the DNC.
The DNC staffer was murdered in Washington DC in the
summer of 2016.

Sitting down with Butowsky, we discussed Rich’s $56

hard drive, lawsuits and legal threats, why the family
doesn’t want to talk about WikiLeaks and much more.

Also last week Kim DotCom tweeted out the TGP-

Butowsky interview and included this warning for the
Deep State: Watch this in-depth interview with Ed
Butowsky about the Seth Rich case. Why do Hillary
Clinton, her lawyers and DNC invest so much energy to
cover-up the truth?

Because the fake Russia story and

Muellers deep state witch hunt of Trump
end with Seth Rich.

Gregg Jarrett: Rod Rosenstein Duped Jeff Sessions Again –
Picked Obama Holdover Huber To
Investigate DOJ (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
March 30, 2018, 6:57 Pm

On Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced
he will not appoint a second special counsel to investigate
crimes committed by Obama’s FBI and DOJ.
Instead, Sessions revealed U.S. Attorney John Huber will
be the ‘top federal prosecutor’ who will be investigating
the abuses.
why I think in the end, Gregg? It’s because
they know it’s going to run into the Mueller
investigation. That investigation has been
compromised by all the activity we have
talked about…
Gregg Jarrett:

U.S. Attorney John Huber was
appointed by Barack Obama in 2015.
FOX News legal expert Gregg Jarrett and Tom Fitton
from Judicial Watch discussed Attorney General Jeff
Sessions’s pick of Huber Friday on Lou Dobbs Tonight.
So who picked Huber? Well I have a hunch
here. First of all Sessions was a senator,
he didn’t know anybody in the Department
of Justice. Rod Rosenstein, spent a lifetime
in the Department of Justice, he knows the
players there and he picked an Obama
holdover in Huber. So it strikes me that this
is a Rod Rosenstein manipulation and
machination in which he basically duped
Sessions, who is naive and gullible enough
to say, “Let’s get Huber!” Is that about
right?

Via Lou Dobbs Tonight:

Tom Fitton:

This is classic two-step on the part of the

Justice Department leadership. I don’t think
they want to be seen as going strong
against all of these individuals. You know

Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director
Andrew McCabe launched a fundraiser
seeking $150,000 for his legal defense
after being fired earlier this month.
McCabe’s plea appears to be highly profitable, as he raised
nearly $500,000 in the first 24 hours.
McCabe’s net worth is reportedly in the range of $10-11
million.
Andrew McCabe was fired for lying at least four times and
lying under oath to Inspector General Horowitz at least
two times.

Gloria Allred Withdraws As Lawyer For Trump Accuser
By Jim Hoft
March 31, 2018, 8:32 Am
Legal bottom feeder Gloria Allred has deserted a woman
she was representing in a suit against Trump. Allred claims
it has nothing to do with the merits of the case but who
believes that? Allred only goes where the money and
media coverage takes her.
MSN reports:
Gloria Allred withdraws from Summer
Zervos’ case against Trump
Women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred has
withdrawn from representing Summer

Zervos in her defamation suit against
President Donald Trump.
“Our withdrawal has nothing to do with the
merits of her case against President
Trump,” Allred said. “We will have no
comment regarding the reasons for our
firm’s withdrawal. We continue to wish
Summer the very best in her pursuit of
justice.”
Zervos, a former contestant on NBC’s “The
Apprentice,” filed a defamation suit against
Trump in January 2017, alleging that he
defamed her after calling her a liar when
she publicly accused him of sexual
misconduct.
She will continue to be represented by New
York-based Mariann Wang, who, in a
statement, thanked Allred and her firm of
Allred Maroko and Goldberg for their work
on the case.
“We look forward to proving her claim,”
Wang said of Zervos in a statement to

If there was really anything to this, there

Trump By Smearing His 12-Year-Old Son Barron
Michael Lachance At American Lookout:
March 31, 2018, 8:58 Am
Jeb Bush has never gotten over losing
the 2016 Republican nomination to
Donald Trump. That is no excuse,
however, for attacking Trump’s 12 year
old son Barron.
All Jeb Bush has done here is prove
that Republican voters made the right
decision by passing him over.
The Washington Times reported:
Classy, dignified, substantive Jeb Bush attacks 12-year-old
Barron Trump
Jeb Bush, the man who was supposed to be the Republican
nominee for president in 2016 until his birth-right was
.
155
stolen from him by the crass, vulgar and despicable
Donald Trump, has taken his psychological obsession with
his own failure to a new low… he has attacked Trump’s
12-year-old son, Barron.
Speaking at Yale University, the former Florida Governor
first claimed he would not get into a re-hash of the 2016
election (what would he have to say about it, anyway? He
got 3 delegates after spending $150 million of other
people’s money) But, according to Yale News, he
eventually exorcised some demons by looking at the sunny
side of his crushing defeat.
At one point, Bush described the current president as
“Republican in basically name only.” And
earlier in his speech, Bush said that after
the 2016 Republican primary in South
Carolina, he returned home to children
who “actually love me.”
His comment was met with raucous laughter from the
crowd, and several audience members interviewed after
the event said they interpreted Bush’s comment as a jab at
Trump.
How pathetic. Find a new hobby, Jeb.
You clearly need something to take your
mind off of politics.

 CNN's Toobin: Accusations Against
FBI Are Mostly 'Lunatic Conspiracy Theories'
By Tom Blumer
March 31, 2018 10:09 AM EDT
On Thursday, shortly after Attorney General Jeff Sessions
announced that he would not appoint a second special
counsel, CNN's Jeffrey Toobin agreed with the decision,
claiming that
"as far as I could tell, most of the
accusations against the FBI are lunatic
conspiracy theories."
That would lead one to question why Toobin didn't
complain about having an inspector general and federal
prosecutor John Huber look into these matters. The fact is
that there is enough evidence of a conspiracy and coverup
to justify some form of inquiry — and Toobin, in his heart
of hearts, should know that.
Toobin appeared on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show yesterday
and had the following reaction to Sessions' decision:
Transcript:
WOLF BLITZER: Let's bring in our political
legal and national security experts. What
do you think? Ever a strong case for
appointing a sec special counsel?
JEFFREY TOOBIN: No, as far as I could
tell, most of the accusations against the
FBI are lunatic conspiracy theories. Just
not grounded in anything, and I think the
Attorney General did an appropriate thing
here giving this to the Inspector General,
which is why we have Inspector Generals,
but I expect there's nothing found here, and
Sessions did the right thing.
157
Even before Toobin made his disparaging statement, there
was plenty of justification for continuing investigations in
some form, given at least two things:
 The questionable use of the never-proven claims in the
Steele dossier that were used in part to obtain FISA
warrants to eavesdrop on Carter Page (and in effect
the Trump 2016 presidential campaign).
 The alleged misconduct of others involved in the
Trump-Russia investigation, starting at the top with
Former FBI Director James Comey and former
Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and at lower
level with fanatical Trump despisers Peter Strzok and
Lisa Page.
At the opening of Tucker Carlson's Thursday Fox News
show, The Washington Examiner's Bryon York explained
a new development that has nothing to do with a "nutty
conspiracy theory" and everything to do with alleged
misconduct and an attempted coverup by FBI and
Department of Justice officials. That misconduct related to
how FBI and DOJ attempted to use the affair Strzok and
Page were having to conceal potentially damaging
communications and actions relating to the Trump-Russia
investigation:
Transcript:
TUCKER CARLSON: Another set of text messages between
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page of the FBI has been released.
The texts suggest that the FBI was
directly briefing the Obama White House
in the early stages of its investigation of
the Trump campaign.
 If true, this of course would prove as
false the former president’s claim that
he was not involved in the FBI business.
Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington
Examiner and he joins us tonight. Byron, what do we learn from
these?
BYRON YORK: Well first of all, it’s not
really a new set of texts. That's one thing
we've learned, because this is not some
new batch that went over to Congress.
CARLSON: Yes.
YORK: These texts were released earlier, and they were
redacted, they were blacked out. And remember what the Justice
Department said to Congress.
They said, "Well, Strzok and Page are
having an affair. I mean, that’s private
stuff —"
CARLSON: Yes.
YORK: "— Personal stuff. So we are
going to black that out." And Congress
said "Fine."
And then they started looking at what
was sent over, and there were things
like "Meeting tomorrow in So-and-So’s
office," and the name would be blacked
out. And they thought, "Well, that
doesn’t sound like personal stuff." And
some of these names were names like
Dennis McDonough, the Chief of Staff in
the Obama White House.
So, that has made a number of members of the House,
House Judiciary Committee very suspicious of what they
are getting from Congress — from the Justice Department
— on this.
158
Now the bigger picture is, they have been trying to find out
how far knowledge of things like the Trump dossier, the
allegations in the Trump dossier,
how far did that go up the chain in the
Obama Administration? Remember, we
first thought it was just a few people at
the FBI. Then it went higher in the FBI.
Then it was the State Department. And
now it looks like the White House, too.
Not directly related to the Trump-Russia investigation, but
certainly tying into the credibility and conduct of higher-
ups in federal law enforcement, Laura Ingraham revealed
on her Thursday evening Fox News show that Andrew
McCabe's firing was based on the Inspector General's
finding that he lied four times during the investigation into
leaks to the Wall Street Journal.
Specifically, Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan
said:
He lied to James Comey. He lied to the
Office of Professional Responsibility,
and he lied twice under oath to the
Inspector General.
That finding isn't associated
with one of Jeffrey Toobin's
undescribed "nutty conspiracy
theories."
It's a finding of fact by the
designated Inspector General.
Toobin's contention, properly viewed, and regardless of the
appropriateness of Sessions' decision not to engage a
second special counsel, appears to be part of a real
conspiracy — that of the establishment press to keep the
truth from the American people.

 Internal FBI Report Shows Discrepancy Between McCabe
And Comey Statements Over Improper Media Leaks
By Cristina Laila
March 31, 2018, 1:44 Pm
An internal FBI report about former FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s firing
includes a testimony from his former
boss James Comey that shows a
“discrepancy” with McCabe’s public
statements over his contact with the
Wall Street Journal, according to a new
report by CNN.
CNN reported:
Former FBI Director James Comey told
internal investigators at the Justice
Department that he could not recall
McCabe telling him about having
authorized FBI officials to talk to a reporter
about an ongoing investigation, the sources
said.
Comey’s comments to the Justice
Department’s inspector general’s office,
which were later included as part of the
FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility
report on McCabe that prompted his firing
earlier this month, put him at odds with the
statements McCabe has made about
authorizing FBI officials to provide
information to the Wall Street Journal in an
October 2016 story about FBI and Justice
Department tensions over an ongoing
investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
McCabe has publicly maintained that he
was in a position to authorize the other FBI
159
officials speaking with the reporter and that
Comey was aware McCabe had done it.
The night McCabe was fired he said in a statement,
“It was not a secret, it took place over
several days, and others, including the
Director, were aware of the interaction with
the reporter.”
Another internal source told CNN there isn’t a discrepancy
between the two FBI officials’ statements, rather they just
recall the interaction differently.
The source said both Comey and McCabe
were acting in “good faith”.
According to CNN, Comey held a briefing on October
31st, 2016 and stressed to the bureau how damaging the
leaks are to an ongoing investigation. According to the
report, Comey recalls McCabe denied authorizing any FBI
officials to speak to the Wall Street Journal.
McCabe’s lawyer Michael Bromwich hit back hard via
CNN:
“One thing is clear: Mr. McCabe never
misled Director Comey,” Bromwich said.
“Director Comey’s memory of these
interactions was equivocal and speculative,
while Mr. McCabe’s recollection is clear,
unequivocal and supported by
documentary evidence. Director Comey
has no specific recollection of what Mr.
McCabe told him, while Mr. McCabe
remembers the two discussed the article
before and after its publication.”
As previously reported, Rep. Jim Jordan
(R-OH) revealed to Fox News host Laura
Ingraham Thursday evening that
disgraced former FBI Deputy Director
Andrew McCabe lied repeatedly to the
Justice Department.
JORDAN:
 “McCabe didn’t lie just once, he lied four
times. He lied to James Comey. He lied to
the Office of Professional Responsibility
and he lied twice under oath to the
Inspector General. Remember, this is
Andrew McCabe, Deputy Director of the
FBI. This is Andrew McCabe, the text
messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa
Page talking about Andy’s office, the
meeting where they talk about the
insurance policy in case Donald Trump is
actually President of the United States…
Four times he lied about leaking
information to the Wall Street Journal.”
James Comey is an admitted leaker. In a June Senate
testimony, former FBI Director James Comey said he gave
contents of memos he penned, stemming from nine
conversation with President Trump to a trusted friend to
pass on to the New York Times.
Four out of seven of the ‘Trump memos’ contain classified
information. Comey admitted he leaked the memos to
prompt a special counsel.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz is set to release his
much-anticipated report on the FBI’s mishandling of
Hillary Clinton’s email investigation soon.

It appears either McCabe or Comey are lying and given

their track record of being dirty cops, it’s difficult to
determine who isn’t being truthful in this recent report.

Donald Trump at Trump International in West Palm
Beach, Florida on Saturday. Trump is spending Easter
weekend at his Palm Beach residence, Mar-a-Lago.

“Word from inside @realDonaldTrump’s

golf club that @seanhannity was here

Trump arrived at his private golf club around 9 a.m and

left after seven hours there according to Bennett and a pool
report.

Excerpt from pool report:

After seven hours at his golf club (Trump
International), the president left at 3:49
p.m. and returned to his home at Mar-a-
Lago at 4 p.m.
Ride uneventful except for a few dozen
people, largely supporters greeting him at

 NBAT: “Never Bet Against Trump”
By Wayne Allyn Root
March 31, 2018, 4:46 Pm
Trump’s first year was amazing. Ask the Heritage
Foundation. They rate Trump as better than President
Ronald Reagan in his first year. Trump fulfilled more
conservative goals and objectives (by far) than Reagan.
That makes Trump the most successful conservative
president ever- after one year.
But that’s one year. President Trump has a long way to go.
That’s like being ahead 21-0 in the first quarter of a
football game. It sounds great, but I’ve lost quite a few of
those. The jury is still out on whether Trump becomes the
greatest conservative president of all time.
But year two began with a controversy. Trump signed that
$1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill last week. As I made
clear on my national TV and radio shows late last week- I
disagree, I disagree, I disagree. I was angry. I was
disgusted. I was outraged. This was my first-ever
disagreement with President Trump and I was
disappointed.
The President should have vetoed that bill 100 out of 100
times. That’s certainly what I would have done. But Trump
isn’t a traditional conservative. He isn’t a traditional
Republican. He isn’t a traditional politician. He doesn’t
play by normal rules. He plays at whole different level.
So, I learned an important lesson: NBAT:
“Never Bet Against Trump.”
Trump is amazing. I’m not angry anymore. Bill Clinton
was called the “Comeback Kid.” But this is ridiculous.
Trump made a comeback within hours. He made up for his
mistake…times ten.
165
First, I’m no longer sure it was a mistake. My DC insiders
tell me Trump pulled a fast one on Democrats. This is not
a budget, it’s an omnibus spending bill. Which means
Trump can ignore Congress’ instructions on where to
spend the money allocated. Trump can take the money and
spend it however he wants- just as Obama did. Trump can
use that precedent to ignore the bad Democrat priorities in
this omnibus bill and instead redirect the money to his
priorities- like the wall with Mexico.
My DC insiders report Trump can use his presidential
powers to declare the wall with Mexico a “national
security emergency” and redirect $25 billion of military
spending towards building the wall. And as a bonus,
there’s enough new military spending in this omnibus bill
to reinvigorate the U.S. military that Obama almost
destroyed through neglect.
But even assuming things aren’t so cheery and Trump
can’t do everything above, he still won me back within
hours. This is Trump’s genius. He distracted liberals,
critics, and the mainstream media. While they were busy
gloating over the omnibus bill, Trump was back to his real
job- relentlessly erasing Obama and fundamentally
changing America back to the country conservatives once
knew and loved.
Within hours of signing the omnibus bill, the conservative
victories piled up…
 Trump issued an Executive Order banning most
transgenders from serving in the military. Thank you,
President Trump.
 White House insiders reported Trump will soon
announce he is scrapping Obama’s rule that prevented
public schools from suspending law-breakers if they
were minorities. Now if you commit a school crime,
you’ll do the time- no matter the color of your skin. You
don’t get off easy because you’re a protected race.
Thank you, President Trump.
 White House insiders report Trump will throw out
Obama’s Iran deal on May 12th. This is the worst deal
ever negotiated in world history. Thank you, President
Trump for protecting the citizens of America and Israel.
 The Trump administration just decided to reinstate the
citizenship question into the U.S. Census. Can you
imagine, liberals think it might insult or frighten people
who’ve committed crimes, to ask them if they’ve
 committed a crime. Thank you, President Trump for
restoring sanity to America.
 Trump’s tough talk and vows to impose trade tariffs
brought China to the negotiating table. China’s premier
pledged earlier this week to make access for US
companies in China easier; to treat US and Chinese
companies equally; and to crack down on the theft of
intellectual property rights.
Trump did it again. He really is amazing. He really is
superman. He really is playing chess, while the rest of us
play checkers. Mr. President, you’re the greatest. I’m sorry
I ever doubted you!
NBAT: “Never Bet Against Trump.”

 Independence And Objectivity Are Basic Tenets Of Any
Investigation Or Audit – The Mueller Witch Hunt
Includes Neither! Shut It Down!
By Jim Hoft
April 1, 2018, 2:08 Am
Auditors, attorneys, criminal
investigators and inspectors all know
that for a case, audit or investigation to
be proper, it must be performed by
individuals who are both independent
and objective. The Mueller witch hunt
is neither and therefore flawed from the
start!
Any professional in any field related to audits or
investigations or legal cases knows that the tenets of
independence and objectivity are paramount to ensuring
that an audit, investigation or legal case is performed
properly. Some fields mandate these principals and in the
absence of independence or objectivity, those involved can
lose their licenses and/or even be jailed.
Objectivity is defined as professional or business
judgement not being swayed because of bias, conflict of
interest or the undue influence of others’.
Independence generally is defined as being made up of
two elements: ‘Independence of mind’ and ‘independence
of appearance’. The former is still defined to include
integrity, objectivity and skepticism. The latter is defined
as being free from ‘facts and circumstances’ that would
lead a reasonable and informed third party to conclude that
integrity, objectivity or skepticism was compromised.
These definitions may vary slightly by profession but they
are generally consistent. Lack of either can lead to
corporate financials being misstated, investigations being
botched and mistrials. These are serious tenets and even
167
the novice auditor knows that if there is even the slightest
appearance of a breach in either, the auditor must recuse
himself or be liable for serious legal consequences.
All professionals are aware of these
facts and all professionals know the
serious nature of when they are
infringed upon in any of the
aforementioned activities.
The Mueller witch hunt not only
lacks the appearance of
independence and objectivity
but it lacks “independence of
mind” – meaning it lacks
integrity, objectivity and
skepticism and is clearly
corrupt and compromised.
The entire Mueller team is a Who’s Who of Liberal
Activism. We reported in August 2016 that the entire team
was Trump haters. Here is a summary of some of the
known conflicts on the Mueller team –
 Robert Mueller – Special Counsel Team leader. —
Best friend to fired leaker James Comey a key
witness in the case and cohort at the FBI in
assisting Mueller to enable the Clintons to get away
with their many crimes. Also, as we uncovered in
the Podesta emails, Mueller himself hand delivered
uranium to Russians on an undisclosed airport
tarmac in Europe.
 Rod Rosenstein who is not on the Mueller team but
supposedly oversees Mueller, signed off on a
fraudulent FISA request months after President
Trump was inaugurated. He also is involved in the
Uranium One scandal.
 Rush Atkinson, an attorney on detail from the Criminal
Division’s Fraud Section at the Department of Justice
— Donated $200 to Clinton in 2016
 Peter Carr – DOJ spokesman under Barack Obama.
 Andrew Goldstein, a public corruption prosecutor on
detail from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern
District of New York — Worked under Trump-basher
 Preet Bharara in the liberal New York southern
district.
 Adam Jed, an appellate attorney on detail from DOJ’s
Civil Division. — Defended Obamacare at the DOJ.
 Peter Strzok – the lead investigator who oversaw
the corrupted Hillary Clinton email scandal. He
interviewed her, never took notes, never put her
under oath and never recorded the interview. His
text messages with Lisa Page show illegal
activities and efforts to prevent President Trump
from governing. He was removed from Mueller’s
team after the IG found a couple sinister emails and
notified Mueller.
 Lisa Page, an attorney on detail from the FBI’s Office
of the General Counsel and a former trial attorney with
the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang
Section – corrupt lover of Peter Strzok and a small
sample of their text messages before and after the
election clearly show efforts to frame President
Trump and help Hillary Clinton win the election.
 Elizabeth Prelogar, an appellate attorney on detail
from the Office of the Solicitor General. -Fluent in
Russian; former law clerk to Justices Ruth Bader
Ginsburg and Elena Kagan.
 James Quarles, a former partner at WilmerHale and a
former assistant special prosecutor for the Watergate
Special Prosecution Force. –Former assistant
special prosecutor on the Watergate Special
Prosecution Force.
 Jeannie Rhee, a former partner at WilmerHale who
has served in the Office of Legal Counsel at DOJ and
as an assistant U.S. attorney for the District of
Columbia. — Rhee is a Clinton Foundation Lawyer
and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in
the Office of Legal Counsel under Barack Obama.
 Brandon Van Grack, an attorney on detail from the
Justice Department’s National Security Division. — Led
a grand jury inquiry in Northern Virginia
scrutinizing former Trump associate Michael
Flynn’s foreign lobbying.
 Andrew Weissmann, who is on detail from the
Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and who has served
as general counsel at the FBI and as an assistant U.S.
attorney for the Eastern District of New York. —
Weissmann donated $2,300 to the Obama Victory
Fund in 2008, $2,000 to the DNC in 2006 and at
least $2,300 to the Clinton campaign in 2007.
 Aaron Zebley, a former partner at WilmerHale who
has previously served with Mueller at the FBI and has
served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern
District of Virginia. — Worked with Robert Mueller at
the WilmerHale firm.
 Aaron Zelinsky, an attorney on detail from the U.S.
Attorney’s Office in the District of Maryland. —
Worked under Assistant AG Rod Rosenstein in
Maryland.
 Zainab Ahmad, a top national security prosecutor on
detail from U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District
of New York.

As reported in October, these individuals
and the Mueller investigation are a few of
the many reasons that the FBI and DOJ
are no longer considered honest entities
but are rather groups led by corrupt and
criminal scoundrels.
They are led by the deep state!
President Trump knows that the Mueller
investigation is a farce –
Last week AG Sessions announced that he was appointing
an individual to look into the corruption in Washington.
But the individual reports to Rosenstein (who should be
investigated) and is an Obama appointee. Clearly the
AG’s action lacks independence right now in appearance.
Something that should never happen at any level in the
DOJ.
There are numerous reasons why the
Mueller investigation is a farce or fraud.
There are even more reasons why the
FBI and DOJ are corrupt. Mueller will
not recuse himself from the Trump
investigation. The entire investigation
is not even based on US law and the
Mueller team continues to break the law
by leaking information to the press
related to this fake investigation. It’s
even plausible that the entire
investigation is in place to allow Mueller
and his team the ability to destroy
information related to their past criminal
actions.
The Mueller investigation is the text
book case for an investigation with no
objectivity or independence being
present. This investigation should be
shut down and all culprits involved
should be investigated by a truly
independent and objective team of
investigators, lawyers and auditors,
brought to justice and thrown in jail.
What a mess!

Roseanne Barr is under attack for

 Mueller's Team Stuffed With
Democrats; Fact Checkers Hate The Emphasis
By Tim Graham
April 1, 2018 10:11 AM EDT
Our News Analysis Division has given this fact checker a
rating of:
Deeply Distorted
One of the tendencies of liberal “fact checkers” is to grant
that a fact they don’t like is true, but then to try to dismiss
its truth by making excuses and adding “context.” They’re
offering “alternative facts.” They’re adding spin control.
Let’s take their objections to a March 18 tweet by
President Trump:
“Why does the Mueller team have 13
hardened Democrats, some big Crooked
Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans?
Another Dem recently added…does
anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is
NO COLLUSION!”
Now see how the Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn
Kessler grants Trump his point, that Mueller’s team is
stuffed with Democrats (and Hillary donors):
Mueller is a registered Republican, as is Rosenstein, who
appointed him. Publicly available voter registration
information shows that 13 of the 17 members of Mueller’s
team have previously registered as Democrats, while four
had no affiliation or their affiliation could not be found,
The Washington Post reported.
Nine of the 17 made political donations to Democrats,
their contributions totaling more than $57,000. The
171
majority came from one person, who also contributed to
Republicans. Six donated to Clinton.
Rosenstein isn't on the "Mueller team," and Mueller -- the
"registered Republican" -- packed his team with
Democrats, which suggests the registration doesn't mean a
whole lot. If Trump had run for the Republican nomination
and packed his team with Democrats, would that mean his
team wasn't Democrats?
So the tweet is True, right? Kessler used
no "Pinocchio" rating, since he was picking
through a bunch of tweets, but the headline
was "Fact-checking Trump’s error-filled
tweetstorm about the Mueller probe."
Here's how the "fact checkers" like Kessler try to change
the subject from the relevant facts:
Federal regulations prohibit the Justice
Department from considering the political
affiliation or political contributions of career
appointees, including those appointed to
the special counsel’s office. So Mueller is
legally prohibited from considering the
political affiliations of the people he has
hired.
It’s worth noting that Trump was big donor to Democrats,
including seven times to Hillary Clinton, before he decided
to run for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump
switched his party registration at least five times; he was a
registered Democrat from 2001 to 2009.
Let's hope Kessler was smiling as he wrote this.
"Hey, Trump gave to Hillary, too!"
Who in Washington doesn't consider (or at least know) the
political affiliations of who they hire? How do you prove
someone didn't consider political affiliations? If Mueller is
the strategic genius that every liberal journalist wants you
to believe, shouldn't he have assembled a team more
bipartisan in appearance? The answer is Yes, but the "fact
checkers" here are trying to distract their readers from
those pro-Trumpish narratives. If Trump fans believe
them, they must be "fake news"?
Kessler was not alone in this tactic: granting the fact that
the Mueller team is a pile of Democrats, then trying to
make excuses. PolitiFact called this tweet "Half True" --
because there can't be "zero Republicans" on his team
because Mueller is a registered Republican. They even
172
claimed "office support personnel" might be Republicans.
Can you hear the stretch?

 Teacher Says ‘America Has
Never Been Great For Minorities’
Johnetta Benton Was Caught On Tape In A 15-Minute Rant Against
President Trump's Campaign Slogan. She Ain't Wrong.
James Joyner
Sunday, April 1, 2018
Fox News (“‘America’s Never Been
Great’: Student Records Teacher Saying
Trump ‘MAGA’ Slogan Trying to Bring
Back Segregation“):
On “Fox & Friends,” Abby Huntsman interviewed a
Georgia middle school student who captured audio of her
teacher ripping President Donald Trump and his “Make
America Great Again” slogan.
Josie Orihuela of Hampton Middle School near Atlanta
began recording on her phone when sixth-grade teacher
Johnetta Benton began reaming out the president.
“When my president says let’s Make
America Great Again, when was he talking
about?” Benton is heard asking, and later
adding that Trump must mean when
“[America] was great for Europeans.”
“Because,” Benton continues, “when it
comes to minorities, America has never
been great for minorities.”
Huntsman said the incident happened at the same high
school where another teacher requested students write
letters to their lawmakers demanding gun control.
Orihuela said Benton made the comments as she was
introducing a video to celebrate Black History Month.
“It kept getting worse and worse,” she said.
173
Though not captured on the audio played by Huntsman,
Orihuela said that at one point, Benton surmised aloud that
“Make America Great Again” could be a
precursor to “trying to bring back
segregation.”
In 1954, the Supreme Court – led by Chief Justice Earl
Warren – outlawed school segregation in Brown v. Board
of Education of Topeka.
Orihuela said she showed her mother the tape, and that
they both were shocked by Benton’s words.
Henry County School District spokesperson J.D. Hardin
later called the incident “extremely unfortunate” and said
that the “matter was addressed” after the tape went public.
While the Fox report is somewhat sensationalistic, the
basic reporting comports with what I’m seeing elsewhere.
On the substance, it’s hard to argue with Benton. Slavery
came to America before the Pilgrims and remained in
effect through 1865. Jim Crow replaced it for another
hundred years and, while we’ve certainly made great
strides over the last half century or so, it’s hard to find a
category where blacks are faring as well as whites.
On style, however, Benton was clearly in the wrong. First,
the rant is seldom an effective educational technique,
especially at the 6th grade level. A dialogue with the
students starting with “When was America great?” and
introducing questions about race would have gotten the
students to reach the same conclusions for themselves in a
much more effective manner. Second, as a school
spokesman correctly noted,
“This unfortunate incident affords us to
opportunity to remind our educators of the
importance of keeping any potential
political bias out of lessons for students of
any age.”
It’s simply not the place of elementary schoolteachers to
bring their politics to the classroom. Again, I think it’s
perfectly appropriate—especially in a lesson about Black
History Month (apparently, this incident happened several
weeks ago)—to question the slogan and policy proposals.
It’s quite another to rant about a political figure.
A right-leaning site called IJR, whose veracity I don’t have
any insights into, adds another component to the story
(“Sixth-Grade Teacher Told Students They’re All
Illegal Immigrants in Anti-Trump Rant“):
The conversation then turned to illegal
immigration, at which point another
teacher, Mr. Stroud, entered the classroom
and said, “All of us here are all illegal
immigrants.”
“Because America belonged to somebody
else,” Benton added as a reference to
Native Americans.
The teacher contended that aside from African-Americans
and Native Americans, who came here as slaves against
their will, everyone is “illegal immigrants” and pointed to
all the white students.
174
“So every person in here — unless you’re a
Native American, and I sure don’t see any
in here, I could be wrong — we’re all
immigrants,” she said. “So when you say
immigrants are killing folks, that’s us. That’s
you, you, you, you and you.”
The only other sites reporting that exchange are of the
message board variety. If, indeed, it happened Stroud is
simply wrong on the facts. First, it’s dubious to call the
initial wave of white settlers to North America “illegal
immigrants” given that the continent’s aboriginal peoples
didn’t have any concept of immigration law. Second, even
if we’re going to grant that premise for the sake of
argument, the overwhelming number of immigrants came
after the establishment of the United States and in accord
with our immigration laws—which until the 1920s was
incredibly permissive.* Third, it’s quite likely that all of
the white students in that classroom were born here and
therefore not immigrants, legal or otherwise. at all.
*The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Alien Contract
Labor laws of 1885 and 1887, the first attempts to curtail
immigration, weren’t targeted at whites. Certainly, Irish
and later Italian immigrants faced rampant bigotry; but
we didn’t start limiting white immigration through
legislation until 1924.
 Pres. Trump Warns Mexico Over
Allowing Illegal Migrant Caravan, Drugs Targeting US
By Kristinn Taylor
April 1, 2018, 10:53 Am

President Donald Trump fired off a series of tweets

Sunday morning warning Mexico about letting illegal
aliens and drugs flow through Mexico to the United States.
Trump singled out the caravan of illegal migrants from
Central America marching through to the U.S. with the
permission of the Mexican government. Trump threatened
Mexico over NAFTA and DACA if nothing is done.

Trump posted three tweets on the out of control border:

“Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to

properly do their job at the Border because
of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like
Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous.
“Caravans” coming. Republicans must go
to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws
NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!”
“Mexico is doing very little, if not
NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing
into Mexico through their Southern Border,
and then into the U.S. They laugh at our
dumb immigration laws. They must stop the
big drug and people flows, or I will stop
their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!”
“These big flows of people are all trying to

Trump also called on the Republican controlled Senate to

end the filibuster to pass tough laws securing the border.

checkpoint from Guatemala:

It is not clear if anything can be done to stop the illegal

brought to bear on Mexico, as Trump is doing now.

 AP: Dem '#Metoo' House Member Who Paid Off
Harassing, Violent Chief Of Staff Is In 'Awkward Position'
By Tom Blumer
April 1, 2018 12:04 PM EDT
A Democratic House member has, by her own admission,
failed to protect female staff members who said they were
harassed and treated violently by her former chief of staff.
Rep. Elizabeth Esty has also admitted that she gave the
chief of staff a $5,000 payoff when he left, along with a
favorable job recommendation.
In her Friday evening report on the situation, the
Associated Press's Susan Haigh played defense — for
Esty, describing her as "an outspoken advocate for the
#MeToo movement" who is now in an "awkward
position." Haigh also tried to help her salvage her political
career by describing her outreach to groups involved
with "issues affecting women" when she knew the news
was about to go public.
Key paragraphs from Haigh's dispatch:
Congresswoman, outspoken MeToo
advocate, says she won’t quit
U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, an outspoken
advocate for the #MeToo movement,
has found herself in the awkward
position of apologizing for not protecting
female staffers in her Washington office
who say they experienced violence,
death threats and sexual harassment by
her former chief of staff.
She dismissed calls Friday to step down.
The Democrat has issued press
releases calling for tougher harassment
protections for congressional staff and
was among those demanding that then-
U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan resign
amid allegations of misconduct with staff.
She issued her own public mea culpa
Thursday following newspaper reports she
did not suspend or fire the chief of staff
.
178
until three months after learning about
allegations against him in 2016.
Esty said she regrets not moving along an internal
investigation into the allegations, which revealed more
widespread alleged abuse, and regrets providing “even the
slightest assistance to this individual as he sought a new
job.”
In advance of the news stories published by Hearst
Connecticut Media and the Washington Post,
Esty made it a point to call or meet with
representatives of at least three
grassroots Connecticut groups that
have been allies of hers on issues
affecting women.
... In an editorial calling on Esty to resign,
the Hartford Courant said Esty’s
answers so far have been disappointing,
saying “she has blamed the system and
hasn’t taken nearly enough
responsibility for her own actions.” The
Courant added that “time was up for John
Conyers and now time is up for Elizabeth
Esty."
A Danbury, Connecticut News Times editorial did not
call for Esty's resignation, and couldn't resist criticizing
Republicans among them who are demanding it. The
editorial's headline also seemed to treat Esty as a victim:
Editorial: Congresswoman caught in
#metoo wave
While Esty has shown uncharacteristically poor judgment
in the handling of misconduct allegations in her office,
it is disingenuous for Republicans, such
as National Republican Congressional
Committee spokesman Chris Martin, to
demand her resignation as they remain
silent on the many transgressions of the
man elected to lead the country.
This led one of the paper's commenters to this response:
Esty showed poor judgment, Esty paid hush money, Esty
recommended him for another "cush" job, BUT TRUMP.

 Deroy Murdock On FOX Business Credits Gatewaypundit
Analysis On Hillary – She Lost In Part Because
Trump Outworked Her
By Jim Hoft
April 1, 2018, 6:48 Pm
Deroy Murdock was on FOX Business
this past week and he cited TGP
analysis to explain why Hillary lost the
election. Simply put, Hillary lost the
election because she couldn’t fill up a
high school gym while President Trump
was setting attendance records at
arenas around the US.
Deroy Murdock cited TGP work before the 2016 election
where we noted that President Trump was outworking
Hillary. The President to be also had a level of excitement
that the Hillary team did not have. It was difficult to attain
accurate numbers but our end result showed that President
Trump was way outpacing Hillary in attendance at rallies
and on social media.
Deroy stated on FOX Business with Charles Payne –
The reason that Hillary Clinton lost was
because she was lazy. Just to give you
some numbers from TGP, Jim [Joe] Hoft
ran these figures.
Donald Trump did 132 rallies. Hillary Clinton did 63, less
than half. Donald Trump took 23 days off when he had no
rallies. Hillary took 57. There are 99 days between
August 1 and election day, she took 57 days which means
57 days off when she was not doing rallies. He outworked

her. He showed up in Wisconsin and she didn’t. She
barely went to Michigan. He was in Michigan numerous
times. If she really wanted to be President she should have
worked harder.
On November 4th, 2016 we posted our
prediction on the election result. Our
analysis showed that excitement was in
the future President’s favor. We picked
a Trump win in part because “Rallies
Show Massive Excitement for Trump
and None for Hillary” –
We noted –
We have kept track of the number of participants at both
Trump and Hillary rallies since the conventions in July.
Since August 1stTrump has crushed Hillary in these events.
Trump rallies have accumulated more than 710,000 in
August through October while Hillary’s only at 60,000.
These numbers are so huge they cannot be ignored!
(Note that we updated these numbers after the election
which were used by Murdock in the segment on FOX
Business.)
Social Media
Social media numbers for Trump heavily outpace Clinton.

 Retiring Gowdy Says
Lawmakers ‘Leak Like The Gossip Girls’
GOP Congressman Charged That Committees Aren't Objective Because They 'Go In
Search Of Evidence To Validate [Their] Previously Held Conviction'
By Kathryn Blackhurst
Updated 02 Apr 2018 At 6:19 AM

Although he said he was “glad we have

Bob Mueller” and glad “we have an
independent ball and strike caller”
investigating the collusion allegations, he
said Congress “has proven itself incapable
of conducting serious investigations”
because of its members’ various biases —
including members of his own committee.

Washington lawmakers too often “leak like the Gossip

running for re-election in 2018 because he intended to
“previously held conviction,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.)
instead pursue a legal career.
said Sunday on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“[Congressional investigators] are just not

serious. Serious investigations don’t leak,”
Gowdy said. “Serious investigations don’t
make up their mind first and then go in
search of the evidence to validate your
previously held conviction.”

He added,

“Congressional investigations leak like the

‘Gossip Girls.’ I mean, they’re terrible, and I
would be telling you that if I were staying in
Congress.” He was referring to the
television show “Gossip Girl,” a high school
drama centered upon an eponymous
gossip blog, when he ripped his peers.
Gowdy is not seeking a fifth term in Congress in
November, and is planning instead to return to the practice
of law in his home state.
Congressional probes and special counsel Robert
Mueller’s investigation into allegations of collusion
between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and
Russia have suffered from a flood of leaked details.
The chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform, Gowdy said lawmakers participating
in congressional investigations are “terrible” and “just not
serious” about the work they perform.
Lawmakers' investigations into allegations of Trump-
Russia collusion have been politicized heavily. Although
GOP members of the House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence said they found no evidence of Trump-
Russia collusion in a March report, Democratic members
like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) accused their Republican
colleagues of writing a "fundamentally incomplete" report
inherently biased in Trump's favor.
"I think Adam Schiff in March of 2017 said
he had evidence more than circumstantial
but not direct," Gowdy said. "And oh, by the
way, there is no body of evidence that's
more than circumstantial but not direct, but
he said he had it of collusion and we've
been waiting for ... over a year now for him
to actually produce that, that evidence."
"That is not serious," Gowdy continued.
"And I'm hoping that either the Senate
investigation or Mueller will be more
objective."

 Roseanne Was Right – President Trump
Is On Track To Increase Human Trafficking Arrests
500% In 2018 Over 2016

Roseanne Barr was under attack this

weekend for supporting President
Trump’s efforts to end human
trafficking. CNN and other MSM media
outlets claimed Barr’s tweet supporting
the President’s efforts relied on a
conspiracy theory while dismissing
President Trump’s efforts.

Roseanne was right. Our analysis shows
that arrests for human trafficking were up
150% in 2017 and are on track to be up
nearly 500% in 2018 over 2016 numbers.
Roseanne Barr tweeted on Saturday –
President Trump has freed so many
children held in bondage to pimps all over
this world. Hundreds each month. He has
broken up trafficking rings in high places
everywhere. notice that. I disagree on
some things, but give him benefit of doubt-

March 31, 2018
CNN claimed that Barr was tweeting a
conspiracy theory – but was she?
Our analysis shows that Roseanne was right.
A link to an inventory of human
trafficking arrests since President
Trump was elected was tweeted over
the weekend. The inventory was
maintained on 8ch.net and includes

The list shows that in 2017 there were
2,975 arrests related to human
trafficking in the US. Year-to-date as of
March 31st, there were 2,358 arrests in
the US. There are more than 5,000
arrests (5,333) since January of 2017.
ICE reports that they made 1,952 arrests
in 2016 related to human trafficking.
This means that arrests were
up more than 150% in 2017 and
at the current pace, the number
of arrests in 2018 will be nearly
500% of those in 2016. (Note
that these lists are not final but
do provide a solid picture of
what the President is doing to
stop human trafficking in the
US.)
Clearly it is no conspiracy theory to
state that President Trump is making it a
priority to stop the horrible practice of
human trafficking. Roseanne was right.
The President’s actions in 2018 are on
track to be nearly 500% of the number of
arrests made in 2016.
 Congressional Documents Reveal 44 Democrats Waived
Background Checks For Pakistani IT Staffers
By Cristina Laila
April 2, 2018, 10:03 Am
According to Congressional documents,
all 44 House Democrats who hired
Pakistani IT staffer Imran Awan and his
family members, chose to waive them
from background checks.
Former DNC Chairwoman, Rep Debbie Wasserman
Schultz (D-FL) led the way with her peculiar relationship
with Imran Awan.
Wasserman Schultz kept Imran Awan on payroll even after
he had been barred from the House computer networks.
Via The Daily Caller:
Every one of the 44 House Democrats who
hired Pakistan-born IT aides who later
allegedly made “unauthorized access” to
congressional data appears to have
chosen to exempt them from background
checks, according to congressional
documents.
All of them appear to have waived
background checks on Imran Awan and his
family members, even though the family of
server administrators could collectively
read all the emails and files of 1 in 5 House
Democrats, and despite background
checks being recommended for such
positions, according to an inspector
general’s report. The House security policy
requires offices to fill out a form attesting
that they’ve initiated background checks,
but it also includes a loophole allowing
them to simply say that another member
vouched for them.
189
Imran Awan worked for Debbie
Wasserman Schultz for thirteen years
since she came into office in 2004 as a
Florida representative. She only fired
him in August of 2017 and would have
kept paying her “IT expert” even when
he was living in Pakistan.
Three Pakistani brothers who managed the IT affairs for
several Democratic government officials were relieved of
their duties last February on suspicion that they accessed
specific computer networks without permission, also
known as hacking.
Imran Awan, who started working for Wasserman
Schultz in 2005, received $164,600 in 2016, with close to
$20,000 of that coming from Wasserman Schultz.
His brother Jamal, who started working as a staffer in
2014, was paid $157,350.12 in 2016. Abid, who started
working in 2005, was paid $160,943 in 2016.
Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi, who was employed as a staffer
since February 2007, was paid 168,300 in 2016. Rao
Abbas was paid $85,049 in 2016.
Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were
barred from computer networks at the
House of Representatives in February.
There has been virtually a media blackout of one of the
biggest Democrat scandals to date.
A House official previously told Circa
News that Imran Awan may have sold
the terabits of information he uploaded
to DropBox. Everyone is talking about
Russia but Imran Awan could have been
the one to have sold the DNC emails.
The DNC refuses to hand over their
servers to be investigated. If they really
were the victim of a ‘hack’ like they
claim, they wouldn’t be protecting their
servers from authorities.

All of them appear to have waived background checks on
Imran Awan and his family members, even though the
family of server administrators could collectively read all
the emails and files of 1 in 5 House Democrats, and
despite background checks being recommended for such
positions, according to an inspector general’s report. The
House security policy requires offices to fill out a form
attesting that they’ve initiated background checks, but it
also includes a loophole allowing them to simply say that
another member vouched for them.
Among the red flags in Abid’s background were a $1.1
million bankruptcy; six lawsuits against him or a company
he owned; and at least three misdemeanor convictions
including for DUI and driving on a suspended license,
according to Virginia court records. Public court records
show that Imran and Abid operated a car dealership
referred to as CIA that took $100,000 from an Iraqi
government official who is a fugitive from U.S.
authorities. Numerous members of the family were tied to
cryptic LLCs such as New Dawn 2001, operated out of
Imran’s residence, Virginia corporation records show.
Imran was the subject of repeated calls to police
by multiple women and had multiple misdemeanor
convictions for driving offenses, according to court
records.
If a screening had caught those, what officials say
happened next might have been averted. The House
inspector general reported on Sept. 20, 2016, that shortly
before the election members of the group were logging
into servers of members they didn’t work for, logging in
using congressmen’s personal usernames, uploading data
off the House network, and behaving in ways that
suggested “nefarious purposes” and that “steps are being
taken to conceal their activity.”
A pair of closely-held reports on Imran Awan, his brothers
Abid and Jamal, his wife Hina Alvi, and his friend Rao
Abbas, said, “the shared employees have not been vetted
(e.g. background check).”
“Shared employees” means they were all hired as part-
time, individual employees by individual members,
cobbling together $165,000 salaries. Jamal began making
that salary at only 20 years old, according to House payroll
records; Abid never went to college, his stepmother said;
and Rao Abbas’ most recent job experience was
being fired from McDonald’s, according to his roommate.
(“Whether they had formal training or not, they were
trained on the job by Imran,” one of Imran’s lawyers said.)
Among the 44 employers, the primary advocate for the
suspects has been Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of
Florida, who introduced a bill Monday that would require
background checks on Americans purchasing ammunition.
“Without bullets a gun is just a hunk of useless metal,” she
said, calling ammunition the “loophole” in gun control
policy.
Wasserman Schultz was also chair of the Democratic
National Committee when Wikileaks published its emails.
(The Wikileaks emails show that DNC aides called Imran
when they needed the password to her device.) Since then,
she and other Democrats have described cyber breaches in
the strongest possible terms, such as “an act of war” and
“an assault on our democracy.”
But there is no indication Democrats put those concerns
into practice when they entrusted the Pakistani dual
citizens with their data, nor when suspicious activity was
detected. Police banned the suspects from the network
after the IG report, but Wasserman Schultz kept Imran on
staff anyway. He was in the building and in possession of a

according to an April 6, 2017 police report.
The House security policy, HISPOL16, says “House
Offices shall… Ensure background checks, as defined in
this policy, have been conducted on Privileged Users.” It
includes quarterly reviews of privileged accounts’
appropriateness. By the time the policy was enacted, some
members had dropped the Awans for assorted reasons,
including Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona in early 2015 for
what her spokesperson called “incompetence.”
The $1.1 million bankruptcy in itself would be enough to
stop many employers from giving access to sensitive data.
“Excessive indebtedness increases the
temptation to commit unethical or illegal
acts in order to obtain funds to pay off the
debts,” so “financial problems are the
number one killer of security clearances,”
according to ClearanceJobs.com.
For each server administrator, an “Authorizing Official”
from the member’s office must fill out a form on which the
office attests:
“I have assessed the risk of the prospective
Privileged Account holder via background
check processes outlined in HISPOL 16.”
However, there is an alternative:
“I have verified that a trustworthiness
determination has been made on behalf of
this shared resource by another Member.”
directly specify that vouching for an employee requires
that the earlier member provided a background check.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to all 44
members, and none disputed that they had not conducted a
background check. Not a single one of the 44 would say
which of their colleagues vouched for the Awans, nor
stated what criteria they used to determine that it was
prudent to give them access to all their data.
Besides Wasserman Schultz, Imran has longstanding
personal relationships with Reps. Gregory Meeks and
Marcia Fudge of New York, Politico reported. Employers
also include Rep. Ted Lieu of California on the Foreign
Affairs Committee and three members of the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: Reps. Andre
Carson of Indiana, Jackie Speier of California and Joaquin
Castro of Texas.
The HISPOL16 policy was created in September 2015 and
says “As privileged accounts have a greater potential
impact on information and information systems than
general user accounts, organizations must promote
trustworthiness of users of privileged accounts.
Authorization officials must check the backgrounds of
users of privileged accounts for elements that might make
trustworthiness of a user questionable… The Office of the
CISO suggests that Hiring Officers and their designees use
the rigorous criminal history records search services
provided by the United States Capitol Police.”
The policy focuses on and encourages members to use the
Capitol Police’s background check service, but it says
private background check companies can also be used. The
IG report does not specify whether it made the
determination that the Awans had not received background
checks by looking at the forms or by consulting with the
Capitol Police, but it says that they “have not been vetted.”
The Shared Employee Handbook, published in 2009, says
193
“Due to the sensitive nature of the
information to which Shared Employees
may be exposed during day-to-day job
functions, it is recommended that Member
and Committee offices request a Capitol
Police Criminal History Records Check on
potential Shared Employees.”
Eric McCracken, a spokesman for the Committee on
House Administration, would not say why the screening
policy provided the option B loophole that allowed another
member to vouch for the aides in lieu of a background
check. Despite the IG report addressing it, Gregg Harper,
the Mississippi Republican who controls the committee,
told The Daily Caller in 2017 that he did not know
whether the Awans had background checks.
The Awans’ employers also included Rep. Yvette Clarke
of New York, who saw $120,000 in computer equipment
disappear under Abid Awan’s watch but “wrote off” the
taxpayer funds rather than make an issue of it, according to
the IG report and multiple senior government officials.
Xavier Becerra, now attorney general of California, ran the
House Democratic Caucus, and his server was physically
stolen shortly after the IG report named it as evidence in a
hacking probe, three senior government officials said. A
list of the members who did not conduct background
checks is below.

 Nets Freak At Trump’s ‘Twitter Tirade’:
‘Closing The Door’ On ‘Future Of Dreamers’
By Scott Whitlock
April 2, 2018 12:56 PM EDT
All three networks on Monday bashed Donald Trump’s
“twitter tirade” on Easter, lamenting that it “closes the
door” on “unauthorized immigrants” in America. An
irritated Jon Karl complained on Good Morning America
about the President’s tweets:
“He's still at it. Continuing an Easter tirade,
he attacked both Democrats, Mexico, and
the DACA deal as the President is
declaring there will be no deal to protect
the Dreamers.”
The ABC graphic screamed:
“Trump’s Easter Twitter Tirade:
President Declares ‘No More DACA
Deal.’” CBS This Morning’s John Dickerson
opened the program by sympathizing with
those in the country illegally:
“President Trump closes the door on
Dreamers, saying he's done with the
DACA program for young,
undocumented immigrants.”
202
Later, reporter Chip Reid described DACA as protecting
“unauthorized immigrants.” Unauthorized or illegal? For a
response to the President’s tweets, Reid went to liberal
Republican John Kasich:
Democrats rejected the charge and Ohio
Republican Governor John Kasich hit back
at the President saying, "A true president
office and preserves hope, doesn't hope
away from innocent children who call
America home."
On NBC’s Today, Peter Alexander portrayed himself as
the keeper of Easter decorum:
“That Easter spirit — at times — giving
way for the President to vent his
frustrations and some misinformation about
his hard-line positions on immigration.”
He added that Trump paused
“to pour fuel on a less than festive topic,
immigration.”
Sounding like CBS, Alexander fretted:
“For Dreamers, their future still up in the air
at the center of a fierce political fight. The
President’s comments punctuating a series
of combative tweets arguing the situation at
the border.”

JOHN DICKERSON: Welcome to CBS This Morning. President
Trump closes the door on Dreamers, saying he's done with the
DACA program for young, undocumented immigrants.
...
7:03:47 to 7:06:06
CBS Graphic: “No More DACA Deal!” President Threatens
Future of Dreamers and NAFTA
DICKERSON: The so-called Dreamers face new uncertainty after
President Trump promised no more immigration talks with
Congress. The President also threatened to end NAFTA the
North American Free Trade Agreement if Mexico does not take
action to stop illegal immigration.
GAYLE KING: In a series of Easter morning tweets, the
President called on Republicans to use the, quote, “nuclear
option to pass tough laws now. No more DACA deal.” And he
claimed more immigrants are coming to take advantage of the
program that protects young people brought to the U.S. illegally
by their parents.
BIANNA GOLODRYGA: Federal judges have temporarily
blocked the President's attempt to end DACA. Chip Reid is at the
White House with the impact of his latest statements. Chip, good

CHIP REID: Well, good morning. President Trump ended the
DACA program last year, but he gave Congress six months to
come up with a new deal. Now after months of failed
negotiations, he says Democrats blew it.

DONALD TRUMP: Mexico has got to help us at the border. If
they're not going to help us at the border, it's a very sad thing
between two countries.
CHIP REID: On his way into service on Easter Sunday morning,
the president lashed out at Mexico for not doing enough to stop
the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.
TRUMP: They flow right from Mexico and send them in to the
united States. That can't happen that way anymore.
REID: On Twitter, he threatened to terminate NAFTA if the
Mexican government doesn’t act.
“They must stop the big drug and people
flows,” he wrote, “or I will stop their cash
cow, NAFTA.
TRUMP: A lot of people are coming in because they want to take
advantage of DACA.
REID: But DACA, which protects unauthorized immigrants
brought to the U.S. as children, applies only to those already
living in the U.S. After his tweet that the deal was no more, the
President claimed Democrats missed an opportunity to work with
him to extend those protections.
TRUMP: They had a great chance. The Democrats blew it.
REID: Democrats rejected the charge and Ohio Republican
Governor John Kasich hit back at the President saying, “A true
president office and preserves hope, doesn't hope away from
innocent children who call America home.” The President is
already tweeting about immigration this morning but he still has
not clarified whether his threat on DACA means it completely off
the table and his threat to kill NAFTAcould come up later today
when he meets with Larry Kudlow, his new director of the
National Economic Council.
 CNN Panelists Dismiss Privatization As Silliness,
Refer To Trump As 'Unhinged' And 'Unpresidential'
By Ryan Foley
April 2, 2018 1:30 PM EDT
During Monday's edition of New Day, two guests took
turns ripping the Trump Administration. Legal analyst
Jeffrey Toobin referred to the Trump Administration's idea
to privatize the VA as "silliness" while Brian Karem
referred to the President as "unhinged" and
"unpresidential." Guest co-host John Avlon briefly joined
the anti-Trump crusade, describing the idea of the
President taking action based on "things he sees on TV" as
"objectively troubling."
While discussing the recent ouster of VA Secretary David
Shulkin, Toobin explained that the administration supports
for-profit charter schools, relying on private companies for
infrastructure and privatizing the VA, which former
Secretary Shulkin opposed. According to Toobin,
“There’s a lot of silliness here. But it’s also
about actual government and how it works
or does not work.”
His fellow panelist Brian Karem jumped in:
“it doesn’t work. And the idea is they’re
trying to solve a problem by throwing it into
the private sector with things that have
been traditionally been what we consider,
you know, public sector.” Karem warned
that the push for privatization “has an
inherent risk and it can be very dangerous.”
Maybe these panelists resent any plan that doesn’t try to
solve a societal problem by throwing money at it and
hoping for a better result.
Guest co-host Avlon, one of two men filling in for Chris
Cuomo, introduced the standard left-wing talking point
204
against Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s choice to replace
Shulkin as VA Secretary, saying that the choice to put the
White House Physician in that post shows that the
President is increasingly “valuing personal chemistry over
competence”; warning “that’s bad news for the
government" and "bad news for the American people."
Karem echoed Avlon’s concern:
“And if it is a personal whim and it boils
down to personality instead of reality and
education and facts, that’s where the
problem is and that’s what this
administration is running on. Seat of the
pants, anything that the President tweets,
anything that he wants, and join him or die.
And...that’s (an) inherently dangerous way
to run a Federal government.”
Karem, it should be pointed out, is the same journalist who
claimed that Trump believes “every immigrant in this
country” is “a killer.”
The conversation then turned to a Washington Post article
which talked about how
“this is now a president a little bit alone,
isolated and without any moderating
influences – and, if anything, a president
who is being encouraged and goaded on
by people around him. It really is a
president unhinged.”
Karem agreed with the Washington Post’s
characterization of the Trump White House
as “unhinged”, adding that the “23 sources”
that the Post relied on for its hit piece have
seen “that man act in a very unpresidential
manner on a number of occasions.”
More than a year into the Trump Presidency, the media’s
playbook has changed very little. They repeatedly paint the
President as unfit for office, hoping that the public and
liberals in Congress will take notice and look into using
the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. While
they occasionally focus on the substance of his
Administration’s arguments, they more frequently rely on
personal attacks.

JEFFREY TOOBIN: Look at what the Administration wants to do.
Whether it’s for-profit charter schools in the enter, in the
education field. Whether it’s the infrastructure plan, which means
turning over highways to, you know, private companies that will
build them and collect tolls. Whether it’s here in the V.A, which
will privatize significant parts of the V.A. system. I mean this, you
know, there’s a lot of silliness here. But it’s also about actual
government and how it works or does not work.
BRIAN KAREM: It doesn’t work. And the idea is they’re trying to
solve a problem by throwing it into the private sector with things
that have traditionally been what we consider, you know, public
sector. You know, everything that affect us; roads, schools, V.A.
benefits. All of those things, privatizing them and turning them
over to the private sector has an inherent risk and it can be very
dangerous.
JIM SCIUTTO: It falls in under what we’ve talked about on a
number of these moves, right? You have a V.A. Secretary who
clearly wasn’t on board for that plan. Right? And seemed to
express those concerns internally and then was, you know,
beaten out, beaten out because of that disagreement.
Meanwhile, he’s going to be replaced with someone who’s with,
and listen, a President has every right to have folks who are with
the program. But I suppose the worry is that there’s no one
challenging his impulses here at any turn.
AVLON: Right. I mean, Ronny Jackson is the President’s
personal physician. We don’t know his position on these policies
yet. Presumably, those will come out. And look, the government
should be about great debates about policy but increasingly,
we’re seeing personality injected into this. Personal whim, this is
about personal chemistry more than policy. And that becomes a
real problem. And if the President increasingly is valuing personal
chemistry over competence, that’s bad news for the government.
That’s bad news for the American people.
KAREM: Well, that’s, John, that’s the bottom line. It’s the
competence part of it. I mean, it’s having people in place that
have knowledge, education, and are able to debate the issues
based on knowledge and education. And if it is a personal whim
and it boils down to personality instead of reality and education
and facts, that’s where the problem is and that’s what this
administration is running on. Seat of the pants, anything that the
President tweets, anything that he wants, and join him or die.
And that’s, that’s a very, very, again, inherently dangerous way to
run a Federal government.
205
ALISYN CAMEROTA: Let’s talk about the new Washington Post
reporting from over the weekend. The President’s inner circle is
shrinking. Who he gets advice from, who his confidantes are.
Hope Hicks left. And so what does that mean? Where does that
leave him? Here’s how The Washington Post describes it, and,
by the way, they said they had 23 sources. They used, I mean,
it’s interesting when newspapers reveal how many sources they
are so that you get the scope of who they are talking to. They say
these are internal close aides and people who have left the White
House. So 23. Here’s the description. “This is now a president a
little bit alone, isolated and without any moderating influences –
and, if anything, a president who is being encouraged and
goaded on by people around him. It really is a president
unhinged.”
TOOBIN: You know, look who he was with this weekend. I mean,
it was all these Fox News people who care deeply about cracking
down on immigration. And that’s, and that’s what we see,
including, you know, statements like, people are coming across
the border to take advantage of DACA, which is just factually
inaccurate. DACA only applies to people who have grown up in
this country.
CAMEROTA: And who were here in 2007.
TOOBIN: Right. You can’t come across the border and take
advantage of DACA. But that, I mean, that’s the people that he’s
getting advice from and that’s the policies...
JIM SCIUTTO: This is the way he ran his company. It’s a tiny
group, he’s at the top. He’s got folks around him who are on with
the program. Right? And you survive if you follow the lead.
AVLON: This is instinct masquerading as insight and the problem
is the President of the United States, here’s the core reality
where we are. The President of the United States is taking action
based on things he sees on TV rather than his intelligence
reports. That is objectively troubling.
KAREM: I don’t even think it’s that. I think he’s taking action
based on whatever, who he’s spoken to, what he ate last night,
what he ate this morning, what he saw on TV. It really doesn’t
matter. “Unhinged” is something that we’ve seen in the White
House, covering this White House from the very beginning. What
you’re now seeing are the people who have tried to protect him
and be a gatekeeper are leaving him. So that is seeing itself out
in the open a little bit more. But anyone who’s covered that White
House in the last fifteen months, has seen that man act in a very
unpresidential manner on a number of occasions. And it drifts
down to staff. And I can tell you those 23 people that have talked
to him, they’ve said that to many reporters. Just read anything
that’s come out. It’s not news. It’s scary.
 ‘The Biggest Story You Never Hear About’: Reporter
Sounds The Alarm On Awan Brothers Scandal (VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
April 2, 2018, 1:56 Pm
New Congressional documents reveal
all 44 House Democrats who hired IT
staffer Imran Awan waived the
background check on the
shady Pakistani national.
The Daily Caller reports:
Every one of the 44 House Democrats who
hired Pakistan-born IT aides who later
allegedly made “unauthorized access” to
congressional data appears to have
chosen to exempt them from background
checks, according to congressional
documents.
All of them appear to have waived
background checks on Imran Awan and his
family members, even though the family of
server administrators could collectively
read all the emails and files of 1 in 5 House
Democrats, and despite background
checks being recommended for such
positions, according to an inspector
general’s report. The House security policy
requires offices to fill out a form attesting
that they’ve initiated background checks,
but it also includes a loophole allowing
them to simply say that another member
vouched for them.
The reporter behind the new Awan report, the Daily
Caller’s Luke Rosiak, joined Fox Business Network
Monday to discuss his story.
206
“If they would have run this background
check it would have found out not only
multiple criminal convictions, but $1 million
bankruptcy, a dozen lawsuits… it would
have found a whole host of major red flags
and the Democrats didn’t do any of those
checks,” Rosiak told host Maria Bartiromo
“
As a result they gave these guys access to everything and
IG determined that they were funneling data off the House
network.”
“This is the biggest story that you never
hear about,” Rosiak added.
“It’s a hack on the Congress by foreigners
and the Democrats didn’t care about it,
they didn’t stop it. These are the same
people who were talking constantly about
cyber breaches and Russia. And if you
care about one, you’ve got to care about
the other.
“So why haven’t they addressed it?”
“It basically destroys that Russian narrative
just because it shows that they didn’t
actually care about cyber-security and they
haven’t responded to this. And thirdly, it
could just be a question of, do these guys
have something on members of
Congress?” the Daily Caller reporter said.
IT specialist Imran Awan worked for Debbie Wasserman
Schultz for thirteen years since she was first elected to
national office in 2004 as a Florida representative. She
only fired him after he was arrested and would have kept
paying her “IT expert” even after he fled to Pakistan. The
Awan brothers IT ring had access to emails and computer
data from an estimated 800 lawmakers and staffers.
Three Pakistani brothers who managed the IT affairs for
several Democratic government officials were relieved of
their duties in February on suspicion that they accessed
specific computer networks without permission, also
known as hacking Imran Awan, who started working for
Wasserman Schultz in 2005, received $164,600 in 2016,
.
207
with close to $20,000 of that coming from Wasserman
Schultz.
His brother Jamal, who started working as a staffer in
2014, was paid $157,350.12 in 2016. Abid, who started
working in 2005, was paid $160,943 in 2016. Imran’s
wife, Hina Alvi, who was employed as a staffer since
February 2007, was paid 168,300 in 2016. Rao Abbas was
paid $85,049 in 2016. Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were
barred from computer networks at the House of
Representatives in February.

Warning Yet To POTUS Trump Over Building The Wall
By Joshua Caplan

On Monday, Hollywood star James
Woods issued his sternest warning yet
to President Donald Trump: Build ‘The
Wall’ or you’re toast in 2020.
Woods has been applying pressure to Trump since the
President signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill.
“I never imagined I could loathe the @GOP more than the
I loathe @TheDemocrats, but they got me with this suck-
ass budget. I hope they get what they asked for in
November. When will these RINO wimps stop sticking
their asses in the air for the Democrats to violate?”

“Dear Mr. President, your 2016 campaign and subsequent

victory can be summed up in two words: The Wall. You
haven’t delivered. Not one brick. I guarantee if you don’t
#BuildTheWall, you won’t be re-elected. If you fail to do
this ONE thing, you’re done,” Woods tweeted. “The Democrats gave you the rope, Mr. President, and you

 Oh Please: ‘Morning Joe’ Suffers
Weapons-Grade Meltdown Over ‘Chilling,’
‘Frightening’ Sinclair
By Curtis Houck
April 2, 2018 3:01 PM EDT
At the top of Monday’s Morning Joe, the MSNBC show
ripped a new promo on network affiliates owned by
Sinclair Broadcast Group denouncing “false news” as a
“chilling,” “frightening,” and “Pravda”-like
“propaganda clip” doing President Trump’s bidding. Of
course, it was without any sense of irony in how they
licked the Obama administration’s boots and serve as
home for the Resistance.
Joe Scarborough started the hysteria two minutes into the
three-hour show, lamenting that he saw the Sinclair
affiliates airing
“a propaganda clip and so here you
have an entire broadcasting system
running a propaganda clip attacking
news agencies while the President
himself was running a lot of fake news
stories.”
Co-host and fiancée Mika Brzezinski
bemoaned how the ads are “pretty
frightening” “chilling,” while slamming
the local TV anchors as “frightening, too,
that they did this, so it goes all the way
down to who actually let the words pass
through their mouth without thinking
about them.”
After a Deadspin mash-up of the stations warning about
biased, fake, and false news being “extremely dangerous
to our democracy,” the stunned liberal panel acted as if
the apocalypse were upon us.
“A national broadcasting system that is
shoving propaganda down local
209
anchor's throats straight, straight from
the pen of somebody who’s a Trump
acolyte is really, really chilling,”
Scarborough screeched to author and
frequent guest Jon Meacham.
Meacham smugly responded by agreeing
that it was “beyond chilling” and “state
media, essentially”
before going on a bizarre rant/dismissal of the media
having a (liberal) bias that supposedly no one raises
anymore:
It's one of the things that we've always, as
a country, prided ourselves on a free and
raucous press. People can accuse us of
thinking alike sometimes. They don't do
that anymore, but back mid-century, but at
least that was a free choice. This is — this
is something that's sort of fascinating. I
guess only Donald Trump can do this,
could unify fears of corporate media plus
First Amendment people plus true
conservatives who should be worried about
large institutions dictating the reality for
others. So, anyone worried about any of
those issues should be, as you say, chilled
by this.
If the panel wants to complain about something, it's my
view that the Boris Epshteyn commentaries that are more
of a nuisance, but to each their own.
Anyway, Scarborough shifted to The Washington Post’s
David Ignatius, declaring that
“it looks like something that we would
mock the Russians for during the days
of Pravda, and yet you have....Donald
Trump attacking actually respectable
news outlets that actually fight hard
everyday to get it right, while Donald
Trump in his White House and his allies
are churning up their own fake news.”
 “[N]ow they're using an entire broadcast
system and I'm not sure who advertises
on these stations, but they're basically
advertising for America's new Pravda,”
he added.
Ignatius surmised that viewers probably didn’t know that
this was a nationwide promo campaign but now they know
and can trust folks like MSNBC (and their authoritarian
leftist allies like CNN) because
“we're the best check against this.”
On Morning Joe alone, the show has proven itself to be
possessing the same one-mindedness that they’ve now
accused Sinclair of conducting. Here’s a few recent
headlines from NewsBusters blogs about the show:

JOE SCARBOROUGH: You know, Mika, I thought it was — I
thought it was interesting, if you look at what the president said
and this weekend I was struck by all of the false information
coming out of the White House, it seemed like a more steady
pace.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Yeah.
210
SCARBOROUGH: And then on top of that, I actually saw an ally
of the President using a lot of local news stations to run a
propaganda clip and so here you have an entire broadcasting
system running a propaganda clip —
BRZEZINSKI: This is pretty frightening.
SCARBOROUGH: — attacking news agencies while the
President himself was running a lot of fake news stories.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Sinclair Anchors Required to Read
Script]
BRZEZINSKI: Well, and I find the anchors to be frightening, too,
that they did this, so it goes all the way down to who actually let
the words pass through their mouth without thinking about them.
Early last month, reports surfaced that the largest owner of
television stations in this country, Sinclair Broadcast Group, was
planning to force anchors across the country to attack other
media outlets for sharing, “fake stories.” The broadcaster is
known for pushing a conservative platform and mandating must-
run commentary. Over the past week or so, anchors nationwide
were required to read from the script, not their own commentary,
the commentary of their company as this mash-up from Deadspin
illustrates the results are chilling.
[DEADSPIN VIDEO OF SINCLAIR AFFILIATES]
SCARBOROUGH: And Jon Meacham, I think we would all agree
that —
BRZEZINSKI: This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
SCARBOROUGH: — yeah. A national broadcasting system that
is shoving propaganda down local anchor's throats —
BRZEZINSKI: Then reading them.
SCARBOROUGH: — straight, straight from the pen of
somebody who’s a Trump acolyte is really, really chilling.
JON MEACHAM: It's kind of beyond chilling, right? It's state
media, essentially. It's one of the things that we've always, as a
country, prided ourselves on a free and raucous press. People
can accuse us of thinking alike sometimes. They don't do that

dictating the reality for others.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
NICK CONFESSORE: Right.
SCARBOROUGH: Donald Trump gave Sinclair a sweetheart
deal and they're paying him back.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: “This Is Extremely Dangerous to Our
Democracy”; Sinclair Anchors Required to Read Script Bashing
“False News”]

MEACHAM: So, anyone worried about any of those issues CONFESSORE: That's right. Sinclair is trying to acquire even
should be, as you say, chilled by this. more TV stations from Tribune and trying to make this deal go
through, so it's easy to look at this as a way to win some favor in
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: President Trump, Lies, & the Trump administration and win some favor with the President's
Propaganda] appointees at the FCC. There is certainly a business angle to this
and if just kind of picture these people with even more stations
SCARBOROUGH: David, this is — it looks like something that and having this happen over even a bigger part of the country,
we would mock the Russians for during the days of Pravda, and that's what we're going for in the future.
yet you have, again, Donald Trump, you combine this with
Donald Trump attacking actually respectable news outlets that
actually fight hard everyday to get it right, while Donald Trump in
his White House and his allies are churning up their own fake
news. They're lying to the American people throughout the
weekend over the past year, year and a half, but they're trying to
discredit those who are actually calling them out on their lies and
now they're using an entire broadcast system and I'm not sure
who advertises on these stations, but they're basically advertising
for America's new Pravda.

DAVID IGNATIUS: Joe, that mash-up was funny. It had me

almost giggling, the repetition over and over again of these lines,
but obviously it's not funny. I found myself wondering what those
journalists, those people who decided I want to be in the news
business and I'm going to work hard at my local station. I want to
be in that business of sharing information, telling the truth to
people, what they felt reading these can lines and what they're
going to feel when they see around the country people — they
probably don't know that everybody was saying the same thing.
They will now and I hope people in our business — I think we're
the best check against this. People say, wait a minute, I'm not
going to do that. I believe in this business. I didn't come into
journalism to repeat the same things over and over again, but
that's — that’s one check against people trying to put things
down the throats of journalists in quotation marks to get this
uniform lineup.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah and —
BRZEZINSKI: I'm surprised not one person said I'm not going to
read this. That's stunning to me and really depressing. Why are
you in this business?
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: President Trump, Lies,
Propaganda]
SCARBOROUGH: And Nick, there is, of course, a business
angle to this.
.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, you look at what happened this
weekend, Mika, and you actually have a reason for Sinclair to
believe if we attack everybody else, if we blindly follow the
President, we'll be rewarded because if we actually did our jobs,
we would be attacked and we saw that happen with a lot of
people that work at David's paper, The Washington Post, this
weekend. The President has no problem calling the media
enemies of the state, has no problem constantly lying about
them. He has no problem being angry when they call him out on
his own lies and you know what's so interesting is as those news
anchors from around the country were saying that this weekend,
you know, and they were instructed to recite words that legitimize
the President's agenda, it was Donald Trump who was lying. He
lied about the DACA program. You just saw that. He said people
were crossing the border to take advantage of DACA. Well,
unless they had a time machine, like I said, if they had a
DeLorean, if — if they went back to the future to before I think
June of 2007, they could have taken advantage of it, but he lied
about DACA. He lied about Amazon — he — and post office
rates. He lied about The Washington Post who happened to
publish his story about Donald Trump's finances and all of that
& just days after websites, including Infowars and others, accused
Parkland survivor David Hogg of not being at the Parkland
massacre. That was picked up by mainstream media, by the way.
Hostile to the Parkland students.

 Scarborough Denies 'Absolutely Preposterous'
(But True) Immigrant Caravan Story
By Bill D'Agostino
April 2, 2018 4:39 PM EDT
On Monday, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough stuffed his
foot into his mouth with alarming force when he dismissed
reports of a caravan of Central Americans travelling
towards the U.S. as “absolutely preposterous.”
Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski scoffed at
tweets sent by President Trump over the weekend, in
which he wrote that the border was “getting more
dangerous" and referenced the caravan of would-be
migrants headed for the U.S. border.
“Some view this phrasing as Trump’s
reaction to a Fox News segment about
Central American migrants,” she continued,
presumably reading off a teleprompter,
“where ‘caravans’ appeared on screen.”
“Oh my God,” Brzezinski murmured.
Scarborough shared in her outrage:
It’s amazing. He sees “caravan of
immigrants headed to the U.S.,” which is
an absolutely preposterous story, and then
he goes to church, he makes a statement
outside of church, repeats it verbatim, has
all the facts wrong, and then he says he’s
going to destroy a trade deal with Mexico
and Canada.
He repeated this talking point just minutes later:
214
“Here you have the President going out –
again, because he saw a Fox News
segment – going out and talking about,
quote, ‘caravans of people coming to the
United States.’” He emphasized
"caravans," spitting out the word with
disgust. Evidently, Scarborough and
Brzezinski were indignant that Fox News
would dare report on this supposedly
“preposterous story."
The problem:
The story was true, and the term
“caravan” had not originated on Fox
News.
In fact, Buzzfeed had first broken the story three days prior,
in an article entitled, “A Huge Caravan Of Central
Americans Is Headed For The US, And No One In
Mexico Dares To Stop Them.” The piece chronicled the
journey of a group of “more than 1,000" Central
Americans who were marching on foot to the U.S. The
carvan was organized by a group named Pueblos Sin
Fromteras (People Without Borders in English).
Additionally, the liberal blog was far from the only outlet
to use the verbiage that was now the target of Scarborough
and Brzezinski’s ire. CNN and The Washington Post have
also used Buzzfeed’s “caravan” terminology – probably
because it's an accurate description. Thus, Brzezinski's
claim that the President's tweets had been incited by a Fox
News report was purely bad-faith speculation.
At no point did anyone present on the show acknowledge
that practically every major news outlet was reporting on
the caravan. In fact, given the disgust with which
Scarborough and Brzezinski regarded the President’s
claims, it’s possible that they may not even have been
aware that the story was true. One certainly hopes that is
the case; otherwise, their aggressive dismissals would
make them look quite disingenuous indeed. Ironically, the
show had opened that morning with a collective meltdown
over supposedly dishonest local news outlets.

President Trump At War With Jeff Bezos
By Joshua Caplan
April 2, 2018, 7:16 Pm

A new report reveals President Donald
Trump is mulling plans to go to war
against Amazon CEO and Washington
Post owner Jeff Bezos.
computing services, sources say. Another line of attack
would be to encourage attorneys general in red states to
open investigations into Amazon’s business practices.
In the past week, President Trump has taken aim at Bezos
on Twitter.

“Only fools, or worse, are saying that our

money losing Post Office makes money
with Amazon. THEY LOSE A FORTUNE,
and this will be changed. Also, our fully tax
paying retailers are closing stores all over

Vanity Fair reports:

Now, according to four sources close to the

White House, Trump is discussing ways to

 Montage: Establishment Media Very
‘Concerned’ About Sinclair’s ‘Propaganda’

CNN and MSNBC are very “concerned” about Sinclair
Broadcasting’s “propaganda” campaign — so much so that
they’ve started stealing each other’s talking points.
WATCH:
The media outlets had a collective meltdown after
Deadspin compiled a video of local news networks owned
by Sinclair reading the same script warning viewers
against fake news.
The script itself was rather innocuous and non-partisan,
reading in part:

Unfortunately, some members of the media

personal bias and agenda to control
‘exactly what people think’ … This is
extremely dangerous to a democracy … It’s
our responsibility to pursue and report the
truth. We understand Truth is neither
politically ‘left nor right.’ Our commitment to
factual reporting is the foundation of our
credibility, now more than ever.
In fact, the entire message — which Sinclair has defended
as “promoting our journalistic initiative for fair and
objective reporting” — doesn’t sound much different from
CNN’s “Facts First” campaign. (RELATED: Twitter

Nonetheless, because Sinclair is the right-leaning
competition and the script mentions “false news,”
members of the establishment media derided the message
as pro-Trump propaganda.
In the process of doing so, CNN and MSNBC anchors and
pundits seemed to repeat the same talking points over and
over again, crying about how “concerned” and “chilled”
they were by the video.
This wouldn’t be the first time these outlets have been
caught in a chorus. In our “Democrats Write The News”
series, The Daily Caller has exposed how these outlets

It appears all the bragging done by

 Trump Rips Justice Department
As ‘Embarrassment To Our Country’
President Took To Twitter To Bash DOJ For 'Slow Walking' Production Responses
To Congressional Subpoenas For Clinton Investigation Documents
By Kathryn Blackhurst
Updated 02 Apr 2018 At 10:13 PM

Government Reform, and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.),

chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence, issued subpoenas in 2016 and 2017,
respectively.

Most recently, House Committee on the Judiciary

Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) subpoenaed 1.2 million
DOJ documents regarding the Clinton investigation in late
March. These documents are the same that Justice
President Donald Trump slammed the Department of Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has in his
Justice (DOJ) in a tweet Monday for being an investigation into matter.
“embarrassment to our country” by “slow walking” its
response to congressional subpoenas for documents
regarding its politically charged investigations during the
2016 presidential campaign.

“So sad that the Department of ‘Justice’

and the FBI are slow walking, or even not
giving, the un-redacted documents
requested by Congress. An embarrass-
ment to our country!” Trump tweeted
Monday morning.

The DOJ and the FBI face widespread criticism for how
they handled their politicized investigations into 2016
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a
private email server and address for official business as
secretary of state.
Although multiple congressional committees issued
subpoenas for the documents over the past several months,
the DOJ’s response has been sluggish.
Of the 1.2 million documents requested,
Goodlatte told Fox News host Laura
Ingraham Wednesday on "The Ingraham
Angle" that he had only received 3,000 of
them — and there was no "good
justification for the delay."
FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday in a
statement that he is

"committed to ensuring that the bureau is

being transparent and responsive to
legitimate congressional requests."

Wray said he had doubled the number of FBI staff

members dedicated to fulfilling Goodlatte's request.

"This is about how the government —

Allegations of pro-Clinton and anti-President Donald

Trump biases have plagued the DOJ and FBI for months.
Although the DOJ is conducting an internal review and
congressional committees are doing separate oversight
reviews, the exceptionally slow pace of compliance has
frustrated Trump and the lawmakers.

For his part, the president repeatedly has accused the DOJ
and FBI of exhibiting marked bias against him.

 Donald Trump Could Pardon Julian Assange And Stop
This Human Rights Violation Without A Trial
By Cassandra Fairbanks
April 2, 2018, 10:57 Pm
With Ecuador cutting off internet communication and
visitors for Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks publisher is now
being arbitrarily detained in conditions worse than most
prisoners who have been found guilty of murder — for the
crime of committing journalism.
While Ecuador must be applauded for their continued
protection of Assange, they should not even be in this
position. President Donald Trump has the ability to end
this gross human rights violation once and for all.
According to the US Constitution, a president can
“grant reprieves and pardons for offenses
against the United States, except in cases
of impeachment.”
In 2015, Google handed over all of WikiLeaks
Investigations Editor Sarah Harrison, Section Editor
Joseph Farrell and senior journalist and spokesperson
Kristinn Hrafnsson’s emails and metadata to the United
States government on the back of alleged ‘conspiracy’ and
‘espionage’ warrants.
227
The alleged offenses in the warrants included espionage:
18 U.S.C. § 793(d), conspiracy to commit
espionage:
18 U.S.C. § 793(g), the theft or conversion
of property belonging to the United States
government:
18 U.S.C. § 641, violation of the Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act:
18 U.S.C. § 1030, and (general)
conspiracy.
These offenses alone carry a sentence of up to a total of 45
years of imprisonment, and this was before the DNC leaks.
In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that
the pardon power “extends to every offence known to the
law, and may be exercised at any time after its
commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or
during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.”
This grants the president the power and the right to pass
out pardons as he pleases, without a charge ever having
been filed.
The only exceptions to this rule would be state crimes and
convictions handed down in an impeachment proceeding
— which are unlikely to apply to Assange.
When pardoning Richard Nixon, Gerald
Ford simply absolved him of “all
offenses against the United States
which he … has committed or may have
committed or taken part in” from when
he took office in 1969 and when he
resigned in 1974.
Trump could do the same for Assange.
While many worry that the optics may be bad given the
mass hysteria, the simple fact of the matter is that
Democrats and Never Trumpers are never going to support
our president, and he should stop worrying about trying to
appease them. A pardon to protect real press would be both
a smack in the face to the lying fake news media he always
rails against and the Deep State that has been out to get
him since before he even stepped foot in the Oval Office.
Trump’s own lawyers have even argued the validity of
WikiLeaks publications, so it would make sense for him to
take a bold stand for press freedom by pardoning the one
publisher who has never had to issue a retraction or an
apology.
As we have previously reported, President Donald
Trump’s attorneys have been quietly making a case in
defense of WikiLeaks throughout legal filings responding
to a lawsuit filed by Democrat Party donors who allege
that the campaign and former advisor Roger Stone
conspired with Russians to publish the leaked Democratic
National Committee emails.
Buried within hundreds of pages of case filings, in a
motion filed in October, lawyer Michael A. Carvin argued
that under section 230 of the Communications Decency
Act (47 U.S.C. § 230),
“a website that provides a forum where
‘third parties can post information’ is not
liable for the third party’s posted
information.”
“That is so even when even when the
website performs ‘editorial functions’
‘such as deciding whether to publish,’”
the filing contends. “Since WikiLeaks
provided a forum for a third party (the
unnamed ‘Russian actors’) to publish
content developed by that third party
(the hacked emails), it cannot be held
liable for the publication.”
In a later filing, which we have also previously reported
on, Carvin argued that WikiLeaks is protected under the
Bartnicki First Amendment Test.
The motion, filed on December 29, argued that a defendant
may not be held liable for a disclosure of stolen
information if the disclosure deals with “a matter of public
concern” and provided that the speaker was not “involved”
in the theft.
Given that WikiLeaks does not steal or hack the documents
that they publish, this precedent set by the case of
Bartnicki v. Vapper should also apply to Assange. The
228
organization publishes material that is given to them if it
meets their editorial criteria, which is that it must be of
political, diplomatic or ethical importance and it must not
have been published elsewhere.
Carvin’s filing goes on to assert that there can be
“no serious doubt” that the disclosures from
WikiLeaks satisfied the “newsworthy” and
“public concern.”
When the nation elected President
Trump, they did so as a rejection of the
DC establishment status quo. There is
no better way to prove commitment to
these ideals than freeing the man who
has been fighting one of the bravest
fights against the swamp, at great risk
to himself, all while trapped within the
confines of a small embassy that has
become his prison.
With his voice now stripped from him, Assange has given
up his freedom, ability to watch his children grow, and the
right to communicate — to accomplish the same goal that
current administration campaigned on, exposing crooked
politicians and corporations.
Assange entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on
June 19, 2012, where he applied and was granted political
asylum. Since that day, six years ago, the embassy has
been encircled by police waiting on standby to arrest him.
In 2016, after 16 months of investigation, the United
Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention
(UNWGAD) concluded that Assange is the victim of
arbitrary detention. Not only did the group made up of
lawyers and human rights professionals release an opinion
that he should be immediately released, they reported that
he should be compensated by the governments of Sweden
and the United Kingdom for “deprivation of liberty.”
In 2010, Assange was named the people’s choice for
Time’s Person of the Year, though the title was ironically
(and unjustly) awarded to Mark Zuckerberg. He has also
won a Sam Adams Award and Martha Gellhorn Prize for
Journalism, among many others.
 Andrew McCabe’s Wife Breaks Her Silence –
Slams POTUS In Wapo Op-Ed
By Cristina Laila
April 2, 2018, 11:39 Pm
Jill McCabe, the wife of fired FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe attacked
President Trump in a Washington Post
op-ed Monday.
McCabe’s wife argued President Trump and others vilified
her and her husband and spread destructive lies about them
leading up to his firing.
Jill McCabe is an ER Pediatrician who was recruited to run
for state Senate in Virginia. She lost the race in November
of 2015 and subsequently came under heavy scrutiny for
$700,000 in campaign donations she received from
Hillary’s friends whilst her husband was investigating
Clinton.
Jill McCabe says having her personal reputation and
integrity attacked feels awful and it keeps her up at night.
Boo-hoo maybe she should spend her nights thinking
about her husband plotting an “insurance policy” with
other corrupt FBI agents in an effort to prevent/remove
Donald Trump from office.
Jill McCabe Via The Washington Post:
I lost my race in November 2015. It was
disappointing, and particularly hard for me
because I have always been the kind of
person who gives everything her all. But I
229
felt good about my effort and enjoyed
returning to normal life.
Almost a year later, everything changed. A
reporter called my cellphone on a Sunday
in October 2016, asking questions about
contributions to my campaign and whether
there had been any influence on Andrew’s
decisions at the FBI.
This could not be further from the truth. In
fact, it makes no sense. Andrew’s
involvement in the Clinton investigation
came not only after the contributions were
made to my campaign but also after the
race was over. Since that news report,
there have been thousands more,
repeating the false allegation that there
was some connection between my
campaign and my husband’s role at the
FBI.
After the 2016 election, I thought for a while
that it was all over — at least now that
President-elect Trump won, he would stop
coming after us. How naive that was. After
then-FBI Director James B. Comey was
fired, we knew that Andrew could be the
next target of the president’s wrath.
Andrew McCabe didn’t recuse himself from Hillary
Clinton’s email investigation until one week before the
presidential election.
According to Judicial Watch McCabe controlled resources
supporting the investigation into Hillary’s email scandal
while his wife was running for Virginia State Senate:
While working as Assistant Director in
Charge of the Washington Field Office,
McCabe controlled resources supporting
the investigation into former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. An
October 2016 internal FBI memorandum
labeled “Overview of Deputy Director
McCabe’s Recusal Related To Dr.
McCabe’s Campaign for Political Office,”
details talking points about McCabe’s
various potential conflicts of interest,
including the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s
 illicit server, which officially began in July
2015.
Jill McCabe continued to play victim and claimed her
decision to run for office turned into something that was
used to attack her husband’s career and the entire FBI:
To have my personal reputation and
integrity and those of my family attacked
this way is beyond horrible. It feels awful
every day. It keeps me up nights. I made
the decision to run for office because I was
trying to help people. Instead, it turned into
something that was used to attack our
family, my husband’s career and the entire
FBI.
President Trump didn’t recommend Andrew
McCabe be fired from his position at the
FBI. The Inspector General’s investigation
into McCabe began before President
Trump was elected. His own department
recommended he be fired.
Andrew McCabe was hated by many other FBI agents.
230
McCabe was under THREE federal investigations for his
behavior.
The allegations being reviewed range from
sexual discrimination to improper political
activity, the documents show, Circa News
reported.
Jill McCabe winded down her op-ed by saying,
“Nothing can prepare you for what happens
when your life is turned upside down by
current events…I have spent countless
hours trying to understand how the
president and so many others can share
such destructive lies about me.”
Andrew McCabe is a corrupt, dirty cop who deserved to be
fired.
The McCabe’s are reportedly worth over $10 million yet
they still shamelessly cyber-panhandled to pay for Andrew
McCabe’s legal defense fund.
 CEO Says Congress Denied Trump
Justice By Not Funding Southwest Wall
As President's Frustration Grows, Tommy Fisher Claimed His Model Will 'Deliver
Border Security For Every Single American, And We Can Prove It Works'
By Kathryn Blackhurst
Updated 03 Apr 2018 At 6:24 AM
Congress denied President Donald Trump “justice” by
passing an omnibus budget in March that combined only
$1.6 billion for national security and border wall funding,
according to the head of a firm competing for the
structure’s construction contract.
“President Trump had it right — Congress did not do him
justice by basically limiting the only thing they could
spend is on a fence — not a wall,” Tommy Fisher said
Monday on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.” He is
CEO of Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., one of four companies
picked to build border wall prototypes.
“Imagine if [Secretary of Defense James]
Mattis got in the military budget $700
billion, but there was a caveat on it that you
could only build old military options. That
doesn’t work,” Fisher told former Rep.
Jason Chaffetz, substituting for vacationing
host Laura Ingraham.
“[Our prototype] is a wall — not a see-
through fence. It’s an actual wall. It’s 30
feet tall, 30 inches thick of concrete, and it
will work,” Fisher said.
Fisher criticized lawmakers for withholding funds to build
the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. With Trump
growing increasingly frustrated with lawmakers’
stonewalling and slow-walking his border wall
construction, Fisher urged Congress to take action and
prioritize the safety and security of U.S. citizens above all
other political concerns.
Fisher noted that his company offered the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) a proposal to build 700 miles of
border wall across California, New Mexico and Arizona in
231
five years, including high-speed access roads for border
patrol agents on both sides of the wall “that will actually
work.”
"We're here to ... deliver border security for
every single American, and we can prove it
works," Fisher said. "So when we build
what we can build, literally those agents
can travel six to 10 times as fast as they do
because they have access. In the end, you
have to build a barrier. And our barrier lasts
150 years. But then we've got to give
access to these agents so they can protect
every one of our lives."
Trump took to Twitter Sunday and Monday to berate
Congress for resisting border wall construction and failing
to compromise on an immigration reform to provide
amnesty to illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as
children, eliminate chain migration and abolish a visa
lottery program.
"Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to
properly do their job at the Border because
of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like
Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous.
'Caravans' coming. Republicans must go to
Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW.
NO MORE [Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals] DEAL!" Trump tweeted Sunday.
"Honduras, Mexico and many other
countries that the U.S. is very generous to,
sends many of their people to our country
through our WEAK IMMIGRATION
 POLICIES. Caravans are heading here.
Must pass tough laws and build the WALL.
Democrats allow open borders, drugs and
crime!" Trump added Monday.
Trump referred to the "caravan" of an estimated 1,200
Central American illegal immigrants, organized by Pueblo
Sin Fronteras, who are crossing Mexico to enter the U.S.,
as BuzzFeed first reported. Although Mexican officials
initially did nothing to stop the illegal immigrants,
BuzzFeed reported Monday that Mexican officials now
plan to disband the caravan and allow the immigrants to
apply for visas.
Also Monday, Hector Garza, vice president of the National
Border Patrol Council, told Chaffetz that
"what's happening at the border is that
catch and release is alive and well. And
unfortunately, a lot of the Obama holdovers
within our agency are still implementing
those policies that were in effect under the
Obama administration."
Garza predicted that
232
"unfortunately, if this caravan makes it to
the southern border and they cross illegally
into our country, they will be processed, but
then they'll be released on a notice to
appear, which means that they'll disappear
into the American communities and they'll
never return to court."
"This is nothing more but a rampant abuse
of our immigration system," Garza
continued. "These people are coming to
our border and making false asylum claims.
Most of these claims do not stand up to the
judicial overview, and they don't qualify for
asylum claims."
Late Monday, Trump tweeted that;
“as ridiculous as it sounds, the laws of our
country do not easily allow us to send
those crossing our Southern Border back
where they came from. A whole big wasted
procedure must take place. Mexico &
Canada have tough immigration laws,
whereas ours are an Obama joke. ACT
CONGRESS."
Garza said that a border wall
"would definitely help border patrol
operations,"
even though Democratic lawmakers and illegal immigrant
advocates insist that a border wall is an unnecessary waste
of money.
 Feds Prosecuting Fewer Crimes
Involving VA Workers Under Trump
Latest Data Show A 31 Percent Decline Since 2013 In The Number Of
Cases Taken To Court By The Department Of Justice
By Mark Tapscott
Updated 03 Apr 2018 At 6:51 AM
Fewer crimes committed by Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) employees have been prosecuted since
President Donald Trump took office, but the decline began
five years ago under his predecessor, according to data
made public Monday by a Syracuse University shop that
analyzes important government data.
Officials at the VA referred only 17 new prosecutions to
the Department of Justice (DOJ) in February 2018,
compared to 22 in January 2018, according to case-by-case
information obtained under the Freedom of Information
Act and analyzed by the Transactional Records Access
Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse.
That’s a 17 percent decline in referrals from VA to DOJ,
compared to February 2017.
Referrals do not guarantee prosecutions, however, because,
while federal departments and agencies send cases to DOJ,
it frequently declines to take them to court.
For the first five months of fiscal year 2018 — which
began Oct. 1, 2017, and ends Sept. 30, 2018 — there were
132 referrals from the VA, resulting in 106 convictions.
Sixty-five of the convictions resulted in no prison time.
The average sentence for those who did get jail time was
nine months.
233
The VA has more than 337,000 employees, making it the
largest federal department, compared to 261,029 for the
Department of the Army, the second biggest, according to
the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
“Many of these [referrals] were for minor
offenses such as disorderly conduct,
parking violations, or driving while
intoxicated while on VA property. Only nine
out of the 132 were for drug offenses, and
just two for weapons offenses,” TRAC said.
“There were a total of 80 referrals this year
from the Veterans Administration that
federal prosecutors declined to prosecute.
Insufficient evidence was the most
common reason cited for closing these
cases without going forward on a
prosecution,” the research center added.
The VA has been at the center of multiple internal scandals
for much of the past decade. Trump made cleaning up the
department one of his highest domestic policy priorities
and has achieved some notable successes, especially in
terms of making it easier for nonperforming employees to
be fired.
But Trump either fired his first VA Secretary, David
Shulkin, last week or accepted his resignation, and he
nominated White House Physician Ronny Jackson, a Navy
rear admiral and a combat veteran, as Shulkin’s
replacement. (Both are shown above.)

 Mueller And Rosenstein Provide Court Bogus
Rebuttal To Manafort Suit – Shut The Witch Hunt Down!
By Jim Hoft
April 3, 2018, 9:38 Am
Last week we stated that the US is now
in a constitutional crisis due to the
unconstitutional and corrupt Mueller
investigation kept in place by corrupt
FBI and DOJ Leadership. Former Trump
Campaign Manager Paul Manafort may
soon be the one to shut it all down.
Mueller’s illegal Trump-Russia investigation continues to
take corrupt and unconstitutional actions while criminal
activities in Obama’s FBI, DOJ and State Department are
ignored. If there is justice, America will soon have a real
investigation looking into the Obama and Clinton criminal
acts while in office.
Paul Manafort first made arguments in a suit with Robert
Mueller, Rod Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions as Head of the
DOJ, related to illegalities in the way that Rosenstein set
up the Mueller special counsel. Rosenstein’s special
counsel order was not based on a crime and
unconstitutionally stated that Mueller could basically look
at anything he wanted to look at. These provisions are
against the law and are now for the courts to settle.
In addition to the above suit, Robert Barnes wrote last
week at Law and Crimes that Mueller’s actions not related
to the 2016 campaign are outside the scope of Jeff
Sessions recusal as AG and therefore unconstitutional –
Paul Manafort‘s legal team brought a motion to dismiss on
Tuesday, noting that Rosenstein could not appoint Mueller
to any investigation outside the scope of the 2016
campaign since Sessions did not recuse himself for
anything outside the campaign. I agree with this take on
Mueller’s authority. If we follow that argument that would
235
mean Sessions himself has exclusive authority to appoint a
special counsel for non-collusion charges, and Sessions
has taken no such action. Sessions himself should make
that clear to Mueller, rather than await court resolution.
Doing so would remove three of the four areas of inquiry
from Mueller’s requested interview with President Trump.
Sessions formally notifying Mueller that he does not have
authority to act outside of campaign-related cases and
cases related to obstruction of Mueller’s investigation
would be doing what the Constitution compels: enforcing
the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Additionally,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority
to act outside of campaign-related cases would be
exercising Sessions’ court-recognized Constitutional
obligation to “direct and supervise litigation” conducted by
the Department of Justice. Furthermore, Sessions notifying
Mueller that he does not have authority to act outside of
campaign-related cases protects against the inappropriate
use of the federal grand jury that defendant Manafort now
rightly complains about.
Sessions limiting Mueller to the 2016 campaign would
also be restoring confidence in democratic institutions, and
restore public faith that democratically elected officials.
One thing to remember about Sessions’ recusal: Sessions
only recused himself from
“any existing or future investigations of any
matters related in any way to the
campaigns for President of the United
States.” This recusal letter limits the scope
of Sessions’ recusal to the 2016
campaigns; it does not authorize Sessions’
recusal for anything beyond that.
Constitutionally, Sessions has a “duty to
direct and supervise litigation” conducted
by the Department of Justice. Ethically,
professionally, and legally, Sessions
cannot ignore his supervisory obligations
for cases that are not related to the
“campaigns for President.”
Late last night Mueller and Rosenstein
presented to the courts a rebuttal for
Manafort’s latest action – they
presented a previously undisclosed
 memo to a federal court in Washington
supposedly addressing Manafort’s
argument. The problem is it doesn’t.
The memo is dated August 2, 2017 and is from Rosenstein
to Mueller supposedly directing Mueller to look into
Manafort actions with a Russian operative perhaps before
2016. This however is clearly outside the scope of
Sessions’ recusal as argued by Manafort and doesn’t even
address Manafort’s argument that these actions are not for
.
Mueller to take or Rosenstein to order but are Sessions
actions alone as AG.
If Rosenstein and Mueller can’t come up
with something legal and constitutional
their gooses may finally be cooked by of
all people, Paul Manafort. We can only
hope and pray for justice.

New Sheriff In Town: Judge Napolitano Breaks Down How
John Huber Will Investigate Clintons, FISA And The FBI
Nick Givas - Media And Politics Reporter
10:00 AM 04/03/2018
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano broke
down the upcoming investigation into former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, the FBI and the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court, on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday, and
expects subpoenas to start flying.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced John Huber, the
U.S. attorney in Utah, will be investigating Clinton along
with the FBI and the Department of Justice for their role in
spying on President Donald Trump during the 2016
election.
“The attorney general appoints the chief
federal prosecutor for Utah to investigate
three things,” Napolitano said. “The
exoneration of Mrs. Clinton before all the
evidence was in. The exoneration of
President Clinton and Secretary Clinton on
Uranium One before all the evidence was
in and the abuse of FISA by the FBI and
the DOJ.”
WATCH:
237
Napolitano called Huber a “de facto special counsel” and
expects him to convene a grand jury to begin issuing
subpoenas.
“So this guy is in Utah. If he comes to
Washington, D.C., and gets a half-dozen
federal prosecutors assigned to him and a
dozen or so FBI agents assigned to you
him — He is a de facto special counsel.
He’s doing what needs to be done,”
Napolitano said. “He’ll impanel a grand
jury. They’ll present evidence to the grand
jury. The grand jury will issue subpoenas. If
the subpoenas don’t work, he’ll go to a
federal judge and get a search warrant.”
Napolitano thinks Huber must make the trip the D.C. to be
effective, because his power would be limited if he
remains in Utah.
“If he stays in Utah. He cannot impanel a
grand jury in Utah to examine something
that happened in D.C.,” Napolitano said.
“All the evidence is in D.C. You’re
examining NSA, FBI, DOJ, present and
past. The Utah grand jury does not have
jurisdiction over events in D.C.”
“He will be toothless if he stays in Utah,”
Napolitano concluded. “I’ve never heard of
an effective criminal prosecution without a
grand jury. You present evidence to the
grand jury. You get the grand jury to issue
a subpoena.”
 China To US: We Will Hit You
Just As Hard As You Hit Us In A Trade War
Ryan Pickrell - China/Asia Pacific Reporter
10:04 AM 04/03/2018
China warned Tuesday that it will respond to any U.S.
trade penalties with countermeasures of the same scale and
intensity.
President Donald Trump has threatened to punish China
for intellectual property theft and forced technology
transfers with around $60 billion in trade tariffs on Chinese
goods. “If they do [impose new tariffs] we will certainly
take countermeasures of the same proportion and of the
same scale, same intensity,” Chinese Ambassador to the
U.S. Cui Tiankai told Chinese state-run broadcaster CCTV
Tuesday, according to The South China Morning Post.
Intellectual property theft is a problem the Trump
administration estimates costs the U.S. hundreds of billions
of dollars a year, and China is regarded as the worst
offender. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has accused
China of attacking American genius.
China’s latest threat follows a move Monday to impose
roughly $3 billion in tariffs on 128 American products in
response to the president’s hard-hitting steel and aluminum
tariffs. Beijing has placed a 15 percent tariff on 120
products like fruits, nuts, and wine and a 25 percent on
eight additional products, such as pork and recycled
aluminum.
238
It is unclear exactly how China intends to respond to the
new trade penalties, but some observers suspect that
Beijing may target the $250 billion in deals Chinese
President Xi Jinping and Trump negotiated during the
latter’s visit to China in November. Former Chinese
finance minister Lou Jiwei has suggested that Beijing may
target soybeans. China could also put the squeeze on
American companies like Boeing, Apple, and Intel.
China has repeatedly stated that it is not interested in a
trade war, but it has also stressed that it will not lose
should Washington decide to start one.
“We will fight to the end,” the Chinese
Embassy in the U.S. said in a recent
statement in response to the president’s
trade tariffs.
The Chinese foreign ministry reiterated this point Tuesday.
“The US has a list. China also will have a
list,” Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters.
Beijing hopes “to resolve the differences in
trade with the United States through
dialogue and consultation,” he added.
The Trump administration has argued that a trade war is
not the desired outcome, but it has asserted that the U.S.
will continue to press China for free and fair trade, as well
as efforts to decrease the massive $375 billion trade
deficit.
Sebastian Gorka Tells Foreigners To Watch Their Step: ‘No
Foreign National Has A Right To Come To America’
Nick Givas - Media And Politics Reporter
10:29 AM 04/03/2018
Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka said the United
States must take a harder line on immigration to preserve
its national sovereignty, Monday on “Hannity.”
President Donald Trump’s entire message is built upon the
idea of national sovereignty, Gorka said and believes no
foreign national has the right to enter the United States.
“The Trump doctrine, the make America
great again doctrine, is built on the platform
of national sovereignty,” Gorka, a former
deputy assistant to the president, said on
Fox News. “I know this is going to make
liberal minds explode but guess what? No
foreign national has a right to come to
America. No one does. If we don’t have
borders, the word America ceases to have
meaning.”
WATCH:
.
239
Gorka, a Fox News national security strategist, believes
open borders activists are still going strong and said their
policies are a threat to national security.
“Hillary may have lost but the ideologues,
the ideological activists, haven’t given up,”
Gorka said.
“This is a direct threat to national security
because you can’t have a porous border
and keep Americans safe,” he continued.
“It doesn’t matter whether these people
want asylum. That border is there to protect
us from drugs, from coyotes, from illegal
weapons. And guess what? From terrorists
as well.”
“I have a word for all these nations that are
complicit in undermining our national
sovereignty,” Gorka concluded. “Donald J.
Trump is not a president you want to test.”
 Trump Wants To Use Obscure 1974 Law
To Strip The Budget He Already Signed
Thomas Phippen - Reporter
10:38 AM 04/03/2018
The White House plans to reduce the size of the $1.3
trillion spending bill President Donald Trump signed into
law in March using an obscure part a 1974 budget law.
The White House will send a “rescission” request to
Congress when members return from spring recess next
week, according to The Washington Post.
“The administration is certainly looking at a
rescission package, and the president
takes seriously his promise to be fiscally
responsible,” White House legislative
director Marc Short told The Post.
Congress would have to approve the request to reduce
funding levels, a tough prospect given the slight majority
Republicans hold in the Senate and Democratic opposition
in the House.
240
The 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act that created the modern appropriations process
also allows the president to request specific cuts to the
budget once it is signed into law, which Congress would
have 45 days to consider.
North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, chairman
of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said he was
“very supportive and extremely pleased with the
leadership’s willingness to engage on the issue. Leader
[Kevin] McCarthy heard from constituents and worked
quickly to address the issue in a meaningful way.”
Trump railed against the spending bill’s high expenditures
on federal programs during his signing ceremony, calling it
“ridiculous” and vowing to “never sign another bill like
this again.”
The bill, the second highest single combined
appropriations bill ever passed, in many ways goes
beyond former President Barack Obama’s goals for the
size of the government, Meadows said.
After threatening to veto the bill outright the day before
the federal government would shutdown, Trump agreed to
approve the spending bill as a national security measure.
The spending bill increased defense spending, but also
increased most domestic programs counter to the
president’s own budget goals.

In a book released Tuesday, reporter Eddie Scarry argues

Mr. Kelly” days before he talked about it in a tweet.
Scarry also pokes ridicule at Wolff’s suggestion that

Oval Office, rubbing shoulders with Trump son-in-law
Jared Kushner, looking for some kind of high-level,
clandestine employment.
“A distinguished former British prime

Trump Officials’ First Class Flights

Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) (L) and ranking member Rep.
Elijah Cummings (D-MD) argue during a hearing of the House Select
Committee on Benghazi (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
Democratic members of the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform want Congress to hold
hearings on how cabinet officials have spent allegedly
exorbitant amounts of taxpayer money on air travel.
“Many agencies — including the White
House — have refused to provide the
information our Committee has requested
to conduct our investigation, and without
subpoenas, we cannot effectively
investigate this matter,” Democratic Reps.
Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the ranking
member of the Oversight Committee,
and Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois wrote in
a letter Tuesday.
In the letter, Cummings and other Democrats on the
committee urged GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy of South
Carolina to hold hearings on
“extent of these improper flights and why
the White House and several agencies
have refused to provide the requested
documents.”
Cummings wants the hearings to address whether the
Trump administration
“has adequate controls in place to protect
taxpayer money when it comes to the travel
of members of this administration.”
“As representatives of the American
taxpayers, we are responsible for ensuring
.
250
their hard-earned money is not wasted,”
Cummings wrote.
Gowdy, the Oversight Committee chairman, joined
Cummings in September in requesting information on air
travel expenditures from 25 government agencies and
departments, including the White House, but apparently
have not received responses to their queries.
Meanwhile, watchdog groups and media organizations
continue to report on expensive flights for government
officials paid for by taxpayers.
Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt has
been particularly criticized for routinely booking first-class
seats when coach travel was available. On one trip to a G-7
summit in Italy, the EPA spent $120,000 on first-class
airfare for Pruitt, coach seats for his security detail, and a
chartered military jet to New York city.
Gowdy pressed the EPA about Pruitt’s use of first class
airfare in February, requesting documentation by March 6.
Federal law prohibits purchasing first-class airfare unless
the government official obtains a waiver, usually to
accommodate disabilities or special needs.
“Clearly, federal regulations prohibit a
blanket waiver to fly first class except to
accommodate disabilities or special needs.
Instead, a waiver for each flight is required
in order to fly first or business class when
traveling on official government business,”
Gowdy wrote.
The EPA did not respond to Gowdy’s request by the
deadline, according to The Hill.
Two cabinet officials have already fallen in the wake of
embarrassing reports of seemingly extravagant travel
spending. Former Health and Human Services Secretary
Tom Price resigned in September after reports he took $1
million worth of taxpayer-funded trips on private planes,
and former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin was
forced out of his position in March after months of bad
press surrounding a European work trip that included
several days of sightseeing with his wife.

to properly vet their staff.
“The Democrats really have no room to talk
about cyber meddling and Russia without
addressing the deeply disturbing
relationship with [Awan],” Rosiak said
Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.”
“After [Awan] started working for
Wasserman Schultz, a number of
Democrats hired his whole family. And the
House inspector general determined
shortly before the 2016 election that he
made unauthorized access to data. He was
actually impersonating Congressmen and
funneling data off the House network.”
“He was even logging into the servers of
members who had previously fired him and
who he never worked for at all. So this is
huge deal,” he added “This is a hack on
Congress.”

“You would do more vetting when you hire
a babysitter than the Democrats did when
they decided to hire Pakistani citizens and
give them access to all their data and
emails for one in five House Democrats
including three members of the intelligence
committee,” Rosiak continued. “If they
would have done a background check,
there’s no way that these guys would’ve
passed.”
A simple background check would have uncovered major
red flags and could’ve prevented the scandal entirely,
Rosiak thinks.
“They didn’t vet them. They exempted them
from the background checks. They paid
them four times more than any other I.T.
Guys,” Rosiak concluded. “When the IG
determined in September of 2016 that
these guys hacked Congress, they left
them on the network anyway through the
election. And as you mentioned, it gets
even worse with Wasserman Schultz;
because finally in February of 2017, the
capitol police had enough and they banned
them. Wasserman Schultz still didn’t fire
this guy.”
 Trump Touts How Much Tougher
He Has Been On Russia Than Everybody Else
Chris White - Energy Reporter
1:50 PM 04/03/2018
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his
administration has been tougher on Russia than anybody
else.
“Probably nobody’s been tougher to Russia
than Donald Trump,” Trump told a group of
reporters gathered at the White House. The
president also suggested the former
communist nation is feeling the heat as the
U.S. continues to mass export oil and gas.
“We’re now exporting oil and gas,” he said,
adding: “
This is not something that Russia wanted.”
Trump’s comments come as relations
between the U.S. and Russia continue to
wilt, especially after Russian President
Vladimir Putin expelled U.S. ambassadors
from Moscow.
.
253
Trump did end his response to questions about Russia on a
conciliatory note.
“If we got along with Russia, that would be
a good thing not a bad thing,” he said
before calling people who disagree with
that assessment “very stupid people.”
The president has slowly ratcheted up rhetoric against
Moscow. Russia wouldn’t stand a chance in a Cold War-
style nuclear arms race, he said in a March 21 phone call
with Putin shortly after Putin won re-election.
The president tightened the screws on Putin. The White
House recently leveled a series of sanctions against Russia
and announced on March 26 the U.S. would expel 60
Russian diplomats — the largest number since the Cold
War — in response to Moscow’s alleged nerve agent
attack on a former U.K. spy.
Trump called the leaders of France, Germany and the U.K.
to say the Russian leader sounded dangerous in a speech
Trump watched and the four countries need to stick
together, according to a White House official familiar with
the calls.

BREAKING: POTUS Trump Says He Will Guard Mexican
Border WITH MILITARY Against Caravan
Of Illegal Aliens (VIDEO)
By Cristina Lail
April 3, 2018, 11:56 Am
President Trump said Tuesday to press
pool reporters he will use the military to
guard the border against the caravan of
illegal aliens marching their way to the
United States from Mexico.
Via The Washington Times:
“We are going to be guarding our border
with our military. That’s a big step,” Mr.
Trump told reporters.
256
He said he has been speaking to Defense Secretary Jim
Mattis about deploying the military on the border.
About 1,000 immigrants from Central America, mainly
Honduras, are moving in a group through Mexico toward
the U.S. Some of them are expected to seek asylum if they
reach the U.S.
“We cannot have people flowing into our
country illegally, disappearing, and by the
way never showing up for court,” Mr.
Trump said at the White House. “If it
reaches our border, our laws are so weak
and so pathetic … it’s like we have no
border.”
President Trump means
business.
He unleashed a tweetstorm Sunday
morning which continued into Monday,
warning Mexico about the ‘caravan’
army of over 1,200 illegal aliens from
Central America marching their way
through Mexico to the U.S. border where
they will either seek asylum or illegally
cross the border.
Monday evening, embedded Buzzfeed reporter, Adolfo
Flores reported the Mexican immigration authorities said
they are planning on disbanding the caravan of illegal
aliens by Wednesday in Oaxaca.
However, later Monday evening, defiant caravan
organizers vowed to march forward to the U.S. border and
plan to cross over from Baja, California.
Tuesday morning, President Trump threatened to cut off
foreign aid to Honduras and others if the caravan of
illegals isn’t stopped.
It’s time to bring in the big guns. Trump has had enough
and he hears the American people begging for him to
deploy the military to the border to stop this criminal
insanity.
The caravan army of illegal invaders are mostly military-
aged men; it’s an invasion.

Thank you POTUS Trump!

President Trump told reporters,

“Until we have a wall and proper security,

we’re going to be guarding our border with
the military.”

 ‘Rosenstein And Mueller Colluded To Break The Law’
Attorney Gregg Jarrett Calls On “Unethical Mueller” To
Resign After Rosenstein Memo Surfaces
By Cristina Laila
April 3, 2018, 1:58 Pm
An August 2017 memo from Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to
Special Counsel Robert Mueller
surfaced late Monday evening in a court
filing. Mueller used the memo to defend
his scope of the investigation against a
recent motion Manafort filed to dismiss
his case.
In the heavily redacted memo, Robert Mueller admits
Rosenstein’s order appointing him to Special Counsel was
intentionally vague.
“This violates the special counsel law that
requires a specific statement of facts to be
investigated,” says Attorney Gregg Jarrett.
Legal analyst for Fox News, Gregg
Jarrett unleashed on Mueller and
Rosenstein on Tuesday, calling for both
to resign after they ‘colluded to break
the law.’
Gregg Jarrett tweeted:

Rosenstein and Muller colluded to break

260
— Gregg Jarrett (@GreggJarrett) April 3,
2018
As TGP’ Joe Hoft previously reported, late last night
Mueller and Rosenstein presented to the courts a rebuttal
for Manafort’s latest action – they presented a previously
undisclosed memo to a federal court in Washington
supposedly addressing Manafort’s argument. The problem
is it doesn’t.
The memo is dated August 2, 2017 and is from Rosenstein
to Mueller supposedly directing Mueller to look into
Manafort actions with a Russian operative perhaps before
2016. This however is clearly outside the scope of
Sessions’ recusal as argued by Manafort and doesn’t even
address Manafort’s argument that these actions are not for
Mueller to take or Rosenstein to order but are Sessions
actions alone as AG.
Gregg Jarrett also called for Mueller to resign in June of
2017 stating the special counsel has an egregious conflict
of interest.
In a previous Fox News column, Jarrett stated:
The Washington Post is reporting that
Robert Mueller is now investigating
President Trump for obstruction of justice,
examining not only the president’s alleged
statement to James Comey in their
February meeting, but also the firing of the
FBI Director.
If true, this development makes the
argument even more compelling that
Mueller cannot serve as special counsel.
He has an egregious conflict of interest.
The special counsel statute specifically
prohibits Mueller from serving if he has “a
personal relationship with any person
substantially involved in the investigation or
prosecution.” The language is mandatory.
He “shall” disqualify himself. Comey is
substantially involved in the case. Indeed,
he is the central witness.
 The two men and former colleagues have
long been friends, allies and partners.
Agents have quipped that they were joined
at the hip while at the Department of
Justice and the FBI. They have a mentor-
protégé relationship. The likelihood of
prejudice and favoritism is glaring and
severe.
.
261
So, it is incomprehensible that the man
who is a close friend of the star witness
against the president… will now determine
whether the president committed a
prosecutable crime in his dealings with
Mueller’s good friend.

“Problem 4: Rosenstein’s letter tells

Barnes concluded.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, last night,
Mueller and Rosenstein presented to the courts a rebuttal
for Manafort’s latest action – they presented a previously
undisclosed memo to a federal court in Washington
supposedly addressing Manafort’s argument.
The memo is dated August 2nd, 2017 and is from
Rosenstein to Mueller supposedly directing Mueller to
look into Manafort actions with a Russian operative
perhaps before 2016.
This, however, is clearly outside the scope of Sessions’
recusal as argued by Manafort and doesn’t even address
Manafort’s argument that these actions are not for Mueller
to take or Rosenstein to order but are Sessions actions
alone as Attorney General.
In January, Manafort filed a civil lawsuit in a D.C. court
against Mueller, Rosenstein and the Justice Department,
alleging the special counsel went outside of the
investigation’s scope.
 Mueller Told Trump’s Lawyers
President Is NOT A Criminal Target,
Yet …Trump Team Should Never Trust This Man
By Joshua Caplan
April 3, 2018, 7:42 Pm
The Washington Post reported Tuesday
that special counsel Robert Mueller
notified President Trump’s lawyers last
month that their client is currently not a
criminal target in the Russia probe.
Via WaPo:
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III
informed President Trump’s attorneys last
month that he is continuing to investigate
the president but does not consider him a
criminal target at this point, according to
three people familiar with the discussions.
In private negotiations in early March about
a possible presidential interview, Mueller
described Trump as a subject of his
investigation into Russia’s interference in
the 2016 election. Prosecutors view
someone as a subject when that person
has engaged in conduct that is under
investigation but there is not sufficient
evidence to bring charges.
The Trump lawyers should never trust
Mueller. Never.
Trump is still Mueller’s number one
target.
President Trump’s lawyers are in the process of
negotiating with special counsel Robert Mueller to bring
272
the Russia probe to an end, reported Rebecca
Ballhaus and Peter Nicholas of the Wall Street Journal.
President Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to negotiate
a deal with special counsel Robert Mueller that uses an
interview with the president as leverage to spur a
conclusion to the Russia investigation, according to a
person familiar with the discussions.
The president’s legal team is considering telling Mr.
Mueller that Mr. Trump would agree to a sit-down
interview based on multiple considerations, including that
the special counsel commit to a date for concluding at least
the Trump-related portion of the investigation. One idea is
to suggest a deadline of 60 days from the date of the
interview, the person said.
Yet, the question remains, is Mueller running out of time
to prove President Trump colluded with Russia to win the
White House?
While many argue the probe should have never existed,
one Republican Congressman has said that he believes
Mueller’s time is nearly up.
Washington Times reports:
Rep. Francis Rooney said Thursday he
believes it could soon be time for special
counselor Robert Mueller to bring an end to
his Russian probe. […]
“Unfortunately for Mr. Mueller, despite his
great reputation, he hasn’t found anything
that we know about yet, so if they don’t find
something they need to wrap it
up,” Rooney told CNN in March.
“He hasn’t found collusion or successful
interference, he has just found that the
Russian’s tried, and I think we need to
have these sanctions that the president
signed and the House and Senate passed
last summer show them that there is a
price to pay for that,” Rooney added.
 What Is The Deep State? [VIDEO]
Vince Coglianese - Editorial Director
7:25 AM 04/04/2018
What is the Deep State?
Since the moment Donald Trump was elected president of
the United States, he’s been met with a resistance,
including people working within the government to
undermine its leader.
Polling shows that an overwhelming majority of
Americans believe that a Deep State exists, and that
“it’s secretly manipulating or directing
national policy.”
Who are these people? Don’t they work for the president?
And how is that they feel so invulnerable that they can
actively seek to undermine him?
273
“These are career individuals who
essentially have learned how to use the
tools of state for their own personal political
objectives,” says Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a
former Army officer with decades of
intelligence experience.
“The concept of the Deep State refers, in
the popular imagination,” says award-
winning investigative journalist James
Rosen, “to a group of unelected officials
who work within the intelligence community
and have the power to frustrate or subvert
a sitting president of the United States.
Maybe even to evict one.”
“A lot of these people cannot be fired, and
they consistently leak damaging
information about” President Trump, says
Saagar Enjeti, White House correspondent
for The Daily Caller.

2016. This however is clearly outside the scope of
Sessions’ recusal as argued by Manafort and doesn’t even
address Manafort’s argument that these actions are not for
Mueller to take or Rosenstein to order but are Sessions
actions alone as AG.
Overnight it was reported at
Law and Crime that Mueller’s
raid on Paul Manafort’s home
took place before August 2nd,
the date that Rosenstein
provided Mueller support for the
raid. The FBI reportedly
manhandled Manafort and his
wife in the early morning raid
on July 26th.
Corrupt Rosenstein provided dirty cop
and former FBI Head Mueller a memo
giving him permission to raid Manafort’s
house in an abusive early morning raid
two weeks after Mueller had carried out
the intrusion. This witch hunt is out of
control.

 Illegal Alien Caravan Marching To
US Border Begins To Splinter Into Smaller Groups
By Cristina Laila
April 4, 2018, 10:55 Am
Earlier this week, embedded Buzzfeed
reporter, Adolfo Flores reported the
Mexican immigration authorities said
they were planning on disbanding the
caravan of illegal aliens by Wednesday
in Oaxaca.
However, defiant caravan organizers vowed to march
forward with their list of demands to the U.S. border and
plan to cross over from Baja, California.
President Trump said Tuesday to press
pool reporters he will use the military to
guard the border against the caravan of
illegal aliens marching their way to the
United States from Mexico.
President Trump also threatened to cut off foreign aid to
Honduras and others if the caravan of illegals isn’t
stopped.
The illegal alien army seems unfazed by
Trump’s bold move; the caravan said
they will not be stopped and plan on
marching ahead to the US border.
It is now being reported the caravan is beginning to
splinter into smaller groups.
Some Central Americans are planning on staying in
Mexico, approximately 400 people have been sent home
according to Mexico’s Interior Ministry.
280
Fox News reported:
The large group has been camped out in
the town of Matias Romero in the southern
part of Mexico since the weekend, after
starting a trek from the Guatemala-Mexico
border on March 25. It reached a peak of
about 1,500 but a spokesperson for the
advocacy group Pueblo Sin Fronteras –
which organized the caravan and sought to
draw attention to the rights of migrants –
told Reuters that many people had broken
off and were continuing the route on their
own.
“Now they’re separating these groups,”
Ellis Garcia told Reuters. “I don’t know
what’s the deal, we have no answers.”
As the caravan began to attract growing attention in the
U.S., Mexico began cracking down on the group. Mexico’s
Interior Ministry has said that 400 people in the caravan
had already been sent back to their home countries, and
Mexican immigration authorities began screening those
still in Matias Romero.
That prompted the caravan to break apart, organizers said.
An estimated 300 people split from the larger caravan on
Monday, while advocacy groups told the news agency
dozens of other people split off to the eastern state of
Veracuz only to be met by Mexican immigration officials
and police.
Even though some of the Central American migrants may
stay in Mexico, hundreds plan on making their way to the
US border seeking asylum even if that means making the
trek on their own.
 President Trump: “We Are Not In A Trade War With
China, That War Was Lost Many Years Ago”
By Lucian Wintrich
April 4, 2018, 11:17 Am
Despite President Trump previously calling the US’
relationship with China “one-sided”, Trump once again
insisted there is no impending trade war. Taking to Twitter
this morning, the president tweeted:
We are not in a trade war with China, that
war was lost many years ago by the
foolish, or incompetent, people who
represented the U.S. Now we have a Trade
Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with
Intellectual Property Theft of another $300
Billion. We cannot let this continue!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
April 4, 2018
These statements echo the president’s statements back in
November of last year when he stated that he doesn’t
“blame China” because
“who can blame a country for being able to
take advantage of another country for the
benefit of its citizens? I give China great
credit.”
.
281
These remarks come on the heels of an investigation by the
Trump administration into Chinese commercial practices
and a new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. It is
worth noting that these new tariffs only impact a small
percentage of the US-Chinese market valued at nearly
$650 billion a year. Despite this, China hit back against the
Trump administration’s new measures with their own
series on tariffs on Wednesday.
Via NYT:
China hit back at the United States on
Wednesday with proposed tariffs on $50
billion worth of American soybeans, cars,
chemicals and other goods, in a move
likely to stoke fears that the countries’
escalating confrontation could become an
all-out trade war.
Moving with unusual speed, Chinese officials outlined
plans to make it more costly to import 106 types of
American goods into China. They are intended to hit the
United States square in the farm belt — a major section of
President Trump’s political support but also a major
supplier of what China stocks in its supermarkets.
Beijing’s plan to institute new tariffs was announced just
hours after the Trump administration detailed its own
protections on a similar value of Chinese-made aircraft
parts, cars and car parts, televisions, steel and much more.
Following a previous round of tit-for-tat tariffs unveiled
over the past few days, the new measures have sparked
concerns that the dispute could widen further, hurting jobs
and growth in both countries.
 AMAZING! President Trump’s Approval Rating
Soars To 51% – Tops Obama By 5 Points At Same
Time Of His Presidency
By Cristina Laila
April 4, 2018, 1:35 Pm
Despite over 90% negative media
coverage, President Trump’s approval
rating soared to 51% in Wednesday’s
Rasmussen Presidential daily tracking
poll.
Barack Hussein Obama’s approval rating was at 46% on
April 4th, 2010 – and that was with the media slobbering
all over him day in and day out.
President Trump told press pool reporters on Tuesday he
will be guarding the Mexican border with our military.
Americans responded positively to Trump’s strong
leadership.
282
Via Rasmussen:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential
Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that
51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of
President Trump’s job performance. Forty-
eight percent (48%) disapprove.
This is the president’s best overall job
approval rating since April of last year.
President Obama earned a 46% job
approval rating on April 4, 2010, his second
year in office.
On April 2nd, daily presidential tracking Rasmussen
poll had President Trump at a 50% approval.
Barack Hussein Obama was at 46% at the same time of his
presidency.
Americans respond to strong leadership despite the anti-
Trump propaganda flooding from news outlets.

against illegal immigration and Americans approved.
 The Media Wants America To Stay In Syria
Joe Simonson - Media Reporter
1:47 PM 04/04/2018

scrutinize America’s lack of action after the former

president’s infamous “red line” speech.

Now, with a Republican back in office, many in the media

are dedicated to opposing any and all of his decisions —
no matter how hypocritical they appear.

Washington Post columnist and CNN commentator

Reports that President Donald Trump is considering
withdrawing American forces from Syria has made many
in the media outright advocate for a semi-permanent
presence in the region because of their paranoia about
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Catherine Rampell said that “Putin must be ecstatic” with
Trump’s instructions to begin planning for withdrawal
from the region. Forget the fact that it’d be odd for a
president to base all of his foreign policy decisions on
what would bother Russia — why isn’t Rampell focussing
on how delightful it must be for American soldiers to
finally reunite with their family, or how the resources this
country has spent overseas can now be used domestically?

The Washington Post reported Wednesday morning that

“President Trump has instructed military leaders to prepare
to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria but has not set a date
for them to do so, according to a senior administration
official.”

WATCH MSNBC ON TRADE WARS:

Normally, such an announcement would bring bipartisan

joy to America’s professional commentariat. After all, a
2017 poll found that only one-in-five Americans support
greater American involvement in the region. Of course,
nothing is normal under Trump.
Despite your feelings on former President George W.
Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, the media’s reflexive
opposition to every military decision the former president
made was one of the most blatant episodes of media bias in
recent history. Under the Obama years, the press stuck by
their buddy in the White House and was hesitant to
Atlantic writer and MSNBC talking head Natasha Bertrand
called Trump’s decision “a big win for Russia.” Again,
Bertrand furthers the message that U.S. policy should be
based on competing with Russia. She never articulates
what our precise strategy is for the region, but instead
seems to endorse a game-like foreign policy where
America tries winning more points and “beats” Russia.

283

Hillary Clinton adviser Philippe Reines tagged along and
claimed Trump’s decision was informed by the fact that
“Putin wants Syria to himself.” Reines, like his fellow new
interventionists, never gives a recommendation on what
exactly the United States should do aside from vaguely
stressing the importance of American presence in the
country. Instead, any hesitation in spilling more American
blood in a war that most people can’t name what side
we’re on must be because Trump is compromised by a
foreign agent.
284
Nevermind that way back in 2005, when Reines was
Clinton’s spokesman, he called for “a smaller American
‘footprint’ in Iraq and the region.” Remember, Bush
wanted a bigger presence in the Middle East, so it was
important to oppose that policy. Now, Trump’s policy
mirrors then-Sen. Clinton’s, so it’s time to flip-flop.
There’s little doubt that all of these proudly liberal
commentators were critical of the Iraq War early on. To
the left, that war was one built on lies with little strategic
interest for the U.S. When Obama significantly decreased
America’s troop presence in Iraq, where were all the
hysterical fears from the left of Putin’s ambition to restore
the Soviet Union? Nowadays, all it takes to justify
hawkishness isn’t a concern about terrorism or our oil
reserves — but a visceral hatred of the sitting president.
Some liberals, like Task and Purpose columnist Paul
Szoldra have no problem pointing out how “strange” it is
to see these reactions. There are a variety of valid
criticisms one can lob at Trump over this decision, but
they’d be a lot more effective if they didn’t seem so
nakedly partisan.

“He predicted a global recession with no

“So, I don’t trust economists like as a

He is someone that is well respected,” she
continued. “My understanding was he was
going to have a political career, but he had
a very serious cocaine habit that he’s very
open about in the 90s, that sort of derailed
where he was going and he went into

worse options. He’s much more
conservative than Gary Cohn who he’s

 Sen. Durbin Questions
Sinclair’s Editorial Decisions
Amber Athey - Media Reporter
3:41 PM 04/04/2018

Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin demanded in a

Wednesday letter that Sinclair Broadcasting justify its
editorial decisions.

Sinclair came under fire after a montage video showed

local anchors all reading the same editorial script warning
viewers about “biased” and “false news.” Media members
warned that Sinclair was engaging in pro-Trump
“propaganda” and questioned the network’s credibility.
(RELATED: Montage: Establishment Media Very
‘Concerned’ About Sinclair’s ‘Propaganda’)

Durbin sent a letter to Sinclair’s executive asking them to

explain why anchors were delivering “scripted
promotional message[s]” on public broadcast stations.

“Not only is this practice concerning, it contradicts

representations of Sinclair’s policies made to my staff…in
a November 2017 meeting,” he wrote. “The requirement
that local news anchors deliver a a scripted promotional
message on-air is inconsistent with these representations.”

“Please confirm what Sinclair’s policy is regarding

Sinclair-produced mandated content for local news
anchors. Further, please clarify whether there will be
employment consequences for personnel at local stations
who refuse to deliver the scripted promotional message,”
Durbin concluded.

 Sarah Sanders Asked About Trump’s
‘Urgency’ To Protect Southern Border — She Drops A Wall
Benny Johnson - Reporter At Large
4:54 PM 04/04/2018
When Sarah Sanders took to the White House press
podium Wednesday, there seemed to be one question on
the minds of most reporters in the room.
“Why is Donald Trump sending the military
down to the US-Mexico border?”
President Donald Trump broke the news Tuesday that the
US military will be used to guard America’s southern
border.
“We are going to be guarding our border
with our military. That’s a big step,” the
president said, “We cannot have people
flowing into our country illegally,
disappearing, and by the way never
showing up for court.”
Sarah Sanders fielded a number of questions about
Trump’s declaration during the briefing. One reporter
asked about the “urgency” at which Trump was taking the
action and if a Fox News report had anything to do with
the proposal.
294
“This sense of urgency about sending the
National Guard to the border,” the reporter
asked, “does this have anything to do with
the report that the president saw on Fox
News?”
Sanders dropped a wall on the question.
“It has everything to do with protecting the
people of this country,” she said. “It
shouldn’t be a surprise. The president has
been talking about securing the border for
years. Since he started on the campaign
trail.”
Sanders then pivoted to blaming Congress for not funding
the border wall.
“He asked Congress to do their job. He
asked them to pass legislation that would
close loop holes that would secure our
border and build a wall. He asked them to
do a number of things. They failed time and
time again and now the president is making
sure that in between the Congress actually
doing something, he’s doing what he can to
protect the people of this country.”
Sanders added one final barb to Democrats in Congress,
saying
“Democrats apparently can’t show up and
do their jobs,” before moving on to the next
question.

 House Intel Chairman Threatens
Legal Action Against FBI, DOJ Over Russia Records
Chuck Ross - Reporter
6:00 PM 04/04/2018
The chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence is threatening legal action against the
Department of Justice and FBI for what he says is a failure
to comply with a subpoena for documents related to the
investigation of the Trump campaign.
In a letter sent Wednesday to FBI Director Christopher
Wray and deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
California Rep. Devin Nunes, the Intel Committee
chairman, said he is giving the FBI and Justice Department
until April 11 to provide the documents.
“Be advised that failure to comply in a
satisfactory manner will result in the
Committee pursuing all appropriate legal
remedies, including seeking civil
enforcement of the August 24 subpoenas
in federal district court,” he wrote in the
letter, which was obtained by The Daily
Caller News Foundation.
(RELATED: Nunes Presses Current And Former
Obama Officials Over Dossier)
One of the documents Nunes seeks is an FBI record known
as an Electronic Communication (EC) which laid out the
bureau’s rationale for opening the counterintelligence
investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded
with Russian operatives. Nunes is also demanding copies
of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
warrants taken out against former Trump campaign adviser
Carter Page.
.
297
Nunes and other Republicans have pressed the FBI and
DOJ for answers about the decision to open the
investigation into the Trump campaign as well as
investigators’ reliance on the unverified Steele dossier to
obtain FISA warrants to spy on Page. The
counterintelligence probe was reportedly opened on July
31, 2016, based on information about then-Trump
campaign aide George Papadopoulos.
The EC would seemingly contain information pertaining to
Papadopoulos and his contacts with Russia-linked
operatives.
The FBI and DOJ have provided some of the documents
sought by the Intelligence Committee, though Nunes says
they are heavily redacted.
“On March 14, 2018, Committee
investigators were given access to a still
heavily redacted version of the EC, which
— as I informed Director Wray the next day
via phone — was unsatisfactory,” Nunes
writes.
He said that the FBI’s congressional liaison told the
Intelligence Committee on March 23 that the bureau
“would refuse to further unredact the EC
based on its supposed sensitivity.”

Nunes insists that the document
“is not highly classified, and law
enforcement sources have apparently not
been shy about leaking to the press
information that the Department and
Bureau refuse to share with Congress.”
 Dirty Cop Mueller Now Questioning
Russian Oligarchs Traveling To US – Scans Electronics
By Cristina Laila
April 4, 2018, 7:18 Pm
Robert Mueller is desperate to keep his
Russia witch hunt alive so he can draw
a fat paycheck while he works to
destroy President Trump.
The Special Counsel is now questioning traveling Russian
Oligarchs as soon as they land in the US.
Mueller’s team of liberal hacks even went as far as
scanning one of the Russian’s electronic devices after his
private jet landed in New York.
CNN reported:
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has
taken the unusual step of questioning
Russian oligarchs who traveled into the
US, stopping at least one and searching his
electronic devices when his private jet
landed at a New York area airport,
according to multiple sources familiar with
the inquiry.
A second Russian oligarch was stopped
during a recent trip to the US, although it is
not clear if he was searched, according to a
person briefed on the matter.
Mueller’s team has also made an informal voluntary
document and interview request to a third Russian oligarch
who has not traveled to the US recently.
298
The situations have one thing in common: Investigators are
asking whether wealthy Russians illegally funneled cash
donations directly or indirectly into Donald Trump’s
presidential campaign and inauguration.
Investigators’ interest in Russian oligarchs has not been
previously reported. It reveals that Mueller’s team has
intensified its focus into the potential flow of money from
Russia into the US election as part of its wide-ranging
investigation into whether the Trump team colluded with
Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
It gets worse. According to sources, Mueller’s team is even
looking to see if any of these Russian Oligarchs have
investments in American companies or think tanks that
have PACs that may have donated to Trump’s campaign.
Basically Mueller is looking to see if any of these wealthy
Russians donated to Trump’s campaign as ‘straw donors.’
Meanwhile Bernie Sanders colluded with Australians and
was hit with a fine by the FEC.
Hillary Clinton illegally spied on Trump’s camp and also
took millions and millions of dollars from foreigners
through her slush fund Clinton Foundation, but Mueller is
roving around obsessing over Trump-Russia.
On Tuesday, Attorney Gregg Jarrett called on Rosenstein
and “unethical Mueller” to resign after a damning
Rosenstein memo surfaced.
In the heavily redacted memo, Robert Mueller admits
Rosenstein’s order appointing him to Special Counsel was
intentionally vague.
“This violates the special counsel law that
requires a specific statement of facts to be
investigated,” says Attorney Gregg Jarrett.

Investigator Reveals Glaring Contradiction In “Secret”
Manafort Memo (VIDEO)

Judicial Watch’s chief investigator Chris
Farrell joined the Fox Business Network

Robert Mueller’s authority (after raiding
the home of Trump campaign manager
Paul Manafort), should amount to his
termination.

Farrell:
“It’s a really gross abuse of due process. If
you’re going to charge somebody
criminally, there are procedures for doing
so. One of the fundamental pieces is called
Brady Material. That is if you’re going to
charge somebody and prosecute them
criminally, you have to put all the cards on
the table. You have to explain what it is
they are being charged with and how and
why.
You can’t have secret stuff, and that’s what really
happened here. You have Rosenstein, frankly, a guy who
has a long track record of weird abusive practices up in
Baltimore. Rosenstein issuing this secret authorization,
Manafort’s attorney saying
 ‘wait a minute, you’re outside the scope
of the special counsel authority grant,
what are you doing looking at stuff from

Trump administration?’ And then they
go, ‘oh wait a minute, we have a special
letter here. We get to go anywhere we
want and do anything we want.’
They are abusing the system. They’re
hunting for scalps and will do anything to
get them.
[…]
The thing that is particularly offensive
about this secret authorization is they
claimed it was classified and then they
submitted it to the courts. Well, which
one is it? Is it really a classified
document? Or is this something that
goes into the public record as part of a
criminal court proceeding? You can’t
have it both ways. There is even a
tension, a disconnect there that shows
you the way in which they are abusing

procedure to do any damn thing they
want. This alone is grounds to can
Rosenstein in my opinion.”
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Mueller and
Rosenstein presented to the courts a rebuttal for
Manafort’s latest action – they presented a previously
undisclosed memo to a federal court in Washington
supposedly addressing Manafort’s argument.
The memo is dated August 2nd, 2017 and is from
Rosenstein to Mueller supposedly directing Mueller to
look into Manafort actions with a Russian operative
perhaps before 2016.
This, however, is clearly outside the scope of Sessions’
recusal as argued by Manafort and doesn’t even address
Manafort’s argument that these actions are not for Mueller
to take or Rosenstein to order but are Sessions actions
alone as Attorney General.
In January, Manafort filed a civil lawsuit in a D.C. court
against Mueller, Rosenstein and the Justice Department,
alleging the special counsel went outside of the
investigation’s scope.

It is still not clear who provided Reid with the information
about Page.
It is not known whether Brennan would have passed the
information to Reid. Isikoff and Corn report that Glenn
Simpson, the founder of the opposition research firm that
commissioned the dossier, had not briefed Reid.
Marc Elias, a lawyer for the Clinton campaign, DNC, and
Reid’s super PAC, knew of the allegations against Page.
Elias, who hired Simpson’s firm, Fusion GPS, had also
relayed the information to Robby Mook, the Clinton
campaign manager, Isikoff and Corn reported.
“However Reid learned about the Page
allegation, his reference to a meeting with
‘sanctioned individuals’ was significant.
Though no reporters picked up on that
sentence, it was the first time Steele’s
unconfirmed reporting had seeped into the
public discourse,” the authors wrote.
Congressional investigators are interested in finding out if
Brennan, who is now an MSNBC analyst, pressured
Congress or the FBI to reveal details of the Russia
investigation. The House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence recently sent Brennan and other top Obama
administration officials letters with a list of questions
about their actions during the Russia probe. Brennan
provided a response to those questions last month.
Despite his formative role in the investigation, Brennan
has acknowledged that he was unsure at the time whether
collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian
government actually occurred.
“I don’t know whether such collusion
existed. I don’t know,” Brennan testified
before the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence on May 23,
2017.
“I don’t have sufficient information to make
a determination whether or not such
cooperation or complicity or collusion was
taking place, but I know there was a basis
to have individuals pull those threads,” he
said at another point during his testimony.
.
303
Brennan claimed that though he did not have conclusive
evidence of collusion, he believed
“there was a sufficient basis of information
and intelligence that required further
investigation by the bureau to determine
whether or not U.S. persons were actively
conspiring and colluding with Russian
officials.”
“I was concerned about because of known
Russian efforts to suborn” members of the
Trump campaign, he added.
Brennan did not identify who he believed may have been
suborned, but it is now believed that he was referring to
Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, another former
Trump campaign aide.
Papadopoulos was reportedly the impetus of the collision
investigation. In April 2016, he met in London with a
professor named Joseph Mifsud. Mifsud told
Papadopoulos that the Russian government had obtained
“thousands” of Clinton-related emails.
The next month, Papadopoulos met in a bar with
Alexander Downer, the Australian High Commissioner to
the United Kingdom. Downer allegedly claims that
Papadopoulos told him about hacked Clinton emails. Two
months later, that information was passed to the FBI. The
investigation into possible campaign collusion was opened
on July 31, 2016. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: A London
Meeting Before The Election Aroused George

In a Feb. 4 interview on “Meet the Press,” Brennan was
asked how U.S. intelligence obtained information about
Papadopoulos.
Brennan responded that he was not “going to get into
details about how it was acquired.”
“But the FBI has a very close relationship
with its British counterparts,” Brennan said.
“And so the FBI had visibility into a number
of things that were going on involving some
individuals who may have had some
affiliation with the Trump campaign.”
Attempts to reach Brennan were unsuccessful.
 SORRY SESSIONS: Here’s Why The Attorney General’s
New Policy On Enforcing Background Checks Will Fail
John Lott - President, Crime Prevention Research Center
2:47 AM 04/05/2018
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions promised last month
to “swiftly and aggressively prosecute” prohibited people
who try to buy guns. He even has a slogan for his
approach, calling them “Lie-and-Try” prosecutions.
Prohibited people who try to buy a gun are committing a
crime, and should be prosecuted. They commit perjury by
lying on the purchase form about their eligibility, and can
be punished by up to five years in prison. But while
Sessions is obviously well motivated, he is going to be
sorely disappointed if he thinks that there are a lot of these
cases to prosecute.
One would think that there would be more cases. From
2006 to 2015, the National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) denied gun purchases by 826,144
people. But all those denials led to only 488 prosecutions
in the whole ten-year period — fewer than 50 a year. Less
than half of these ended in convictions.
Sessions announced that they had made progress and
“already increased federal gun prosecutions to a 10-year
high.” To put that in perspective, the highest annual
number of NICS prosecutions for prohibited purchases was
122 in 2007. Even with a ten-fold increase in that number,
prosecutions would still constitute only 1 percent of the
120,000 denials we are now seeing each year.
Though it was fodder for a lot of political cheap shots, the
lack of prosecutions from 2006 to 2015 wasn’t a result of
Obama or Bush not wanting to enforce the law. The vast
majority of these denials just aren’t real cases. These “false
positives” are the result of an inefficient system that relies
only on birthdates and rough phonetic similarity of names.
As a result, the system often confuses law-abiding citizens
with criminals.
304
Criminals might be stupid, but they are not so dumb as to
purchase their guns through background checks. They get
guns just as easily as drug addicts get drugs, which isn’t
too surprising given that drug dealers often have access to
gun suppliers. Virtually the only people stopped from
buying guns are law-abiding people whose names the
background check system confuses with those of
criminals. These few additional cases mean going mean
prosecuting individuals whose offenses are decades old.
These people are hardly dangerous criminals.
And with such an inaccurate background check system,
notifying local authorities of a prohibited purchase is
worse than useless. A new Senate bill by Senators Pat
Toomey (R-PA) and Chris Coons (D-DE) proposes to do
just that. But unless the problem of false positives is
solved, this will just cause police to be deluged with many
tens of thousands of false alerts each year.
The Fix NICS bill working its way through Congress will
also likely create more problems than it actually fixes.
Throwing more names into the system without fixing the
false positives problem will mean denying law-abiding
Americans their right to buy firearms.
The people most impacted by the false positives are poor
minorities, since people tend to have names similar to
others in their racial groups. Because a high proportion of
Black and Hispanic males are prohibited from owning
guns, law-abiding minority males face the highest rate of
background-check mistakes.
Fortunately, there’s an easy fix. The government should be
required to use all of the information that it collects when
gun buyers fill out the form to buy a gun (e.g., exact
names, social security numbers, and addresses). If private
companies constantly confused innocent people with
criminals when doing background checks on employees,
lawsuits would drive them out of business.
Many Democrats don’t want to fix this because it would
eliminate their big talking point about 3 million dangerous
or prohibited people having been stopped from buying
guns since the instant background check system went into
effect in 1998. Many Republicans have also invested a lot
in attacking Obama and the Democrats for not enforcing
gun control laws and prosecuting more prohibited
purchasers.

 Sharyl Attkisson To Deep State:
Give Trump Same Interrogation Rules
As Crooked Hillary
By Jim Hoft

Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson proposed the Deep

State use the same interrogation rules for Trump in the
Russian witch hunt nothing-burger as they did for Crooked
Hillary when they let her off for a series of crimes.

Attkisson posted these items from the Deep State’s non of

Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Regarding President Trump’s interview with the Mueller

Special Counsel, perhaps all can agree it should be under
same terms the Justice Department gave Hillary Clinton:

1. An exoneration letter is drafted in advance.

2. Immunity is given to top Trump aides (and they’re
allowed to sit in on interview). (Continued)
3. Interview isn’t recorded.
4. Lead official (Mueller) doesn’t attend.
5. #2 official’s family has received large donations from
Trump political friends.
6. Prior to the interview, lead official meets privately on
plane tarmac with Trump’s wife
7. Main interviewer has expressed disdain for Trump’s
opponents, such as discussing an “insurance plan” with
higher-ups to undermine them. If the same terms aren’t
offered…Was Clinton’s interview process unfair? Or is
the one proposed for Trump unfair?

he’s let off the hook for any violations.
9. If Trump becomes a target, it should be referred to as a
“matter” not an investigation.

subpoenaed or relevant public records and wipe

 HERE IT IS=> The 10 Different Reasons
The Mueller Investigation Is Unconstitutional!
By Jim Hoft
April 5, 2018, 7:00 Am
The Mueller investigation is criminal and
corrupt and above all unconstitutional.
Here is a list of 10 reasons why the
Mueller investigation is unconsti-
tutional.
1. Rosenstein’s special counsel order
identifies collusion as the crime but no
such crime exists in US Law.
Gregg Jarrett at FOX News wrote when Mueller initially
brought charges against Manafort that Mueller is tasked
with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a
legal impossibility. He is being asked to do something that
is manifestly unattainable because there is no such thing as
the crime of collusion with foreign countries in the US
statutory code.
Jarrett wrote the most succinct article about the Trump –
Russia Collusion investigation to date. In his post Jarrett
makes many statements that are almost shocking, but none
more than the fact that the entire investigation is
lawless. Jarrett states the following about the recent
charges reported in the Russia collusion story –
George Papadopoulos pled guilty to a single charge of
making a false statement to the FBI.
He was not charged with so-called
“collusion” because no such crime exists
in American statutory law, except in anti-
trust matters.
308
It has no application to elections and political campaigns.
It is not a crime to talk to a Russian. Not that the media
would ever understand that. They have never managed to
point to a single statute that makes “colluding” with a
foreign government in a political campaign a crime, likely
because it does not exist in the criminal codes.
2. Mueller’s investigation exceeds the scope of
special counsel law which requires the scope of a
special counsel to be specific. Rosenstein created
the special counsel with a scope that is so broad it
is not supported by this law.
Paul Manafort sued the DOJ, Mueller and Rosenstein
because what they are doing is not supported by US Law
as noted previously by Jarrett. Manafort’s case also argues
in paragraph 33 that the special counsel put in place by
crooked Rosenstein gave crooked and criminal Mueller
powers that are not permitted by law –
But paragraph (b)(ii) of the Appointment Order purports to
grant Mr. Mueller further authority to investigate and
prosecute
“any matters that arose or may arise
directly from the investigation.”
That grant of authority is not authorized by DOJ’s special
counsel regulations.
It is not a “specific factual statement of the
matter to be investigated.”
Nor is it an ancillary power to address efforts to impede or
obstruct investigation under 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).
After Rosenstein and Mueller provided a document to the
court this past week, Gregg Jarrett tweeted that it was
additional support that Mueller’s investigation is
unconstitutional –
 Rod Rosenstein signed a FISA application to spy on
Trump but he never recused himself from the Mueller
investigation. In addition, Mueller brought in a team of
Obama and Clinton lackeys to form his investigative
team who had no intention of performing an independent
and objective investigation. The entire team is corrupt
lefties who have represented the Clinton Foundation or let
Hillary go in her obvious crimes related to her email
scandal. This group included the texting FBI scoundrels
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page whose texts lead to bias and
potential criminal actions.
3. Mueller accepted the special counsel position with
known conflicts of interest. 5. The Investigation exceeds the scope of Jeff
Sessions’ recusal of only 2016 campaign related
matters. Mueller’s scope is much broader.
Gregg Jarrett also called for Mueller to resign in June of
2017 stating the special counsel has an egregious conflict
Attorney Robert Barnes tweeted this argument this past
of interest.
week –
In a previous Fox News column, Jarrett stated:

The Washington Post reported that that

Robert Mueller is now investigating
President Trump for obstruction of justice,
examining not only the president’s alleged
statement to James Comey in their
February meeting, but also the firing of the
FBI Director.
If true, this development makes the
argument even more compelling that
Mueller cannot serve as special counsel.
He has an egregious conflict of interest.

The special counsel statute specifically prohibits Mueller

from serving if he has

“a personal relationship with any person 6. Rosenstein’s original authorization to Mueller

substantially involved in the investigation or extended to “Russia government collusion” in 2016
prosecution.” campaign only. By pressing charges against
Manafort for 2006 actions, Mueller’s scope is much
broader.
The language is mandatory. He “shall” disqualify himself.
Comey is substantially involved in the case. Indeed, he is
the central witness.

The two men and former colleagues have long been

friends, allies and partners. Agents have quipped that they
were joined at the hip while at the Department of Justice
and the FBI. They have a mentor-protégé relationship. The
likelihood of prejudice and favoritism is glaring and
severe.

So, it is incomprehensible that the man who is a close

friend of the star witness against the president… will now
determine whether the president committed a prosecutable
crime in his dealings with Mueller’s good friend.

4. Rosenstein and Mueller’s entire team have known

conflicts of interest.
309
7. Rosenstein does not have authorization over tax
crimes. Only the Assistant Attorney General in
charge of Tax Division can authorize indictments of
tax crimes.
8. Rosenstein’s letter tells Mueller only to look to
Rosenstein for clarification of Mueller’s
authorization. Rosenstein is not the Attorney
General of the United States, and could not
monopolize supervision of Mueller for matters that
did not relate to Sessions’ recusal.
9. By Rosenstein issuing his expanded authorization
to Mueller in secret, Rosenstein created a secret
inquisitor, unelected and un-appointed by elected
officials, with all the powers of the federal criminal
law enforcement, but none of the democratic
checks and balances.
310
10. The special counsel law requires that the Attorney
General create the special counsel when a criminal
investigation is warranted. There was no reason for
Rosenstein to create the special counsel that could
not have been addressed with other means, if
necessary.
According to the Cornell Law School, the law states that
the grounds for setting up a special counsel require the
following –
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney
General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will
appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that
criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted.
Because President Trump had committed no crimes, there
was no reason to create the special counsel in the first
place. Some may argue this and say Rosenstein had every
right to create the special counsel but now we know that
Rosenstein created the special counsel and appointed
former FBI Head Robert Mueller to lead the investigation
because they wanted unlimited resources to investigate the
President and to remove him from power by any means
possible.
 For political reasons President Trump is
not shutting down the unconstitutional
and corrupt Mueller investigation at this
time but AG Jeff Sessions has every
right and even the duty to reign in on it
or shut it down.
Robert Barnes wrote this past week at Law and Crimes
that –
Paul Manafort‘s legal team brought a motion to dismiss on
Tuesday, noting that Rosenstein could not appoint Mueller
to any investigation outside the scope of the 2016
campaign since Sessions did not recuse himself for
anything outside the campaign. I agree with this take on
Mueller’s authority. If we follow that argument that would
mean Sessions himself has exclusive authority to appoint a
special counsel for non-collusion charges, and Sessions
has taken no such action. Sessions himself should make
that clear to Mueller, rather than await court resolution.
Doing so would remove three of the four areas of inquiry
from Mueller’s requested interview with President Trump.
Sessions formally notifying Mueller that he does not have
authority to act outside of campaign-related cases and
cases related to obstruction of Mueller’s investigation
would be doing what the Constitution compels: enforcing
the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Additionally,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority
to act outside of campaign-related cases would be
exercising Sessions’ court-recognized Consti-
tutional obligation to “direct and supervise litigation”
conducted by the Department of Justice. Furthermore,
Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority
.
311
to act outside of campaign-related cases protects against
the inappropriate use of the federal grand jury that
defendant Manafort now rightly complains about.
Sessions limiting Mueller to the 2016 campaign would
also be restoring confidence in democratic institutions, and
restore public faith that democratically elected officials.
One thing to remember about Sessions’ recusal:
Sessions only recused himself from “any
existing or future investigations of any
matters related in any way to the
campaigns for President of the United
States.” This recusal letter limits the scope
of Sessions’ recusal to the 2016
campaigns; it does not authorize Sessions’
recusal for anything beyond that.
Constitutionally, Sessions has a “duty to
direct and supervise litigation” conducted
by the Department of Justice. Ethically,
professionally, and legally, Sessions
cannot ignore his supervisory obligations
for cases that are not related to the
“campaigns for President.”
For the above reasons, we are currently
in a constitutional crisis. If AG Sessions
will not uphold the law per his duties
per the constitution, then Sessions
should go! America cannot stand with
an AG that does not uphold his duties
and obligations and who allows this
unconstitutional witch hunt to continue!

“A subject is somebody who is the topic of

Napolitano claimed Mueller may have purposely said

Trump is not a target to get him to let his guard down.

False Sense Of Security - Fox & Friends 4-5-18
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano suspects
special counsel Robert Muller may be luring President
Donald Trump into a “false sense of security” by claiming
he is a “subject” not a “target” of the Russia probe.
Napolitano said Trump should be careful about letting his
guard down and thinks Muller may just be getting started.
“[Trump] is not at this moment a
target,” Napolitano said. “I say at this
moment because this can change
depending upon what evidence comes to
them.”
.
“There is a theory that this statement was
made by Bob Mueller in an off handed way
so that people like the rest of us would talk
about it and the president will have a false
sense of security going into the interview,”
Napolitano said.
“Stay away from that, Mr. President. That
interview environment is extremely
dangerous. If he is the subject and not yet
a target and they want him to become a
target, they’re going to ask him questions.

For 50 Years [VIDEO]

Joe Scarborough said President Donald Trump is living in

an “alternate reality” with his immigration policy, but then
claimed the southern border is more secure than it’s been

“We’re really living though here in an

 Trump Takes Credit For
Breaking Up Caravan Of Illegals

Trump has railed against the caravan in recent days

threatening to sink NAFTA negotiations with Mexico if
they did not stop it and even threatening foreign aid to
Honduras for allowing so many of its citizens to depart
bound with the intention to illegally emigrate.

President Donald Trump took credit for the breakup of a

migrant caravan of Central Americans making their way
through Mexico bound for the U.S. border, in a Thursday
tweet.

“I told Mexico very strongly: You’re going to

have to do something about these
caravans that are coming up. And I just

 Pruitt Allies Warn Trump — Fire Him
And Your Agenda Comes To A Grinding Halt

Administrator Scott Pruitt have a stark message for
President Donald Trump: Remove Pruitt and your agenda
will come to a grinding halt, emboldening your opponents.
Democrats and environmental activists are increasingly
calling for Pruitt’s removal over mounting ethics concerns,
including his previous living arrangement and giving
employees raises over White House objections.
Trump and Pruitt have enjoyed a close working
relationship. Trump called Pruitt on Monday to tell him
“we’ve got your back,” but since then the White House
said Trump is “not” okay with the administrator’s short-
term lease with the wife of a D.C. lobbyist.
“We’re reviewing the situation. When we
have had a chance to have a deeper dive
on it, we’ll let you know the outcomes of
that,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders told reporters on Wednesday.
Axios reports Trump has his “finger in the
wind” on the matter.
But conservatives are rallying to Pruitt’s defense, pointing
out that, should he leave EPA, Trump’s deregulatory
agenda would grind to a halt — playing into the hands of
anti-Trumpers.
“That is really what would happen if Pruitt
was asked to leave,” Tom Pyle, president
of the American Energy Alliance, told The
Daily Caller News Foundation. Pyle headed
Trump’s Energy Department transition
team in 2016.
316
“It would take months for the Senate to
confirm somebody, and whoever they
confirm would be more like Christine Todd
Whitman than Pruitt,” said Pyle, referring to
the former New Jersey governor and EPA
chief under President George W. Bush.
“It’d be like removing your star wide
receiver in the middle of the game. It would
slow down the process and make it harder
for the administration to achieve their
objectives,” Pyle said.
Pruitt has aggressively rolled back Obama administration
EPA regulations, including the Clean Power Plan and
Waters of the U.S. rule. EPA’s year-in-review report
claimed up to $1 billion in regulations were repealed in
Pruitt’s first year.
Conservative pundits also came to Pruitt’s defense,
pointing out the administrator’s success in rolling back
regulations and reforming EPA science policies make him
a prime target for Democrats.
“Scott Pruitt and his team are doing an
outstanding job implementing President
Trump’s ambitious de-regulatory agenda,
which is designed to restore robust growth
to resource and energy-intensive
manufacturing industries that have been
stagnant for the past decade,” said Myron
Ebell, director of energy and global
warming policy at the Competitive
Enterprise Institute.
Should Pruitt be removed, he has no Trump-appointed
successor in place. Andrew Wheeler, the nominee to be
Pruitt’s number two, still awaits Senate approval, and the
career official acting in Wheeler’s place is also set to
retire.
“You’d have a caretaker who’d be less
emboldened to unwind the previous
president’s climate power grab,” Pyle said.
Ebell said Pruitt’s departure would “definitely slow down
the progress being made” on clawing back Obama-era
climate and energy regulations.
 “That’s why I don’t think Scott Pruitt is
going anywhere,” Ebell told TheDCNF.
Ebell headed Trump’s EPA transition team
in 2016.
However, news reports suggest more negative headlines
could change Trump’s mind about Pruitt. Pruitt opponents
in the White House and the bureaucracy suggest more
negative stories are coming.
Democrats and activists behind the “Boot Pruitt” campaign
are just getting started. They will file more records
requests and work with EPA employees to push any
negative news about the former Oklahoma attorney
general.
.
317
“The environmental movement in total is all
in for the removal of Scott Pruitt,” Lukas
Ross, a campaigner at Friends of the
Earth, told Bloomberg. “I think you are
going to see escalating pressure in the
coming days, especially on the Senate
side, to get members to commit publicly
that Pruitt should be fired.”
Bloomberg reports that environmentalists “are scouring
Pruitt’s real estate transactions, records from his time as
Oklahoma’s attorney general and documentation of his
travel for any tantalizing detail.”
“What is clearly taking place is a smear
campaign by the environmental left and
mainstream media, in part,” said Pyle.
 Investigators Zero In On John Brennan’s Role In Steele
Dossier As Ex-Secret Service Agent Warns Obama
CIA Chief Is In ‘World Of Trouble’
By Joshua Caplan
April 5, 2018, 9:17 Am
A new report by the Daily Caller says
House investigators have begun to zero
in on former CIA chief John Brennan’s
role in the anti-Trump dossier authored
by ex-British spy agent Christopher
Steele.
Daily Caller reports:
A book published in March offered a
startling but little-noticed revelation about
former CIA Director John Brennan.
According to “Russian Roulette,” Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid believed
Brennan was using him as a conduit to
publicize possible links between Trump
campaign associates and the Russian
government.
Brennan’s contacts with Reid — and other
activities during the 2016 presidential
campaign — are of “significant” interest to
congressional investigators trying to figure
out the ex-spy’s early role in the Russia
investigation, The Daily Caller News
Foundation is told.
“By his own account, Brennan played a
prominent role in starting the investigation
of Trump’s team,” a congressional source
with direct knowledge of the House of
Representatives’ Russia investigations tells
TheDCNF.
318
“Investigators in Congress suspect there
are important details about his role that he
hasn’t revealed, and we’re trying to get to
the bottom of it.”
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has warned
Brennan is in a “world of trouble right now,” over his
testimony on the dubious Steele dossier.
Newsmax reports:
“My sources on this are telling me John
Brennan is in a world of trouble right now,”
Bongino told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends”
program.
“Back in August of 2016 he gives a private
briefing to Sen. Harry Reid, Democrat, of
course. He gives that briefing to Reid. Reid
fires off a letter to the FBI. In that letter is
information that clearly came from the
dossier.”
That means that at that point, Brennan was
aware of the dossier, but in May of 2017,
under oath, he denied knowing who
commissioned it, said Bongino, a frequent
Fox News commentator and owner of “The
Dan Bongino Show” podcast.
“The CIA has a central role in the
verification of foreign assets and
information we get from foreign assets,”
Bongino said. “It is not plausibly deniable
that John Brennan did not know who
commissioned that dossier he is in a world
of trouble because he raised his right hand
and he said the exact opposite.”
As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported, the former
Obama CIA Director previously stated on Meet the
Press that he believes that House Intelligence Committee
Chairman Nunes abused his office by releasing the FISA
memo on Friday. Brennan also said that the dossier did not
play any role whatsoever in early intelligence assessments.
 House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes
is investigating whether Brennan played a role in
disseminating the Steele dossier, zeroing in on claims the
former Obama official may have perjured himself in a
public testimony about the document.

Mainstream Media Continues To Plummet

Leadership Conference on June 16, 2011 at the Hilton Riverside New
Orleans in New Orleans. (Photo: ShutterStock - Christopher
Halloran)
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich highlighted
President Donald Trump’s rise in the polls and the collapse
of the “elite media,” in an op-ed for Fox News Thursday.
“Imagine the frustration building in elite
media offices across the country. Lately,
the members of the elite media have been
relentlessly bashing President
Trump,” Gingrich wrote. “In weaving
together this false narrative, members of
the elite media are collectively building an
effort to uplift left-wing values and diminish
the achievements of conservative
leadership – specifically the Trump
administration.”
Gingrich noted the media’s efforts have been in vain
because Trump’s approval ratings continue to rise. He
cited a recent CNN poll showing Trump’s approval rating
up from 35 percent in February to 42 percent in March.
“The result was so shocking that CNN
commentator Chris Cillizza, who is
normally deeply anti-Trump, had to spend
time analyzing the voter blocs in which
Trump performed significantly better in
March than he did in February,” Gingrich
.
321
wrote. “Cillizza called the increases among
younger and college educated voters
‘intriguing,’ and said they were ‘most likely’
due to the passage of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act.”
The former speaker also cited a Rasmussen report showing
that American believe the media has a liberal agenda and
are heavily biased against the Trump administration. This
coupled with the success of Trump’s first year in office has
him hovering at a 50 percent approval rating .
“The elite media’s intense and pervasive
hostility has begun to vaccinate the
American people against its opposition to
President Trump,” he wrote. “At the same
time, the Trump presidency has a lot of
good things going for it. The Republican tax
cuts are working. People are getting
bonuses and pay raises, and they are
seeing companies beginning to reinvest in
America.”
The caravan of illegal immigrants coming to the border
also helped give Trump a boost and called the “stunt” an
opportunity for the administration, Gingrich said.
“Whoever thought up the stunt of gathering
more than 1,000 Central Americans in a
caravan to travel across a complicit Mexico
toward the U.S. border had no idea of the
opportunity they were giving President
Trump,” Gingrich wrote. “If we ever needed
to demonstrate the case for a strong border
wall, this supposed Central American
invasion of our southern border will
convince most Americans.”
“This may all change, but for the moment,
President Trump is winning and the elite
media is not,” he added.
 Former Obama Economic Adviser Larry Summers
Compares Trump To Mussolini For Attacking Amazon
Nick Givas - Media And Politics Reporter
10:04 AM 04/05/2018

Larry Summers, former President Barack Obama’s

previous economic adviser, compared President Donald
Trump’s treatment of Amazon to Italian dictator Benito
Mussolini, Thursday on CNN’s “New Day.”

“Picking winners and losers is problematic.

Going on jihads with the power of the
federal government against companies
whose CEO’s private activity he doesn’t
find congenial, that’s not the stuff of
democracy,” Summers said. “That’s the
stuff of much more totalitarian countries.”
“Make no mistake, that’s a Mussolini tactic,
not an American tactic,” he added. “It’s one
that’s potentially quite dangerous for our
business confidence.”
Summers claimed Amazon has done actions worthy of an
investigation, but accused Trump of going on a personal
vendetta against Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
“Are there issues about predatory pricing or
whatever that appropriate experts should
be monitoring with respect to Amazon? Of
course,” he said. “But for the president of
the United States to go on an attack
against a particular company motivated by
a private holding of its CEO, that is not the
American way.”
WATCH:
Summers believes this type of behavior should trouble
most Americans as well as pro-business Republicans.
“That is something that should make
Americans, and frankly, it should make pro-
business Republicans who seem most
strongly the benefits of American
corporations, it should make them most
nervous,” Summers said.
“It’s a kind of thing that, if a liberal
Progressive Democrat did, they would be
berserk about how dangerous it was for the
economy,” he concluded.
This isn’t the first time Trump has been compared to a
dictator. MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski said Trump is either a
dictator in the making or is “not well,” in June 2017.
“Morning Joe” regular John Heilemann compared Trump
to a banana republic dictator in October. Also, New York
Times reporter Nick Confessore said Trump could be a
“dictator in a third world country” after he won the
Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll in
February.

 Trump May Repeal An Endangered Species Act Rule
That’s Punished Landowners For Decades
Michael Bastasch
10:16 AM 04/05/2018
The Trump administration proposed repealing a decades-
old Endangered Species Act (ESA) policy that critics say
undermines congressional intent and offers landowners no
incentive to aid in the recovery of federally-protected
species.
Should the Interior Department repeal the so-called
“blanket section 4(d) rule,” it would be “a big win for the
rule of law and species’ conservation,” said Pacific Legal
Foundation (PLF) attorney Jonathan Wood.
“If the regulation is repealed, we’d be back
to Congress’ original approach: take would
be reserved as a last line of defense for
endangered species,” Wood told The Daily
Caller News Foundation.
It’s probably an esoteric issue to most Americans, but to
landowners and businesses, primarily in the Western U.S.,
the “blanket” extension of ESA protections to “threatened”
species has punished them for decades. A “take” of a
protected species can bring massive civil and criminal
penalties.
“Private property owners’ incentives are
key because most endangered species
depend on private land for most of their
habitat,” Wood said. “This reform will
improve those incentives and make it
easier for states, property owners, and
environmentalists to work together on
innovative conservation plans.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service extended “take”
protections to species listed as “threatened” under the
ESA, despite Congress wanting federal agents to regulate
“threatened” species different from those classified as
“endangered.”
Federal officials adopted the “blanket” rule shortly after
the ESA became law in 1973. Officials say the “blanket”
rule to streamline compliance and focus “attention on the
threats that make a difference to the species’ recovery,”
according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
That means there’s no incentive for landowners to help
keep species protected under the ESA from becoming
.

“endangered,” since the “take” regulations are no different
if even if animals become more abundant.
Environmentalists, however, say Interior’s proposal would
end protections for more than 300 species under ESa
protection. One group called the rule change a “death
sentence” for protected species.
“The Trump administration just issued a
death sentence to nearly 300 threatened
species,” Noah Greenwald of the Center for
Biological Diversity said in a statement.
“If enacted, this rule could be the end for
iconic wildlife like the northern spotted owl
and southern sea otter,” Greenwald said.
“Trump is erasing America’s natural
heritage to make his friends richer and
allow polluters to ravage our environment.
It’s disgraceful.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service defines a “take” as an
attempt to “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect or attempt to engage in any such
conduct” of an ESA-protected species.
Taking an ESA-protected species can bring hefty civil and
criminal penalties. PLF filed two petitions — on behalf of
the National Federation of Independent Businesses and
Washington Cattlemen’s Association — calling for the
“blanket” rule to be repealed.
Interior’s proposed repeal of the “blanket” rule is in
response to those petitions. Wood hopes the repeal will go
through and give landowners an incentive to revive
populations of threatened species.
“From the owners’ perspective, the damage
is done once a threatened listing occurs,”
said Wood. “Varying regulations based on
the degree of threats a species faces better
aligns the incentives of property owners
with the interests of species, lifting
restrictions as species recover and
tightening them as species decline.”
 Deep State John Brennan Lashes Out At Trump As
Investigators Zero In On His Shady Past
By Jim Hoft
April 5, 2018, 11:25 Am

So it’s really not a surprise this partisan former CIA chief

is lashing out at President Trump.

On Wednesday John Brennan attacked President Trump

again on Twitter.

A new report released Thursday by the Daily Caller says

House investigators have begun to zero in on former CIA
chief John Brennan’s role in the anti-Trump dossier
authored by ex-British spy agent Christopher Steele.

According to the report posted earlier today by Josh

Caplan the former Senate Minority leader Harry Reid
believed Brennan was using him in order to publicize
pretend links between Trump campaign associates and the
Russian government.

In May 2017, under oath, Brennan denied knowing who

commissioned the scurrilous anti-Trump Russian dossier
that was used to spy on Trump, his campaign, his family, Let’s hope justice catches up soon to
and his administration. This was likely a lie by Brennan. this corrupt Deep State leader.

 Adam Schiff Attacks Nunes For Demanding Unredacted
Documents From FBI As ‘Effort To Undermine Mueller’
By Cristina Laila
April 5, 2018, 1:00 Pm
Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) turned up
the heat this week after calling for
Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein and FBI Director
Christopher Wray to hand over
unredacted documents related to the
agency’s Russia witch hunt.
Sara Carter previously reported:
Chairman Devin Nunes, R-CA, sent the
letter to Department of Justice Assistant
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI
Director Christopher Wray warning them
that their lack of compliance with the
committee’s original Aug. 24, 2017
subpoena to turn over all requested
documents could result in “the Committee
pursuing all appropriate legal remedies,
including seeking civil enforcement” in a
federal district court. The committee gave
the FBI and DOJ until April 11 to turn over
all the documentation requested.
325
The request for the un-redacted version of
the originating “electronic communication”
is new and it reveals that the committee is
looking into the FBI’s initiation of the
investigation into alleged collusion between
President Trump and Russia in the 2016
presidential election. The document would
be a detailed report of the FBI’s reasoning
to move forward with the investigation into
the Trump campaign after the bureau was
informed by Australian authorities of a
conversation Trump campaign
advisor George Papadopoulos had with
one of their diplomats at a London bar.
The FBI and DOJ have been stonewalling House Intel
Chairman Nunes and House Judiciary Chairman Bob
Goodlatte after they have repeatedly requested the
agencies for documents related to how the Russia
investigation began in the first place.
It is very clear the FBI and DOJ are hiding their criminal
actions.
We already know Obama’s criminal and corrupt FBI and
DOJ used Hillary’s fraudulent Russia dossier as a pretext
to illegally spy on Trump’s campaign.
“To this date, the Department has only
produced a fraction of the documents that
have been requested,” Goodlatte wrote to
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
“Given the Department’s ongoing delays in
producing these documents, I am left with
no choice but to issue enclosed subpoena
to compel production of these documents,”
Goodlatte continued.
Leaker, liar and shill for Putin, Adam Schiff (D-CA)
lashed out at Chairman Nunes for aggressively seeking the
unredacted documents.
Politico reported Schiff said in a statement,
“With their most recent letter, the majority is

 Nancy Pelosi Vows Democrats Will Raise Taxes If They
Take Back The House At A “Repeal The Trump Tax”
Town Hall (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
April 5, 2018, 2:25 Pm
Nancy Pelosi wants to take away your tax
cuts crumbs.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
said Wednesday in a Culver City town hall
the Democrats will repeal the GOP tax cuts if
they take back the House in the 2018
midterm elections.
Nancy Pelosi and Ted Lieu appeared at a Culver City,
California town hall as part of a “Repeal the Trump Tax”
tour on Wednesday.
The room full of liberal sheep frantically sent a barrage of
social media messages to D.C. demanding a repeal of
328
Trump’s tax bill after Dem leaders urged them to join the
rebellion against the GOP.
“Over 80 % of the benefits go to the top 1%. 86
million middle class families will see a tax
increase while they advertise it as a middle
class bill,” Nancy Pelosi said to the group of
liberal sheep.
Radical left-wing Rep. Ted Lieu then chimed in,
“It is going to result in deep cuts to Social
Security, to Medicare, to all these critical
programs that serve a lot of Americans.”
There is no evidence to back up Ted Lieu’s claims, but
when do facts matter to Democrats?
The “Repeal the Trump Tax” tour is set to hold 100
nationwide events on the weekend of April 14th, ABC
News reported.
The Democrats are running on a platform of raising taxes
and keeping our borders wide open. If they aren’t stopped,
they will permanently entrench their party with a huge
amnesty push as soon as they are able.
Watch the liberal sheep attending the town hall demand
Trump’s tax cuts be repealed:
 Buzzfeed Publishes Insane Wikileaks-Guccifer Conspiracy
Theory, Inadvertently Proves The Opposite
By Cassandra Fairbanks
April 5, 2018, 4:29 Pm

Buzzfeed is continuing to push the bizarre conspiracy

theory that Guccifer 2.0 was behind WikiLeaks’ email leak
from the Democratic National Committee — but instead
they just proved, yet again, that the shadowy figure was
not the original source.

The author was reporting on alleged leaked direct

messages between an activist named Emma Best, who had
been angling for Guccifer 2.0 to provide her with leaked
documents, and someone using the WikiLeaks Twitter
account.

“[I] gonna send a large trove to wikileaks,”

Again, this is nearly a month after the initial
Guccifer 2.0 allegedly told Best in August, 2016.
DNC leaks were published by
Best then messaged WikiLeaks and conveyed
WikiLeaks. They never published anything
what the anonymous account had told her.
from the DCCC.

“I told them that Guccifer 2.0 was considering

giving me at least part of the cache, which is
when they asked me to be their ‘agent,’ which
they said I would get ‘credit’ for,” Best claimed
to BuzzFeed. She said that at this point she
stopped messaging Guccifer 2.0 and she did
not act as an intermediary.

If WikiLeaks had already received documents from

Guccifer, why would they have needed a go-between for
new ones? WikiLeaks had already published the bulk of
their leak on July 22.
On August 12, 2016, Guccifer 2.0 also tweeted that they
would be sending a large trove of Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee documents to
WikiLeaks.
Documents shared by Guccifer 2.0 appeared to have
Russian fingerprints deliberately placed on them,
according to experts, but the establishment who seeks to
discredit WikiLeaks have ran with the story claiming that
that the “hacker” was a Russian military officer and behind
all of it.

329
Last year, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity
(VIPS) — a 30 member group made up of well respected
former experts from the National Security Administration,
tech companies, and other intelligence agencies, released a
letter detailing their analysis of what the Guccifer 2.0
account was all about.
The report from VIPS states that “forensic
studies of “Russian hacking” into
Democratic National Committee computers
last year reveal that on July 5, 2016, data
was leaked (not hacked) by a person with
physical access to DNC computer. After
examining metadata from the “Guccifer 2.0”
July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server,
independent cyber investigators have
concluded that an insider copied DNC data
onto an external storage device.”
Additionally, the former intelligence operatives detail how
the FBI neglected to perform any independent forensics on
the original “Guccifer 2.0,” and assert that
“the reason the U.S. government lacks
conclusive evidence of a transfer of a ‘Russian
hack’ to WikiLeaks is because there was no
such transfer.”
Among those who signed on to the report is William
Binney, former NSA Technical Director for World
Geopolitical & Military Analysis; Co-founder of NSA’s
Signals Intelligence Automation Research Center, Larry C
Johnson, who is retired from the CIA & State Department,
Kirk Wiebe, former Senior Analyst at SIGINT Automation
Research Center of the NSA, and many more.
“There was no hack of the Democratic
National Committee’s system on July 5 last
year—not by the Russians, not by anyone
else. Hard science now demonstrates it was
a leak—a download executed locally with a
memory key or a similarly portable data-
.
330
storage device. In short, it was an inside job
by someone with access to the DNC’s
system. This casts serious doubt on the
initial ‘hack,’ as alleged, that led to the very
consequential publication of a large store of
documents on WikiLeaks last summer,”
Patrick Lawrence wrote for the Nation.
Lawrence went on to detail the findings in a report by a
cyber expert who goes by the moniker “the Forensicator.”
The analyst found that the transfer took place at speeds of
23 MB/s, which means that a remote data transfer over the
internet would be extremely unlikely. Instead, the report
states that a more likely scenario would be “that the
individual who was collecting the data either had physical
access to the computer where the data was stored, or the
data was copied over a local high speed network (LAN).”
“This initial copying activity was done on a
system where Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
settings were in force. Most likely, the computer
used to initially copy the data was located
somewhere on the East Coast,” Forensicator
reported.
In their conclusion, they asserted that they believe the files
were obtained by plugging a USB drive directly into a
DNC computer.
Buried at the end of his lengthy conspiracy theory in
BuzzFeed, Kevin Collier admitted that
“files that Guccifer 2.0 published on its
WordPress account don’t appear in Assange’s
first release in 2016 of hacked Democratic files,
which WikiLeaks calls the DNC Email Archive
on its website.”
He also acknowledged that the conversation between Best
and WikiLeaks occured after DNC emails had already
been published by WikiLeaks.
 REVEALED: Andrew McCabe’s Gofundme Campaign
Was Run By Ex-Obama Official’s K Street Firm
By Joshua Caplan
April 5, 2018, 4:58 Pm
A new report shows fired FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe’s GoFundMe
campaign was run by a K Street firm owned
by a former Obama official.
Law & Crime reports:
Was this apparent “grassroots effort” actually a
PR campaign put together by high-priced, well-
connected, and experienced PR professionals
in order to take advantage of the #Resistance’s
seething anger at the Trump administration? A
Monday report in Slate suggested as
much. Law&Crime can now confirm that some
of those allegations are true, while some of
them appear to oversell the issues at hand. […]
Melissa Schwartz is a crisis and
communications consultant who currently works
for The Bromwich Group. After previously
working for then-Senator Barbara Mikulski, the
Department of Justice, and the Bureau of
Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement (where she served under her
once-and-future boss), Schwartz joined The
Bromwich Group as their chief operating officer
in 2012. She’s also McCabe’s present
spokesperson.
The Bromwich Group is a K Street consulting
and PR firm headed by Michael R. Bromwich.
Immediately prior to founding the firm,
Bromwich served as the first director of
the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
under President Barack Obama.
331
The campaign, which has raised $554,520, ceased taking
donations on April 2nd.
In response to the outpour of support, McCabe issued the
following statement:
“The outpouring of support on GoFundMe has
been simply overwhelming and has led to
contributions that have left us stunned and
extraordinarily grateful. The GoFundMe
campaign began organically, with generous
people spontaneously giving to accounts that
others had set up. I never imagined that I would
need to rely on this type of assistance. The fact
is that if I am going to continue taking a stand
against the unfair way I have been treated, I will
need the help of a talented and courageous
team behind me,” the statement read.
“Hopefully our efforts, fueled by your incredible
support, will encourage others to stand up for
themselves, and the truth, as well. It is not lost
on me that each contribution reflects not just
someone’s well wishes, but also their
acknowledgement that something in this
situation is not fair or just. We wish to thank
every donor from the bottom of our hearts for
your support.”
Earlier this month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired
McCabe on the recommendation of FBI disciplinary
officials.
“Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded
that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized
disclosure to the news media and lacked
candor − including under oath − on multiple
occasions,” Sessions said in a statement.
According to The New York Times and Washington Post,
Inspector General Michael Horowitz is set
to accuse McCabe of not only leaking to the media but
then misleading the Justice Department about it.
The New York Times reported:
 A Justice Department review is expected to
criticize the former F.B.I. deputy director,
Andrew G. McCabe, for authorizing the
disclosure of information about a continuing
investigation to journalists, according to four
people familiar with the inquiry.
.
332
The disgraced FBI official reportedly authorized
a leak to the Wall Street Journal, leading to an
October 2016 article revealing an internal
dispute between FBI and Justice Department
officials about how to handle the Clinton email
investigation after discovering classified emails
on former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s
laptop.

According to the deranged Democrat Senator, building a

misuse of taxpayer money.

Kamala Harris would rather use taxpayer money to pay for

food, housing, education and medical assistance to the
invaders. Let that sink in.

Kamala Harris tweeted: Funding Trump’s unrealistic

border wall would be a gross misuse of taxpayer money.

James Woods moved in with a kill shot.

Woods responded to Kamala Harris, “Like your salary?”

 Mueller Obtains New Search Warrant On Paul Manafort
“Relating To Ongoing Investigations” That Are NOT The
Subject Of Current Prosecutions
By Cristina Laila
April 5, 2018, 9:30 Pm

According to a new court filing, Special Counsel

Robert Mueller has obtained a new search
warrant on Trump’s former campaign manager
Paul Manafort in March of this year relating to
ongoing investigations that are not the subject
of either of the current prosecutions.

“News: Mueller’s office obtained search

What are these search warrants for if not for the subject of

Brad Heath reported in a tweet thread:

“It’s possible there were other Manafort bullet

“Mueller’s office executed a bunch of search

here that only six were for searches of his stuff
(things for which he had property or possessory

 New Information About Andrew Mccabe’s Firing Surfaces
By Cristina Laila
April 5, 2018, 10:27 Pm
Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew
McCabe was fired from the bureau last
month for committing three violations of the
bureau’s ethics code, an investigative
source told Fox News on Thursday.
Fox News reported:
The violations initially were uncovered by the
Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector
General and confirmed by the FBI’s Office of
Professional Responsibility. They included lack
of candor under oath, lack of candor when not
under oath, and the improper disclosure of non-
public information to the media about the FBI
investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
The violations stemmed from McCabe’s
response to an October 2016 Wall Street
Journal report about sizeable campaign
donations from Democrats to McCabe’s wife,
Jill, during her campaign for the Virginia State
Senate. The investigation found that McCabe
instructed FBI lawyer Lisa Page and FBI public
affairs chief Michael Kortan to work with the
Journal’s reporter to set the record straight.
The source said Page’s statements to
investigators were “critical” because they
directly contradicted her boss, McCabe.
According to the source, McCabe’s lack of candor about
the contact with the Journal reporter led to his firing. The
.
347
source added that Page’s testimony about the matter
contradicted McCabe’s. Then-FBI Director James Comey
claimed he never authorized the leak to the Journal.
McCabe’s lawyer Michael Bromwich maintains McCabe
never misled Comey and claims Comey knew McCabe
was speaking with the Wall Street Journal, in a statement
to Fox News:
“Mr. McCabe’s interaction with the Wall Street
Journal – which by FBI rule and practice he was
fully authorized to do – was not done in secret:
it took place over the course of several days
and others knew of it, including Director
Comey. Now, after a failure to justify the
process by which Mr. McCabe was terminated
with 26 hours to his retirement after more than
21 years of service, it appears that members of
the House of Representatives are attempting to
selectively and unfairly leak pieces of
information from a report that is not public. We
understand that these members are attempting
to create a false narrative that pits former
Director Comey against Mr. McCabe. We
deeply regret being compelled to respond to
this selective leaking with any comment at all.
Nevertheless, one thing is clear: Mr. McCabe
never misled Director Comey.”
An internal FBI report about former FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s firing
includes a testimony from his former boss
James Comey that shows a “discrepancy”
with McCabe’s public statements over
his contact with the Wall Street Journal,
according to a report by CNN.
According to CNN, Comey held a briefing on October
31st, 2016 and stressed to the bureau how damaging the
leaks are to an ongoing investigation. According to the
report, Comey recalls McCabe denied authorizing any FBI
officials to speak to the Wall Street Journal.
It appears either McCabe or Comey are lying and given
their track record of being dirty cops, it’s difficult to
determine who isn’t being truthful in this recent report.

 GOOD: Trump To Skip Unfunny, Fake-News Filled,
White House Correspondents’ Dinner (Again)
By Lucian Wintrich
April 6, 2018, 10:36 Am

When asked whether he would attend the 2018 White

House Correspondents’ Dinner a WABC radio interview
this Friday morning, President Trump said: “I probably
won’t.” When pressed for more information, the president
said, “So bad and so fake.” It’s a sentiment that can be
echoed by most of America, with a recent survey citing
only 32 percent of Americans would even claim they have
either “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in the
mainstream media. It certainly doesn’t help that this is the
second year in a row that the White House Correspon-
dents’ Association enlisted an incredibly unfunny
comedian; last year, they had the Daily Show’s tone-
deaf Hasan Minhaj attempt to deliver a series of anti-
Trump jokes, this year they hired (you guessed it) the
Daily Show’s Michelle Wolf.

Shortly after Trump’s morning interview, the White House
Correspondents’ Association released a statement sent to
them by the White House.
President Trump has been the only sitting president to skip
the dinner aside from Ronald Reagan. Unlike last year,
however, President Trump has encouraged his staff to take
part in the dinner if they wish, and has enlisted Sarah
Huckabee Sanders to represent the administration during
the dinner.

and stay up late and not follow the rules.”

Michelle Obama is another delusional leftist. President

Trump’s victory was a repudiation of her husband’s failed
policies.

Americans are fed up with ultra-left wing, Anti-American

radicals which is why Hillary got crushed in the 2016
election.

Democrats also lost over 1,000 seats while Obama was

president, so there’s that.

Michelle Obama praised Crooked Hillary at the Simmons VIDEO:

Hillary Clinton was “the best-qualified candidate,”

Michelle said.

“She wasn’t perfect, but she was way more

perfect than many of the alternatives.”

 Trump Admin Sanctions Putin Cronies –
Including Russian Oligarch With Lobbyist Ties To
Dem Senator Mark Warner
By Cristina Laila
April 6, 2018, 1:46 Pm
The Trump administration announced Friday
it will put sanctions on 7 Russian oligarchs
and several companies they own in
response to Russia’s ‘continued attacks to
subvert Western democracies.’
One of the seven oligarchs designated Friday, Oleg
Deripaska is linked to Democrat Senator Mark Warner
through a Washington lobbyist.
Virginia Dem Senator Mark Warner previously used the
lobbyist of Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska to organize a
secret meeting with dossier author Christopher Steele.
The Hill reported:
“The Russian government engages in a range
of malign activity around the globe,” Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.
“Russian oligarchs and elites who profit from
this corrupt system will no longer be insulated
from the consequences of their government’s
destabilizing activities.”
“This [is a] response to Russia’s continued
attacks to subvert Western democracies,” a
senior administration official said.
Those now sanctioned include Oleg Deripaska, an oligarch
with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and President
352
Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who
has been indicted in the special counsel’s investigation into
the Kremlin’s election-meddling efforts.
Via US Department of Treasury:
Oleg Deripaska is being designated pursuant to
E.O. 13661 for having acted or purported to act
for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, a senior
official of the Government of the Russian
Federation, as well as pursuant to E.O. 13662
for operating in the energy sector of the
Russian Federation economy. Deripaska has
said that he does not separate himself from the
Russian state. He has also acknowledged
possessing a Russian diplomatic passport, and
claims to have represented the Russian
government in other countries. Deripaska has
been investigated for money laundering, and
has been accused of threatening the lives of
business rivals, illegally wiretapping a
government official, and taking part in extortion
and racketeering. There are also allegations
that Deripaska bribed a government official,
ordered the murder of a businessman, and had
links to a Russian organized crime group.
In February of 2017, Vice Chair of the Senate Intel
Committee Mark Warner secretly text messaged
Washington lawyer Adam Waldman who also happens to
represent Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in an effort to
organize a secret meeting with Christopher Steele.
According to an exclusive story by Fox News, Senator
Warner was aware of the questionable nature of his
politically-motivated contact with the lobbyist and
repeatedly urged for “secrecy.”
To guarantee some of this secrecy,
Sen Warner was communicating with
the Russian Oligarch’s Lobbyist through the
encrypted messaging app, Signal. Warner
had his messages on Signal set
to disappear after a designated amount of
 time as evidenced by the hourglass icon at
the top right of the screenshots below.

Of course the leftist media will only highlight Deripaska’s

connection to Paul Manafort because he was a part of
Trump’s campaign.

Was Steele paid by Russian oligarch and Putin ally Oleg

Deripaska?

 Mueller Star Witness Against President Trump Is A
Convicted Pedophile – Media Buries It
By Jim Hoft
April 6, 2018, 9:06 Pm

The media is burying the fact that Mueller’s star witness

against President Trump was convicted of raping 10 year
old boys.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly is

using a convicted pedophile, George Nader,
as his star witness in his unending witch
hunt against President Trump.
Mike Cernovich tweeted last week that dirty cop Mueller’s
star witness in the Trump – Russia witch hunt is a child
molester –

The witness, Goerge Nader, has reportedly fled the

country.

354
 Creepy Mueller is now using pedophiles to implicate
President Trump in Russia collusion? Knowing that no
crime related to collusion exists in US law?

Mueller and the Deep State’s sick witch hunt

needs to end. It’s now getting gross.

Mueller Investigating Manafort For Working With Former
Ukrainian President In 2013 When Mueller
Was Also Working With Him
By Jim Hoft
April 7, 2018, 6:43 Am

“We are grateful to American side for support of

our efforts aimed at settlement of frozen
conflicts, ensuring control over conventional
arms in Europe and combating trafficking. We
count on further support and cooperation with
USA within the OSCE in order to enhance
stability and security in the area which is under
jurisdiction of the given organization,” the
President said at the meeting with FBI Director
Robert Mueller.

Crooked Cop and Special Counsel Robert

Mueller Charged Paul Manafort, President
Trump’s former Campaign Manager, for
working with Ukrainian’s Leader Viktor
Yanukovych in 2013. However,
Mueller worked with Yanukovych in 2013 as
well.

Last week a memo was released showing Assistant AG

Rod Rosenstein directing the Mueller investigation to look
into allegations that Paul Manafort –

“Committed a crime or crimes arising out of

payments he received from the Ukrainian
government before and during the tenure of
President Viktor Yanukovych.”

In the memo there is no indication that

Rosenstein or Mueller offered that
Mueller interacted with the former Ukrainian
President as well. But then again,
Rosenstein and Mueller have so
many conflicts of interest in this
case that it is accurately labeled a
“witch hunt”.

Jack Posobiec tweeted out over night the link between The Head of State reminded that since the beginning of
Mueller and Yanukovych – 2013, Ukraine had been presiding in the OSCE.

The Ukrainian Embassy in the US shared on Facebook a
picture of Mueller with Yanukovych in 2013. The post
dated June 6, 2013, states –
356
“We determined priorities of our presidency in
close cooperation with member-states of the
OSCE. I am pleased to note that we have a
constructive cooperation with Washington in
this sphere,” the President emphasized.
 “Ukrainian-American cooperation efficiently
develops in many spheres of mutual interest.
Your visit is very interesting for Ukraine and
relations between our law enforcement bodies
have established good traditions of cooperation
and communication in the course of 20 years. I
am confident that there is a potential for further
broadening of cooperation,” Viktor Yanukovych
said.
He stressed that Ukraine paid particular attention to the
issue of combating terrorism. We have adopted a number
of documents aimed at increasing the efficiency of such
work.
“The level of cooperation between central
executive governmental bodies involved in anti-
terrorist actions is pretty high. The Security
Service elaborated respective documents, they
were reviewed and approved by respective
Presidential Decree,” the Head of State noted.
The President emphasized that Ukraine is very
close to signing the Association Agreement
with the EU in November. “There are some
preparations left but I hope that we will fulfill
everything and sign the Agreement,” he said.
In his turn, FBI Director Robert Mueller expressed
gratitude to the President of Ukraine for the assistance
provided after the explosions in Boston.
.
357
“I would like to focus on the most important
issue for us – the issue of combating terrorism. I
would like to say thank you for the assistance
provided to us after the Boston Marathon,” he
noted.
FBI Director also informed that in the course of his
meetings in Ukraine,
he planned to discuss a number of
issues of mutual interest.
Who only knows what the issues of mutual
interest were!
This is not the first interaction Mueller had with the
Russians. In 2009 Mueller hand delivered uranium to the
Russians on an airport tarmac per the request of Hillary
Clinton. Mueller also was Head of the FBI when the
Obama Administration sold 20% of US uranium to the
Russians in the Uranium One deal.
Mueller also reportedly visited Moscow before he visited
the Ukrainian President in 2013.
How can Mueller be investigating Manfort
for business with the Ukraine and Russia
when Mueller is as suspect as Manafort ever
was? Shut it down!
 Congressional Investigators Given “Extraordinary
Accommodation” To Access Secret FISA Documents
By Joshua Caplan
April 7, 2018, 9:27 Am
The Justice Department has quietly granted
congressional investigators access to
secret FISA documents in relation to former
Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Daily Caller reports:
The Department of Justice says it will allow
members of the House and Senate Intelligence
Committees to view surveillance warrants
granted against former Trump campaign
.
358
adviser Carter Page in what the agency is
calling an “extraordinary accommodation.”
DOJ is allowing the access to the four warrant applications
in response to demands from California Rep. Devin Nunes,
the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence.
However, as the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross points out, the
Justice Department makes
“no mention of providing [a] copy of the
Electronic Communication (EC) which laid out
[the] basis of [the] Russia probe.”
The Justice Department’s latest move might still not be
enough for House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes.
Fox News contributor Sara Carter reported Wednesday that
House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes is calling for
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI
Director Christopher Wray to hand over unredacted
documents related to the agency’s Russia probe.
 Paul Manafort Hits Back – Accuses
Robert Mueller Of Illegal Property Search
By Cristina Laila
April 7, 2018, 1:03 Pm
Trump’s former campaign chair Paul
Manafort’s lawyers accused Mueller’s team
of illegal property search in a late Friday
night court filing.
A search warrant was issued for a storage locker on May
27 which gave the FBI authorization to seize any financial
or tax records relating to Manafort or his business partner
Rick Gates.
Manafort filed this motion 24 minutes before the deadline,
according to Politico reporter Josh Gerstein.
Politico reported:
The FBI first got into the Alexandria, Va.
storage unit last May with the assistance of an
employee who worked at two or more of
Manafort’s companies, an agent told the federal
magistrate judge who issued the warrant. Then,
the agent used what he saw written on so-
called Banker’s Boxes and the fact there was a
five-drawer filing cabinet to get permission to
return and seize many of the records.
In a motion filed Friday night in federal court in
Washington, Manafort’s defense team contends
that the initial entry was illegal because the
employee did not not have authority to let the
FBI into the locker. The defense also argues
that the warrant was overbroad and that agents
seizing records went beyond what limits the
warrant did set.
359
“The FBI Agent had no legitimate basis to
reasonably believe that the former employee
had common authority to consent to the
warrantless initial search of the storage unit,”
attorneys Kevin Downing and Thomas Zehnle
wrote.
In the new motion, Manafort’s defense asks the judge
overseeing the Washington case, Amy Berman Jackson, to
rule the search illegal and suppress the evidence the FBI
found. Defense attorneys were also facing a deadline
Friday to file a motion to suppress evidence found in a
search of Manafort’s Alexandria condo in July, but they
asked for a last-minute extension until Monday.
“Hopefully you didn’t go to sleep or drink too
heavily, because here is the Manafort
suppression motion re storage locker. Filed 24
minutes before deadline.”
According to a Thursday court filing, Special
Counsel Robert Mueller has obtained a new
search warrant on Trump’s former campaign
manager Paul Manafort in March of this year
relating to ongoing investigations that are
not the subject of either of the current
prosecutions.
An August 2nd 2017 memo from Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to Special
Counsel Robert Mueller surfaced late
Monday evening in a court filing. Mueller
used the memo to defend his scope of the
investigation against a recent motion
Manafort filed to dismiss his case.
In the heavily redacted memo, Robert Mueller admits
Rosenstein’s order appointing him to Special Counsel was
intentionally vague.
“This violates the special counsel law that
requires a specific statement of facts to be
investigated,” says Attorney Gregg Jarrett.
360
It was previously reported at Law and
Crime that Mueller’s raid on Paul Manafort’s
home took place before August 2nd, the date
that Rosenstein provided Mueller support
for the raid. The FBI reportedly manhandled
Manafort and his wife in the early morning
raid on July 26th.

 Roger Stone Needs Your Help: Under Fire By Far Left
Media And Shadowy Liberal Operatives
By Assistant Editor
April 7, 2018, 5:36 Pm
Political operative and patriot Roger Stone
is facing multiple lawsuits and a bogus
Russia investigation.
Many know Roger Stone as the man who helped his
longtime friend Donald Trump become President. To
others, he is Satan reincarnate, the man who broke the
political system and launched their worst nightmare into
power instead of corrupt Hillary Clinton.
Since Trump’s election, Stone has defeated
one frivolous lawsuit and is currently
fending off two others meant to cripple him
financially. All because he refuses to
abandon President Trump, but also because
he has the balls to tell the American people
the truth about the treasonous attacks on
our President from the intelligence
community, military industrial complex, and
deep state.
Each and every American should be deeply concerned
about the Gestapo style attacks on his confidante and
longtime advisor Roger Stone.
One of the lawsuits is being funded by former President
Barack Obama’s “Project Democracy”, and the other has
been brought by a bizarre Chinese businessman who is
under investigation for brazen corruption in his homeland.
364
He has incurred nearly a million dollars in
legal fees, expects to spend much more, and
has had to launch a legal defense fund to
fight back against the unlimited resources
being used against him.
The mainstream media endlessly drone on about these
efforts, former intelligence officers have filed unusual
amicus briefs parroting wild conspiracy theories about
Stone colluding with Russia, and primetime hosts like
MSNBC’s Ari Melber continue to double down on
unsubstantiated claims about Trump and Stone that read
like the wet dreams of Hillary Clinton.
If they are able to destroy, or at the very
minimum cripple Stone’s ability to defend
President Trump and the freedom movement
they will push forward until every other
voice with which they disagree is silenced.
It will start with people like Mr. Stone, Alex Jones, Matt
Drudge, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Julian Assange, and
any other pro-freedom commentator or voice who stands
against their narrative and end on attacks against American
citizens, themselves.
Without seasoned street fighters like Roger Stone leading
the vanguard and holding the line, imagine the uphill battle
we will face, the insurmountable mountain of depravity
and dirty tricks that President Trump will be dealt.
Some of you in the Republican Party and conservative
movement do not like Roger Stone. Some Americans
might not like Roger Stone. However, to put things in
perspective, if they can destroy a man like Stone, who has
never been afraid of brutal trench warfare, how easily can
they destroy and silence you?
The people and organizations that are working to destroy
Roger Stone are more interested in stripping him of his
voice and freedoms because of his ability to expose the
establishment. They would waste no time making similar
moves on Berniecrats and progressive voices on the other
side of the aisle.

‘Trump House’ Claiming It Caused Car Crash

 MSNBC Fantasizes About US Marshals Putting Trump In
Prison For Refusing To Testify To Mueller
Grand Jury (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
April 8, 2018, 3:33 Pm

Far-left radical Joy Ann Reid and other
mindless liberal drones on MSNBC
fantasized about President Trump being
dragged out of the White House by US
Marshals and imprisoned for refusing to
testify before Mueller’s grand jury.
This is peak MSNBC.
President Trump hasn’t even been subpoenaed to testify
yet the mentally deranged liberals are talking about putting
him in prison by force if necessary.
Akerman admitted President Trump has the option to plead
the 5th and at that point there wouldn’t be a problem.
VIDEO:

Watergate lawyer Nicholas Akerman told Joyless Reid, Reaction from Trump supporters…

“Normally, a person who refuses to testify

before a grand jury winds up being
incarcerated for the time period of the
grand jury, which can be up to 18 months.
So, one way to enforce it is to have Donald
Trump taken by the federal marshals and
put in federal prison until he testifies.”
Joyless Reid took the delusion to the next level and
wondered,
“What if he refuses to open the White
House door? What if he fires any Secret
Service agent who would allow the federal
marshals in? What if Donald Trump simply
decides ‘I don’t’ have to follow the law. I
refuse to be held under the law. No
marshal can get into the White House and
any Secret Service agent that defies is
fired’?”
Akerman then said,
”Well at some point he’s gotta come out of
the White House…the US marshals will be
directed to take him into custody…”

President Trump lashed out at Russia, Iran and Syria for

the attack.

Then President Trump blasted former

At least seven times Barack Obama warned Assad that

the investigation into former Secretary of

The release said Attorney General Jeff Sessions doubled
the number of people working to fulfill the document

release said.
The Justice Department missed the
initial April 5th deadline to produce

Who is John Lausch? The Chicago-based U.S. Attorney

was granted “independent authority,” by the Justice
Department to oversee the document transfer.

Chicago Tonight has more on Lausch:
Lausch was tapped by President Donald
Trump for the post, after Trump in March
abruptly demanded the immediate
resignation of 46 U.S. attorneys across the
nation, including Lausch’s predecessor,
Zach Fardon.
After Trump’s nomination, Illinois’ two
Democratic U.S. senators gave their
thumbs-up to the appointment.
Lausch was sworn into office the day
before Thanksgiving; two months into the
job, on Wednesday, he gave his first
interviews with the media.
Despite Trump’s frequent habit of haranguing Chicago
about its gun crime problem, Laush says he’s never spoken
with the president, though he did meet with U.S. Attorney
General Jeff Sessions as part of the vetting process
(Lausch says Sessions did not ask him about his political
leanings.)
388
“We will follow the policies and the
procedures of the Justice Department. That
said, one of the things that’s been very
clear from the attorney general and this
Justice Department is that there is a lot of
discretion that we have, in each of our
districts, in order to do the right thing. Do
good work,” he said.
One of the areas he’ll exercise that discretion: the
enforcement of marijuana laws.

To Call Hillary Email Investigation A “Matter” Then
Throws Him Under The Bus (VIDEO)

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch
sat down for an interview with NBC’s
Lester Holt to discuss Comey, Hillary’s
email investigation and the infamous
tarmac meeting she had with Bill Clinton
in June of 2016.
In a sneak preview of the interview set to air Monday
night, Loretta Lynch told Lester Holt Comey never raised
concerns with her over her decision to call Hillary’s email
investigation a “matter.”
Former FBI Director James Comey previously said in a
testimony that Loretta Lynch’s decision to refer to
Hillary’s FBI probe as a “matter” rather than an
“investigation” gave him a strange feeling.
Loretta Lynch threw Comey under the bus in her interview
with NBC’s Lester Holt when she told him Comey never
raised concerns with her over her decision to call Hillary’s
investigation a “matter.”
Lester Hold asked Loretta Lynch,
“James Comey was testifying before
Congress in June of last year and he noted
that you had asked him to call the Clinton
probe a matter, not an investigation–he
said, it made him feel, I’m paraphrasing, it

made him feel strange. What did you mean
when you said matter instead and not a
investigation?”
“Well, you know I heard about that
testimony, I didn’t watch it at the time, but it
was brought to my attention later and
people were raising it with me,” Lynch
responded.
“My first response was, ‘what, you know,
where is the issue here?’ I remember
specifically talking with him – as we talked
about sensitive things on a number of
occasions,” she continued. “We often
would have to discuss sensitive matters,
sensitive issues, terrorism and the like, law
enforcement policy and the like.”
“This was a very sensitive investigation as
everyone knew,” she claimed. “And the
issue when he and I sat down at that time,
which I think was early in the fall of 2015,
was whether or not we were ready as an
department to confirm an investigation
going on, when we typically do not confirm
or deny investigations into anything with
rare exceptions.”
Lester Holt pressed the issue again and reiterated Comey
noted it bothered him that Hillary’s investigation was
labeled a “matter” to which Lynch responded,
“We had a full and open discussion about

 Wallace Hosts Full Commercial-Free Hour Of
Trump/Russia Hysteria
By Bill D'Agostino
April 9, 2018 7:37 PM EDT
On a news day otherwise dominated by talk of the alleged
chemical attack in Syria, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace
flipped the script on Monday and spent a full commercial-
free hour salivating over reports the FBI had raided the
office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
Donald Trump has lived rent-free in Wallace’s head for
quite some time. Since her 4:00 p.m. show Deadline:
White House first aired in May of 2017, she has dutifully
spent every weekday obsessing over the President’s
alleged misdeeds, with few exceptions. She quickly
developed a particular fondness for speculating about the
outcome of Robert Mueller’s counterintelligence probe
into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of these hypothetical
scenarios have ended with Trump’s impeachment.
Wallace smelled fresh meat upon learning of reporting by
The New York Times that Cohen’s office had been raided.
She seized upon the development to turn her show into an
hour-long panel discussion that was rife with speculation
about how this latest development would ultimately doom
the Trump presidency.
Wallace grew ever bolder with her theories and assertions,
and by the 30-minute mark, she was casually framing
serious (unproven) allegations as established facts. Her
viciousness appeared to spur on her fellow panelists –
particularly New York Times columnist Bret Stephens. By
the show’s conclusion, any pretense of objectivity had
been thoroughly ground to dust, and the remains
subsequently set aflame. Below are some of the most
egregious examples from Monday’s panel discussion:
401
“I think we’re just talking about a
massive criminal enterprise, Bret
Stephens.”
– Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC
“It reminds us that the salacious and
unverified details in the Steele dossier
are eminently plausible.”
– Bret Stephens, The New York Times
“[Trump's] not a Bernie Madoff. This
wasn’t a sophisticated financial scam.
He basically ran a mom and pop
operation with his kids, you know,
making public appearances, and it was
a less sophisticated operation.”
– Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC
“He’s not a Bond villain. He’s a Mike
Myers villain. This is really what we’re
talking about here.”
– Bret Stephens, The New York Times
“We now have a Presidency whose
central defects, which are to say, the
narcissism, the self-obsession, the
triviality, and the meat and the
pettiness, pettiness, and crim –
potential criminality...”
– Bret Stephens, The New York Times
 “A defective President.”
– Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC
See below for a partial transcript of the panel discussion:
MSNBC's Deadline: White House
04/09/2018
4:33 – 4:59 p.m. Eastern
4:33 – 4:34
NICOLLE WALLACE: Chuck and I talked last week, there were
some theories posited that simple bribery around the recrafting of
the Republican platform, the change to a more pro-putin plank
around, I think it was around Ukraine, could be something –
A.B. STODDARD: That wouldn't be under Mueller?
WALLACE: Well, that could or couldn’t be under Mueller. But
you're talking about crimes that are in the Mueller probe, crimes
that are outside the Mueller probe. There may be New York state
investigations. I think we're just talking about a massive criminal
enterprise by that statement.
BRET STEPHENS: Well, look, I think Bob Mueller is on very
dangerous political terrain because I can almost write the
editorials that will be a reaction to this. And at the center of those
editorials is the question, what on Earth does this have to do with
Russia? As far as most people know, Michael Cohen is the guy
who apparently paid $130,000 to porn star with whom the
President appears to have had a liaison over a decade ago.
There is already a real question out there as to whether the
President should fire Mueller. And if you talk to a lot of
Republicans they'll say he's way out of his –
WALLACE: But he – he’s referred this to –
STEPHENS: Just to finish, so, Mueller -- we need to find out very
quickly how this connects to -- to, at least in its broadest sense, a
Russia investigation.
(...)
4:40 – 4:42
STODDARD: If he is blackmailable and compromised by the
Russians because of financial crimes, having nothing to do with
active collusion in the spring or summer of 2016, over the
campaign of Hillary Clinton with government officials in Russia,
he is still vulnerable to blackmail.
BRET STEPHENS: It reminds us that the salacious and
unverified details in the Steele dossier are eminently plausible.
WALLACE: More so every day, right?
STODDARD: Buy even without the salacious, people are mostly
concerned that this is a man –
402
STEPHENS: Sorry, I should have said, ‘salacious’ [scare quotes].
STODDARD: – who, along with Michael Cohen, wasn't afraid of
some rules standing in his way as a businessman. And he was
desperate to do a Trump Tower in Moscow, and he might be
indebted to some Russians in ways that are not on the books.
And that, in the end, is within Mueller’s purview. And Republicans
will fight you to the nail on that every time, as if it’s from twenty
years ago so it’s okay. It’s not. It will be part of this investigation if
it’s true.
WALLACE: I get this um, I won't call it an admonishment, but I
get chided sometimes for thinking too big about Donald Trump –
for thinking that the crimes are things that I couldn't think of. And
sthe sources always tell me, dumb it down. These could be – you
and I talked about bribery. These could be things, you know,
lapses in character that he believes his base will always forgive.
These could be things that he simply wanted to keep secret from
his wife, whether because he cares about embarrassing her –
which seems debatable – and/or he could have been bound by a
pre-nup that prevented some behaviors like the kinds of things
we're talking about, sex with a porn star and whatnot. What other
things are sort of, low-tech crimes and less sophisticated crimes.
And more – you know, someone said, he wasn’t this titan of
business. He’s not a Bernie Madoff. There wasn’t a sophisticated
financial scam. He basically ran a mom and pop operation with
his kids, you know, making public appearances, and it was a less
sophisticated operation.
(...)
48:21 – 49:46 (1 min, 25 sec)
STEPHENS: I mean, he's not a bond villain. He's a Mike Myers
villain. This is what we're talking about here. Look, this is -- I think
you just put your finger on it, which is that trump's entire career
has been based on what he calls hyperbole, but hyperbole of a
sort most of us would describe as lying. And this is, this has got
to be something that worries him profoundly. Nick had a long list
of things which are important to mention. I think it's also
important to mention one reason to go after Michael Cohen is the
same reason you go after George Papadopoulos and others, is
that you need to start squeezing these guys because they know
things, they know things that Trump has conspicuously been
unwilling to reveal, and that has got to make Trump nervous.
WALLACE: I want to go back to the never released tax returns.
The time we covered it incorrectly. We covered it as a norm that
was busted. It was obviously a much bigger and different story.
David Farenthold from the Washington post had a story last week
where he laid out the three legal devices that are squeezing him
and his financial records. The least sexy of which is the
emoluments case in Virginia and D.C. Or Maryland and D.C. The
other is avenatti's legal case and the other is the Mueller probe.
Do you think those three investigations, we will eventually see
those tax returns?

“He Made A Terrible Mistake, He Should Have Let Us
Know He Was Going To Recuse Himself” (VIDEO)

April 9, 2018, 7:39 Pm
FBI agents raided the office of one of
Trump’s personal lawyers Michael Cohen on
Monday at the request of Special Counsel
Robert Mueller.
Since the Stormy Daniels documents are outside of Robert
Mueller’s scope of the Russia investigation, Mueller is
required to consult with Deputy AG Rod
Rosenstein before he is allowed to expand his mandate.
President Trump lashed out at the FBI raid on Michael
Cohen as “an attack on our country.”
According to the Washington Post, FBI agents took
Cohen’s computer, phone and personal financial records
as part of the search of his office at Rockefeller Center.

The New York Times first reported the FBI
raid collected documents related to Michael
Cohen’s payment to porn star Stormy
Daniels in October of 2016.
Michael Cohen’s attorney hit back and
released a statement following the raid.
Monday evening Trump blasted AG Sessions and the
Mueller witch hunt.
Axios reported:
Ahead of a briefing from Senior Military
Leadership Monday night, President Trump
blasted the FBI’s raid of his personal lawyer’s
office, calling it a disgraceful situation and an
attack on the U.S., according to White House
pool reports.
Trump also criticized Attorney General Jeff

 Joe Digenova: Congress Should IMPEACH Deputy AG
Rosenstein And FBI Director Wray (VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
April 9, 2018, 8:26 Pm
On the Fox Business Network Monday
evening, former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova
called for Congress to impeach Deputy
Attorney General and FBI Director
Christopher Wray due to the out of control
Russia probe.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported,
the FBI raided long-time Trump lawyer
Michael Cohen. While not directly linked to
the Russia probe, diGenova argued that if
Mueller wasn’t appointed by Rosenstein, the
raid wouldn’t have taken place.
406
DiGenova:
“I think that the raid today on Mr. Cohen’s office
was an act of bad faith by the special
prosecutor even though he was not responsible
for the raid. He caused it to occur through the
Southern District of New York. I think these are
what are called ‘in terrorem tactics.’ They are
using the grand jury in a terroristic way in order
to frighten people, to intimidate people and can
try to influence the conduct of the president of
the United States. I think what Mr. Mueller has
done, under the guidance of Mr. Rosenstein
and the assistance of FBI Director Wray is
disgraceful. I think it is an embarrassment to the
Department of Justice and the fact that they’re
in embarrassed tells you something about these
three people — Mueller, Wray and Rosenstein.
It is clear to me now that Mueller, Wray and
Rosenstein are anti-Trumpers. It is not a bad
faith federal investigation. It is designed to
embarrass the president and I believe they
have determined that they want to take him
down.
Referencing the out of control Russia probe, Dobbs then
asked what Congress can do about a “rogue Justice
Department and FBI, not meeting the constitutional,
Congressional demands of oversight?”
DiGenova:
“Right. It’s a no-brainer, they should hold
Rosenstein and Wray in contempt of Congress,
and if they don’t produce the documents, they
should move to impeach both of them.”

The press pool reported: Trump just floated the

Monday evening leaker and serial liar, Rep. possibility of firing Robert Mueller.
Adam Schiff (D-CA) called the FBI’s raid of
Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen, “I think it’s a disgrace what’s going on. We’ll see
where attorney-client privileged what happens. Many people have said you
communications were seized, “the rule of should fire him.”

Per pool:
Schiff also sounded the alarm after President Trump
floated the possibility of firing dirty cop Mueller.

FBI agents raided the office of one of

Trump’s personal lawyers Michael Cohen on
Monday at the request of Special Counsel
Robert Mueller.
They were looking for dirt on porn star Stormy Daniels.
According to the Washington Post, FBI agents took
Cohen’s computer, phone and personal financial records
as part of the search of his office at Rockefeller Center.
Also, according to the New York Times, a special team of
agents will be reviewing documents because conversations
between lawyers and clients are protected in majority of
cases.
Monday evening Trump blasted AG Sessions and the
Mueller witch hunt.
The president also floated the possibility of firing dirty cop
Mueller.
Adam Schiff was delighted after the FBI
raided Michael Cohen’s office even though
Cohen had been fully cooperating with the
Mueller’s prosecutors.
Schiff then sounded the alarm and called on Congress to
speak out against the possibility of Trump firing Mueller
‘or stop feigning devotion to the Constitution.’
Adam Schiff has this backwards. Mueller’s witch hunt is
unconstitutional and a special counsel should be appointed
to investigate Mueller and Rosenstein.
Schiff tweeted: The search warrant for Michael Cohen’s
office was sought by a US Attorney appointed by the
President and approved by a judge. That’s no witch hunt.
That’s the rule of law.

 ABC, NBC Push Smear:
Trump Helped Cause Syrian Gas Attack Of Civilians
By Nicholas Fondacaro
April 9, 2018 9:12 PM EDT

On NBC Nightly News, White House correspondent Hallie

Jackson also used McCain’s words to bludgeon the
administration.

“The White House dismissing critics

who point to these remarks from the
president last week,” she said. “Some
like Republican Senator John McCain
worry that emboldened Assad. Now, a
president reluctant to keep the U.S.
military involved perhaps perceives no
choice.”
Network News shows Monday evening were rife
with anticipation hat President Trump that would announce
a plan to retaliate against Syria for apparently using
chemical weapons on civilian populations. While the
President himself came out aggressively against the Assad
regime by condemning them along with their Russian and
Iranian backers, both ABC and NBC pushed a smear by
Senator John McCain (R-Ari.) blaming Trump for the
attack. Meanwhile, CBS failed to report the President’s
condemnation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During his report of President Trump’s promised action

against Syria on World News Tonight, ABC White House
correspondent Jon Karl used Trump’s desire to pull troops
out of the war-torn country against him: Although they didn’t mention McCain’s smear, CBS
Evening News did fail to mention President Trump’s by-
name condemnation of President Putin.
Just last week, the President said he
wanted to pull American troops out of Syria
soon. (…) But Senator John McCain said “Both he and the White House

“For the first time, the President directly

‘President Putin, Russia and Iran are

Karl then noted he asked Trump about blaming Putin while
in the Cabinet Room:
KARL: Today, we asked the President
about that. Does Putin bear responsibility

DONALD TRUMP: He may, yeah, he may.
And if he does, it's going to be very tough.

KARL: He will pay a price if he’s behind

TRUMP: Everybody is going to pay a price.
He will, everybody will.
While ABC and NBC were pushing McCain’s attack
against the President, they failed to give their viewers the
full context of the events. Simply put, they omitted the
Obama administration's previous claim that they had
weeded out all of Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapon
stockpiles. Former Secretary of State John Kerry even did
a victory lap via the media.

 Matthews: Will Trump Bomb
Syria To 'Distract' From Mueller?
By Bill D'Agostino
April 9, 2018 9:58 PM EDT

Following the revelation on Monday that the FBI had

raided the office of Donald Trump’s lawyer, the recent
developments in Syria took a back seat on MSNBC’s
evening shows. However, Hardball host Chris Matthews
found a creative way to tie the stories together: by
predicting the President would bomb Syria to distract from
the Mueller probe.
Matthews later revisited this narrative with USA
Today journalist Susan Page, who, like Sykes, was
reluctant to fully commit to an affirmative answer.
“I think that’s a very serious charge to
make against a President,” she fretted.

Matthews made multiple references to Wag The Dog, The MSNBC host shot back,

CHARLIE SYKES: I'm always reluctant to get inside Donald
Trump's head because that's kind of a scary place for me. But
you're absolutely right. This is a President who will at least vent,
at least consider punching back. But as David says, there is no
easy way out for him. But what Donald Trump has figured out is

distractions and you count on your base and supine Republicans

SYKES: Well, he woke up this morning thinking I may need a
bigger distraction, you know. Look, I think we're probably going to
bomb Syria anyway.
MATTHEWS: Ron, I saw the scary face of John Bolton behind
the President. And then I saw him in the next scene sitting next to

MATTHEWS: It’s a question to raise when you have John Bolton

off and watch the President in that very peculiar conversation.
And he looked like he did when he did the fire and fury thing with
North Korea where he is crossing his arms. He looks very
defensive. He looks embattled. It's with that mind-set that he
goes into the meeting on Syria.
MATTHEWS: Okay, even on Reagan, and Jonathan, I remember
Reagan was, a lot of people thought he started that action down
in Grenada to cover up for Beirut and the loss of the marine lives.
It isn't so far-fetched, is it?
PAGE: I don’t know if it’s far-fetched, I just think it’s – it’s –
MATTHEWS: It’s an awful charge.
PAGE: It’s a very serious charge.
CAPEHART: I think with this President, if you can imagine it, it
can possibly happen. Things that we used to think were
ridiculous and could never happen, have happened.

 MORE WINNING=> China’s Xi Pledges To Open
Economy, Cut Tariffs On US Products
By Jim Hoft
April 10, 2018, 12:13 Am
China’s President Xi Jinping promised to
open the economy and cut car tariffs on
Tuesday.
This followed President Donald Trump’s hammering of
the trade inequality with the Chinese. The U.S. trade
deficit with China was $375 billion in 2017.
President Trump tweeted this out on
Sunday.
.
417
On Monday President Trump followed with
this tweet on the unfair trade practices by
China.
On Tuesday President Xi Jinping announced
China would open its economy and cut car
tariffs from the US.
Reuters reported:
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday
promised to open the country’s economy further
and lower import tariffs on products including
cars, in a speech seen as conciliatory amid
rising trade tensions between China and the
United States.
While most of the pledges were reiterations of
previously announced measures, Xi’s
comments sent U.S. stock futures, the dollar
and Asian shares higher.
Xi said that China will sharply widen market access for

 MUST WATCH: Tucker Carlson Unleashes The Perfect
Take Down Of The Establishment
Push For War With Syria
By Cassandra Fairbanks
April 10, 2018, 7:07 Am
Tucker Carlson went against the narrative being peddled
by nearly everyone in establishment politics and media on
Monday evening, unleashing a devastating monologue
countering all of the talking points being used to attempt to
push the United States into another war.
Carlson did not hold back during his nearly ten minute
long take down of the war machine.
“Leaders on both sides of the aisle in Congress,
in the media, in our intelligence services and
virtually every overfunded think-tank in
Washington have suddenly aligned tonight on a
single point of agreement: America must go to
war in Syria immediately. Bashar al-Assad
cannot continue to lead that country. He must
be overthrown,” Carlson began.
The Fox News host then launched into the story being
peddled by those who seemingly have a wish for World
War III.
418
“Assad is an evil man they tell us,” Tucker
continued. “Assad’s poison gas suffocated
children. Pictures of the aftermath of that are all
over the internet and they are horrifying. Assad
is a monster. That’s the official story — almost
everyone in power claims to believe it.”
Carlson then asked the question that nearly everyone on
social media has been asking — how would a chemical
attack that would vilify him on the world stage benefit the
Assad regime in any way?
“All the geniuses tell us that Assad killed
those children. But do they really know
that? Of course, they don’t really know that,
they’re making it up. They have no real idea
what happened. Actually, both sides in the
Syrian Civil War possess chemical weapons.
How would it benefit Assad, from using
chlorine gas last weekend?”
The host argued that there are currently horrific things
taking place all over the globe, yet when carried out by our
allies we turn a blind eye.
“There’s a devastating famine killing
children in Yemen right now Saudis are
causing that. Should we drop tomahawks on
Riyadh in response? Not until it’s on
YouTube apparently. When you conduct
foreign policy by viral video, pictures are
essential,” Carlson said mockingly.
The passionate monologue continued on to explain that we
were fed a similar story about chemical weapons last
April, which lead to an airstrike by the Trump
administration. Yet, two months ago, Secretary of Defense
Jim Mattis admitted that we still cannot prove that the
attack was carried out by Assad.
“The story, it turns out, was propaganda, it was
designed to manipulate Americans, just like so
much of what they say,” Carlson said.
He explained that the secular government would likely end
up being replaced by Islamic militants who wish to kill
those who do not conform to their religious beliefs and
way of life — including the Christians that Assad is
currently protecting.
“How exactly did regime change work in Iraq
and Libya?” Carlson asked.
419
Carlson continued to dismantle the narrative piece by piece
until he concluded by reading President Trump’s own
tweets where he had urged then-President Barack Obama
to stay out of Syria, noting that there is nothing to gain and
a whole lot to lose.
 Dirty Cop Mueller Investigating Trump For $150,000
Donation From Ukrainian Oligarch …Who Gave $13
Million To The Clintons

Foundation)
Dirty cop Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating
President Trump for a $150,000 donation from Ukrainian
oligarch Victor Pinchuk to the Trump Foundation for
charity work.
Business Insider reported:
 The special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly
probing a $150,000 donation a pro-Russian Ukrainian
oligarch made to the Trump Foundation in September
2015.
 The oligarch, Victor Pinchuk, made the donation after
then-candidate Donald Trump gave a 20-minute
speech at a European conference that promoted closer
ties between Ukraine and the West.
 Pinchuk has previously advocated for making
compromises with Russia to resolve the conflict with
Ukraine.
 The donation was reportedly solicited by Trump’s
personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, whose offices were
raided by the FBI as part of a separate investigation on
Monday.
However, this same Ukrainian oligarch gave
$13 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Of course, it always works out that way.
All roads lead back to the Clinton crime
family.
Via Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller:
The special counsel’s office is investigating a
$150,000 donation a Ukrainian businessman
made to President Donald Trump’s charity in
2015, according to a new report.
The donation, from steel magnate Victor
Pinchuk, pales in comparison to contributions
he gave to the charity Bill and Hillary Clinton set
up. The billionaire has contributed $13 million to
the Clinton Foundation since 2006 and had
access to Hillary Clinton while she served as
secretary of state.
But Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not investigating
The Clintons. Instead, he is conducting a broad
investigation of Donald Trump, including the flow of
foreign money into various Trump-controlled entities.

 Sick. Late Night Hack Stephen Colbert Cheers Deep State
Raid Of Trump Attorney’s Office (VIDEO)

This is the new late night humor?
Late night hack Stephen Colbert celebrated the Mueller
Deep State raid of Trump Attorney Michael Cohen’s home
and office.
raided by the feds today in a case related to his
paying $130k to the porn star out of his own
pocket to keep her from repeating claims that
she had an affair with Donald Trump about a
decade ago – an affair Trump has denied.

The raid violates the attorney-client privilege laws in the Trump never had addressed the payment publicly – until
US but liberals don’t care because it’s Trump. last Friday while waiting to use the loo on Air Force One.

Asked why Cohen made the payment, Trump told

reporters on the plane:

”You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is

my attorney.”

Asked if he knows where Cohen got the money, Trump

similarly insisted he did not know.

“He knows nothing!” Colbert marveled. “Trump

trusts his lawyer so much he lets him do stuff he
doesn’t know about in his name, for reasons he
does not understand!”
Stephen Colbert thought it was terrific.
This is the fascist left in America today.

The only humor they know is attacking conservative

Americans and Trump.

 CNN's Cuomo: Mueller's Team Has
A '50/50' Breakdown Of Democrats And Republicans
By Ryan Foley
April 10, 2018 11:05 AM EDT
During Tuesday's edition of CNN's New Day, co-host
Chris Cuomo dismissed President Trump's claim that the
lawyers working on Robert Mueller's Russia probe are
"just about all, either Democrats or a couple of
Republicans who have worked for President Obama."
Cuomo then falsely asserted that the Mueller team has a
'50/50' breakdown of Democrats and Republicans.
President Trump made those comments shortly after
learning that the FBI had raided the office of his longtime
attorney and friend Michael Cohen, referring to the
lawyers working on the Russia probe as “the most biased
group of people” with “the biggest conflicts of interest I’ve
ever seen.”
Cuomo dismissed President Trump’s
statement as “the politics of distraction”,
adding “Mueller’s team has some kind of
breakdown of Democrats and Republicans,
about 50/50.” Cuomo is half-right, the
Special Counsel’s legal team does have
“some kind of breakdown of Democrats
and Republicans.” But it’s definitely not
50/50.
To paraphrase Politifact, Cuomo’s statement surely
qualifies as “pants on fire.” Politifact, hardly a “fringe,
right-wing tabloid,” had previously fact-checked a tweet
from President Trump asking
“why does the Mueller team have 13
hardened Democrats, some big Crooked
Hillary supporters, and zero Republicans?”
Politifact rated the President’s statement as “half true”,
only taking issue with the President’s rhetoric describing
the lawyers as “hardened Democrats” and his neglect to
425
mention that Mueller himself is a registered Republican.
Citing research from The Washington Post, Politifact
independently confirmed that 12 people on Mueller’s staff
are registered Democrats, adding that another member of
the legal team, Aaron Zelinsky, identified as a Democrat
when writing a Huffington Post column supporting same-
sex marriage. Politifact also independently confirmed that
the remaining lawyers have no partisan affiliation. In other
words, Cuomo’s assertion, to use one of his favorite
phrases, is
“B.S.”
Co-host Alisyn Camerota tried to downplay the partisan
affiliations, arguing that President Trump suggested “that
if you have any political leanings in your life or ever have,
you can’t do your job professionally.” In addition to their
registration as Democrats, six of the lawyers on the Russia
probe donated more than $10,000 combined to Hillary
Clinton during both of her Presidential campaigns. The
Daily Caller put together a graphic showing all of the
attorneys’ donations to Democratic candidates in federal
and state elections over the years, which add up to more
than $50,000.
The media will continue to act as cheerleaders for the
Special Counsel investigation, even if that means
accidentally or purposefully uttering false statements on
the air.

CNN New Day
04/10/18
06:09 AM
ALISYN CAMEROTA: We have that moment for people who
missed it about how exercised the President became when he
learned about this raid on Michael Cohen. Watch this.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: This is the most biased group of people.
These people have the biggest conflicts of interest I’ve ever
seen. Democrats all, or just about all, either Democrats or a
couple of Republicans have worked for President Obama.
CAMEROTA: So we can fact check some of that. They’re, they’re
not all Democrats. Though some, obviously on Mueller’s team
are, but he can’t ask them, by the way. Here are the top people,
these are all Republicans and you see Robert Mueller, Rod
Rosenstein, Christopher Wray, who you were talking about,
Geoffrey Berman. These are all registered Republicans and by
the way Mueller can’t ask people are you, how are you registered
when he chooses them for his team. I think that perhaps what
President Trump is talking about, that some people on Mueller’s
team have given donations to Democratic candidates in the past.
But what he’s suggesting, Carrie, is that if you have any political
leanings in your life or ever have, you can’t do your job
professionally.
CUOMO: Right but look, we get that he’s upset about this. Cohen
is very important to him personally and professionally. But you
also have to call it what it is. This is the politics of distraction.
Mueller’s team has some kind of breakdown of Democrats and
Republicans, about 50/50. We’re told that Mueller did that
intentionally because he thought he would be identified as a
Republican. He wanted some kind of diversity on his team. But
everybody involved in this Carrie, has to be somebody who was
hand picked by this President. No matter how it transferred, once
you get away from Mueller, Rosenstein, his pick. Jeff Sessions
on top of the DOJ, if this isn’t seen as a matter related to Russian
interference, he’s not recused. He had to know something about
this. Geoffrey Berman had to know something about this in the
Southern District. The head of the FBI, Christopher Wray, they’re
.
426
all Trump’s guys. I just don’t think his “I’m under siege by
Democrats” holds up here, does it?
CARRIE CORDERO: It doesn’t. This is a Republican Justice
Department at this point with political leadership at all of the top
levels. Now, there are a few division heads that have not been
confirmed yet but, but they have been nominated and they are
acting individuals in those capacities that would have been
selected by Attorney General Sessions. So this is his own
political leadership in the Justice Department that he selected.
Director Mueller was chosen by Rod Rosenstein based on his
extensive public service experience. His team is experienced
prosecutors and Justice Department officials. If we can just back
it up, what the President doesn’t like is an independent Justice
Department. He doesn’t, he didn’t during the campaign and more
than a year into the Presidency, he doesn’t understand that the
Justice Department operates according to certain rules, ethics
and the principles of the justice system. And, and that process
will take its place regardless of political pressure that he has
applied over the course of the last year. And so this is a wide
ranging, if we talk about the Special Counsel’s office and now if
there are any other spinoffs, this is obviously a wide-ranging,
started as a national security investigation, now a large criminal
investigation that is going in various directions and the
individuals, whether or not they are now Republican nominees
who are involved in the decision making process, have long
experience in the Justice Department and it really does seem
that they are holding true to that work in their continuation of this
investigation.
 Judicial Watch: Inside The Curious Case
Of ‘Outside D.C.’ Federal Prosecutor John Huber And
Uranium One
By Joshua Caplan
April 10, 2018, 12:20 Pm

Last month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions

revealed the identity of a ‘top federal
prosecutor,’ investigating alleged abuses by
the Justice Department and FBI. In addition,
Sessions said he believes a second special
counsel is not required at this time.

Reacting to the news, Judicial Watch

president Tom Fitton called Sessions’
announcement a “major fail,” by the Justice
Department.

“Major fail from DOJ! AG Sessions writes he

tasked a lawyer to investigate whether to
investigate the Clinton/Obama abuses! No

427
 wonder @RealDonaldTrump is frustrated,”
Fitton tweeted.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett even
raised the prospect that Huber was
selected on the advice of Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein.
“So who picked Huber?”Jarrett asked
rhetorically on the Fox Business Network.
“Well I have a hunch here. First of all Sessions
was a senator, he didn’t know anybody in the
Department of Justice. Rod Rosenstein, spent a
lifetime in the Department of Justice, he knows
the players there and he picked an Obama
holdover in Huber,” Jarrett said.
Via Lou Dobbs Tonight:
In a piece entitled, “Clinton, Comey, Uranium
One: Who Is John W. Huber?“, Judicial Watch’s
Micah Morrison provides some interesting
background on Huber’s past high-profile cases
and why he could be a potentially “intriguing,”
pick in relation to Uranium One.
…[T]he Rosetta Stone for understanding Utah’s
corruption problems may be the sprawling saga
of John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff, two former
Utah attorneys general charged with a multitude
of corruption charges. The case gripped the
state for years. Mr. Huber’s office recused itself
in 2013 from the investigations, transferring the
case to Colorado. Later, the Justice Department
428
declined to charge either man and Utah state
prosecutors took over. […]
That’s how the game is played in Utah, locals say. Power
brokers have the state wired. Mr. Huber seems like a
decent man, but his tenure at the top of Utah law
enforcement has been short and undistinguished. Why
appoint him to such a sensitive position in Washington?
One explanation is that Mr. Sessions knows precisely who
Mr. Huber is and what he wants from him. Mr. Sessions
went to bat for Mr. Huber in his re-appointment as U.S.
Attorney and named him vice-chair of the prestigious
Attorney General’s Advisory Committee. Mr. Huber, a
political survivor, knows precisely who Mr. Sessions is
and what the attorney general wants from him.
Another more intriguing explanation is that Mr. Sessions
needs someone who knows Utah. One part of Mr. Huber’s
mandate, as outlined in the GOP letter, is the
“purchase of Uranium One by the company
Rosatom, whether the approval of the sale was
connected to any donations to the Clinton
Foundation, and what role Secretary Clinton
played in the approval of the sale.”
Uranium One’s assets included significant holdings in
Utah and nearby states. Prosecutors—and the media, so
transfixed by the Mueller probe that they decline to look
elsewhere—should follow the Uranium One money in
Utah and the rest of the West.
Nonetheless, D.C. insiders say some in Congress are
displeased with Sessions’ decision to defer the
appointment of a second special counsel.
The Washington Examiner’s Byron York revealed some
lawmakers think Huber acting as a quasi-special counsel is
a “joke.”
“Jeff Sessions says no to second special
counsel to investigate Trump-Russia
investigation, but appoints USAttorney in Utah
to lead a kinda/sorta special investigation inside
DOJ. Critics in House unhappy. ‘A farce,’ says
one. ‘A joke,’ says another. Others holding fire,
for now,” York tweeted.
 Madeleine Albright On CBS:
I’m Not Saying Trump Is A Fascist (She Is)
By Scott Whitlock
April 10, 2018 12:30 PM EDT
The journalists at CBS This Morning on Tuesday donated
over seven minutes of air time to Madeleine Albright’s
shameful attempt to claim that Donald Trump is turning
the United States into a fascist regime. Co-host Bianna
Golodrygra introduced the liberal ex-Secretary of State by
touting her new book Fascism as a warning “that
contemporary leaders are turning to the same tactics used
by fascists like Hitler and Mussolini nearly a century ago.”
Get it? After talking about Nazis, Communists and other
genocidal murderers, Norah O’Donnell quoted the book:
“If we think of fascism as a wound from the past that had
almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like
ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab.” “What
has Trump done,” O'Donnell wondered?
As to how Trump has connections to Hitler and others,
Albright linked: “I think part of the issues here, first of all,
he's attacked the free press which is central to having a
democracy.”
Finally, co-host John Dickerson pushed back:
429
Republicans would say, "Look, he won an election, the
American people elected him." And what his critics will do
is the minute he does something they don't like, they say
he's a fascist, and that overstates the case.
After all this, Albright tried to dance away from the
premise of her book Fascism. But it came away sounding
like Trump may not be a fascist-fascist. He’s just very
similar to those dictators:
I'm actually not saying he's a fascist. I'm saying that there
are certain elements of the kind of behavior that he has that
reminds me of a variety of issues that have taken place.
But I think that this is not about just this election. This is
about what is going on in our society in terms of it respect
for democratic principles. I think Trump is the most
undemocratic president I have ever seen in American
history.
How transparent is what Albright is doing? This is how the
liberal talk show The View introduced Albright a few hours
later: “Plus why is former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright warning that President Trump could turn America
into a fascist country?”
It’s rare to say this: But the women of The View know
what’s going on.

8:33:07 to 8:40:27
7 minutes and 20 seconds
BIANNA GOLODRYGA: Former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright is warning of a looming worldwide political threat. During
her career in public service, Albright met with controversial
political figures including former North Korean dictator Kim Jong-
il. Albright argues in her book Fascism: A Warning that
contemporary leaders are turning to the same
tactics used by fascists like Hitler and Mussolini nearly a century
ago. She writes, quote, "We should be awake to the assault on
democratic values that have gather strength in many countries
abroad and is dividing America at home."
Secretary Albright is joining us now with this book which is so
important and comes at such a pivotal time in our country. I
would say the world, as well. You talk about your family escaping
Czechoslovakia when the Nazis invaded only to escape once
again once a communist came to power. Talk about any
similarities that you see now percolating that obviously you went
through and the world went through nearly a century ago.
...
NORAH O’DONNELL: So, you're talking about relentless power
grabs essentially. So, who is doing the appeasement? What can
the world do?
MADELEINE ALBRIGHT I think we're normalizing some of this
and thinking this is just a step, and what is really happening is
that there are leaders that are reacting to something that is
happening within societies. People are not happy. That's for sure.
Some as a result of technology, and they've lost their jobs. Some
as a result of immigrants coming into their countries. And these
leaders are grabbing power by identifying themselves with one
group, and then —
O’DONNELL: With fear.
ALBRIGHT: With fear. And also kind of excluding the individual
rights of other people and being above the law and undermining
democratic institutions.
JOHN DICKERSON: So, who's missing the signals here? Is it the
American government, American senators, the President? Is it
Europe? Is it the populations? Who are the ones missing the
signals?
...
O’DONNELL: I want to read from your book. Because I think you
hit that point when you write, "If we think of fascism as a wound
from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White
House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab."
What has Trump done?
430
ALBRIGHT: I think part of the issues here, first of all, he's
attacked the free press which is central to having a democracy.
He acts as though he's above the law. He has, in fact, used kind
of rallies and propaganda and provided a lot of simplistic answers
to questions and does not respect the rights of others.
O’DONNELL: Yesterday he called from inside the cabinet room,
he called the FBI raid on his personal attorney an attack on our
country.
ALBRIGHT: I find that ridiculous. And it's one of those things
where as I said, we can't have a leader that feels that he is above
the law. The law and the rule of law is the most essential part of a
democratic system.
O’DONNELL: Can I get your take on some of the top foreign
policy challenges for this president?
DICKERSON: Well, let me push back briefly on that which is
Republicans would say, look, he won an election, the American
people elected him. And what his critics will do is the minute he
does something they don't like, they say he's a fascist, and that
overstates the case.
ALBRIGHT: I'm actually not saying he's a fascist. I'm saying that
there are certain elements of the kind of behavior that he has that
reminds me of a variety of issues that have taken place. But I
think that this is not about just this election. This is about what is
going on in our society in terms of it respect for democratic
principles. I think Trump is the most undemocratic president I
have ever seen in American history. And so that's what worries
me. But I do think that we all need to pay attention, which is why
I'm -- this is a warning. That's what the book is about.
O’DONNELL: When it comes to the national security of the
United States, let's talk about that. President Trump has set up
what appears to be, is going to be a global summit, or I should
say, a summit with the leader of North Korea. You've been there.
What are the stakes there in meeting one on one with Kim Jong-
un?
ALBRIGHT: Well, the stakes are very high. I'm actually glad that
there is some desire to have diplomatic talks. But I did go there. It
took an awful lot of preparation. You don't just kind of show up.
We have been trying to figure out a variety of things to do about
North Korea. The former Secretary of Defense, Bill Perry, did a
complete review, all kind of things. So what worries me is the
lack of preparation and a lack of understanding of the terms.
O’DONNELL: Should we believe Kim Jong-un when he says he's
ready to denuclearize?

 POTUS Trump FURIOUS After Finding Out Rosenstein
Signed Off On FBI Raid Of Michael Cohen “Attorney-
Client Privilege Is Dead!”
By Cristina Laila
April 10, 2018, 12:32 Pm
FBI agents raided the office of one of
Trump’s personal lawyers Michael Cohen on
Monday at the request of Special Counsel
Robert Mueller.
They were looking for dirt on Stormy Daniels and seized
attorney-client privileged communications between Trump
and Cohen.
According to the Washington Post, FBI agents took
Cohen’s computer, phone and personal financial records
as part of the search of his office at Rockefeller Center.
Also, according to the New York Times, a special team of
agents will be reviewing documents because conversations
between lawyers and clients are protected in majority of
cases.
President Trump immediately blasted AWOL AG Sessions
and said the FBI raid is “an attack on our country” to a
pool of reporters.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein signed off on the
FBI raid.
Immediately after the FBI KGB raid, The Gateway Pundit
reported Rosenstein was the one who gave permission to
Mueller to send the feds in to kick down doors. The fake
news media is finally catching up with our real news
reporting.
431
The New York Times reported Tuesday that Rosenstein
personally signed off on the FBI raid which infuriated
President Trump; the President reportedly floated the idea
of firing Rosenstein.
President Trump also brought up the fact that Rosenstein
used Hillary’s phony dossier to mislead the FISA court.
Rod J. Rosenstein, the veteran Republican prosecutor
handpicked by Mr. Trump to serve as deputy attorney
general, personally signed off on Monday’s F.B.I. decision
to raid the office of Mr. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s personal
attorney and longtime confidant, several government
officials said.
The early-morning searches enraged Mr. Trump,
associates said, setting off an angry public tirade Monday
evening that continued in private at the White House as the
president fumed about whether he should fire Mr.
Rosenstein. The episode has deeply unsettled White House
aides, Justice Department officials and lawmakers from
both parties, who believe the president may use it as a
pretext to purge the team leading the investigation into
Russia meddling in the 2016 election.
…. In his remarks Monday night, the president lashed out
at Mr. Rosenstein for having “signed a FISA warrant,”
apparently a reference to the role Mr. Rosenstein played in
authorizing the wiretap of a Trump associate in the Russia
inquiry.
The President’s fury continued into Tuesday
morning in a pair of tweets.
Trump tweeted: Attorney–client privilege is
dead!
 Trump followed up with: A TOTAL WITCH
HUNT!!!

 Loretta Lynch: Reporters Repeatedly
Pressed Me To ‘Wrap Up’ Clinton Investigation
By Kyle Drennen
April 10, 2018 1:18 PM EDT
During an exclusive interview with NBC Nightly News
anchor Lester Holt, aired on the Monday evening
newscast, President Obama’s former Attorney General
Loretta Lynch recalled how reporters constantly asked her
when she was going to “wrap up” the Hillary Clinton e-
mail investigation in the midst of the 2016 presidential
campaign.
Holt began the exchange by wondering:
“The timing of the Clinton investigation,
in the middle of the presidential
election, I know that shouldn’t color any
decisions you make, but you certainly
weren’t ignorant of it, were you?” Lynch
replied: “Well, it’s all around you. You
know, my favorite question from
reporters, when they would say, ‘When
are you gonna wrap this up?’ And they
would also add, ‘Because she’s running
for president, you know.’”
The Democrat then assured Holt that it had no bearing on
her handling of the case:
“And it’s part of the context of it but it
cannot figure into the decisions that you
make.”
The interview itself was straightforward and included
many challenging questions to Lynch about her behavior
during the investigation:
 Still, Loretta Lynch’s decisions on the Clinton e-mail
investigation were questioned after she ran into former
President Bill Clinton on an airport apron five months
433
before the election....Did part of you go, “Oh, no, no,
no, no, turn him around”?
 She says they made mostly small talk, nothing about
Mr. Clinton’s wife and her e-mail server. Did you have
any moment where you said, “Mr. President, this is
probably not appropriate or this is gonna look bad”?
 In this hyperpartisan environment we’re in, did you ever
once consider recusing yourself from the Clinton
investigation?
During a preview of the exclusive on Monday’s Today
show, another portion was shown of Holt pressing Lynch
about receiving criticism from former FBI Director James
Comey:
 James Comey was testifying before Congress, I think it
was June of last year. And he noted that you had
asked him to call the Clinton probe a “matter,” not an
investigation. But he said it made him feel – I’m
paraphrasing – it made him feel strange. He noted it.
What did you mean when you said let’s call it a matter
and not an investigation?
 But – so Comey says you want to call it the Clinton
matter, he wants to call it the Clinton investigation. To
the extent, though, that he noted it, that it bothered him,
did he go to you and question your credibility with
regard to the Clinton case?
Teasing the rest of the exchange, he noted: “We also of
course talk about that infamous tarmac meeting when she
met with President Clinton on the airplane in Phoenix.”
While it was to Holt’s credit that he was tough on Lynch
now, NBC repeatedly downplayed or excused her airport
meeting with Bill Clinton when it happened in June of
2016. The network certainly never labeled it “infamous” at
the time.
On June 30, MSNBC anchor and NBC correspondent
Andrea Mitchell dismissed any questions about the
meeting as “conspiracy theories.” The next day, on July 1,
Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd appeared on
Morning Joe and rationalized the meeting as
“happenstance.” On the Today show that same morning,
then-political analyst Mark Halperin argued that Bill
Clinton was just a “really social guy.” Reporting for NBC
Nightly News that evening, Mitchell assured viewers:
“Lynch saying it was social about golf, grandchildren and
visits each had paid to former Attorney General Janet Reno
who is ailing.”
Interesting that Lynch only gets grilled about the
suspicious encounter nearly two years later, not in 2016,
when it was most relevant and necessary.
Here is a full transcript of Holt’s interview with Lynch on
the April 9 Nightly News:
7:11 PM ET
LESTER HOLT: Alright, we’re going to take a turn here and turn
to an NBC News exclusive. Former Obama U.S. Attorney
General Loretta lynch is speaking out for the first time since
leaving the job. It was under her watch that the FBI investigation
was launched in the Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail
server while she was secretary of state. A case that took
unexpected turns and made Lynch a political lightning rod for
Republicans before the election. I met up with her in Manhattan.
The timing of the Clinton investigation, in the middle of the
presidential election, I know that shouldn’t color any decisions
you make, but you certainly weren’t ignorant of it, were you?
LORETTA LYNCH: Well, it’s all around you. You know, my
favorite question from reporters, when they would say, “When are
you gonna wrap this up?” And they would also add, “Because
she’s running for president, you know.” And it’s part of the
context of it but it cannot figure into the decisions that you make.
HOLT: Still, Loretta Lynch’s decisions on the Clinton e-mail
investigation were questioned after she ran into former President
Bill Clinton on an airport apron five months before the election.
LYNCH: It was still 107 degrees outside and I was told that he
wanted to come on the plane and say hello.
HOLT: Did part of you go, “Oh, no, no, no, no, turn him around”?
434
LYNCH: You know, at first, my thought was, you know, I speak to
people all the time. People in public life, people not in public life,
ordinary citizens –
HOLT: Right, but his wife was under investigation by the Justice
Department.
She says they made mostly small talk, nothing about Mr.
Clinton’s wife and her e-mail server. Did you have any moment
where you said, “Mr. President, this is probably not appropriate or
this is gonna look bad”?
LYNCH: Well, I will say that in the course of the conversation, we
spoke and it seemed like we were going to say “Hello, hi, how
are you?” and move on. And then the conversation would
continue.
HOLT: In this hyperpartisan environment we’re in, did you ever
once consider recusing yourself from the Clinton investigation?
LYNCH: Well, that’s always an issue. As I said at the time, I knew
it was going to raise questions in people’s minds. So what you do
is you always consult the legal experts. You always get a legal
answer as to whether or not recusal is required. And had it been,
then that’s what I would have done.
HOLT: Instead, she announced she would abide by whatever
decision career prosecutors made in the case. And so, she
admits she was surprised when FBI Director James Comey
made this announcement.
JAMES COMEY [JULY 5, 2016]: In looking back at our
investigations into the mishandling or removal of classified
information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing
criminal charges on these facts.
HOLT: Rod Rosenstein wrote in his memo recommending
Comey’s dismissal that,“He was wrong to usurp the Attorney
General’s authority on July 5, 2016 and announce his conclusion
that the case,” the Clinton case, “should be closed without
prosecution.” Was Comey wrong? Did he usurp your authority?
LYNCH: Well, it certainly was an unusual move. It was a different
way to deliver a recommendation to the attorney general. I have
not had any of my other law enforcement agencies deliver a
recommendation in a case to me in that way before.
HOLT: Unusual, but it was either right or wrong. Was it right or
wrong?
LYNCH: Well, you know, I think he’s gonna have to speak to why
he took those actions.
HOLT: What was your reaction when you heard Comey had been
fired?
LYNCH: Well, you know, I was – I think I was as surprised as any
American. You know, I don’t know the circumstances behind it.
HOLT: Did you at any point wish he had been fired?
LYNCH: No, I think the FBI director, as well as the other leaders
of the law enforcement agencies of the department carried out
their tremendous responsibilities under a great deal of pressure.
HOLT: The FBI investigation into possible ties between Russia
and the Trump campaign also began under Lynch’s time as
attorney general. She sites the ongoing Mueller investigation as
reason for not speaking in detail about it, but she did defend the
actions and the integrity of the FBI in its handling of the case.

 GOP Rep Jim Jordan: FBI Raided Trump’s Lawyer And
Got Privileged Information Yet They Let Hillary Clinton
Destroy Emails (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
April 10, 2018, 2:23 Pm

Jim Jordan then finished by demanding the FBI and DOJ

Freedom Caucus members, Jim Jordan (R- hand over the documents the oversight committee has
OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC) appeared on asked for.
Fox News Tuesday morning to discuss the
DOJ missing the April 5th deadline to hand VIDEO:
over documents on Obama’s FISA abuse
and Hillary’s email investigation.

Rep Jim Jordan highlighted the FBI’s double standards in

how they handled Hillary’s investigation versus their raid
of Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.

“Think about the double standard. Yesterday we

had the FBI raid the president’s attorney’s
residence and his business and they got
information that is privileged information,” Jim
Jordan began.
Jim Jordan then pointed out that Hillary Clinton and her
lawyers were able to choose what to do with her 60,000
emails.
Hillary got to choose which emails were personal and
which ones they kept and which ones they destroyed.
No raid of Hillary Clinton or her crooked lawyers even
though she destroyed evidence that was under subpoena.
The Justice Department missed the initial
April 5th deadline to give the House
Judiciary Committee over 1.2 million
documents related to Hillary’s email
investigation and FISA abuses.
House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) sent
a subpoena to the Justice Department on March 22nd
requesting documents related to Hillary Clinton’s private
server and email investigation.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was to appear
before the House Judiciary Committee April 5th.

 CNN's Dystopian Profile On Michael Cohen
By Ryan Foley
April 10, 2018 2:34 PM EDT
During Tuesday's edition of CNN's New Day, a package
narrated by Gloria Borger was aired, painting a very
unflattering picture of President Trump's longtime attorney
and confidante Michael Cohen, who had his office raided
by federal investigators on Monday. Accompanied by eerie
music that would ordinarily appear in a film-noir or big
screen thriller, Borger's narration described Cohen as a
"consigliere," while one of the subjects she interviewed
referred to him as President Trump's "Mini-Me."
The reporter introduced her package by describing the
Trump Presidency as a “soap opera in which a porn star
accepts a payoff to keep quiet about her affair with Donald
Trump.” As the segment began, the chyron “Michael
Cohen: President Trump’s Loyal Fixer” appeared on the
bottom of the screen.
Borger interviewed several subjects for her piece, most of
whom do not have a favorable view of President Trump.
She managed to secure an interview with Sam Nunberg,
the Former Trump aide who became a media darling after
he said during a series of interviews that the Special
Counsel may have something on the President. Nunberg
referred to Cohen as President Trump’s Ray Donovan, a
fictional TV “fixer” who has the signature phrase “I’ll take
care of it.”
She also interviewed Michael Cohen’s attorney David
Schwartz, who said that “Every dinner I’ve been at with
Michael, the boss has called.” Following that statement
from Schwartz, Borger declared: “Cohen did not call the
boss, he says, when he decided to pay Stormy Daniels
$130,000 out of his own pocket 11 days before the
election.” Michael Avenatti, attorney for Stormy Daniels,
referred to such a claim as “ludicrous.”
Referring to Cohen as the President’s "consigliere," Borger
added, “a version of his longtime mentor, the lawyer Roy
437
Cohn, a controversial pit bull and aggressive defender of
all things Trump, no questions asked.” President Trump
has referenced his relationship with Cohn, asking
“Where’s my Roy Cohn?” Carl Bernstein brought this up
when trying to compare President Trump to the
“authoritarian demagogue” Joe McCarthy, whom Cohn
also worked with.
Borger sat down with Michael D’Antonio, a biographer
who wrote an unflattering profile on Trump. D’Antonio
referred to Cohen as the President’s “Mini-Me" and
accused Cohen of threatening him by saying, "you've got
yourself an f-ing lawsuit, buddy."
She asked D’Antonio if Cohen had any desire to work in
the Trump White House or serve as White House Counsel.
In his response, D’Antonio referred to Cohen as “the guy
who not only knows where all the bodies are buried, he
buried a lot of them himself and that ironically disqualified
him.”
The eight-minute segment featured many unflattering
poses of Cohen, including one of the President’s attorney
looking at a black-and-white reflection of himself in the
mirror. One who did not know better could have easily
mistaken the piece on Cohen for a profile on a serial killer.
The profile on Cohen airs just one day after FBI agents
raided his office and hotel room. The media probably
already had a negative opinion of Cohen, who has
described himself as “Mr. Trump’s pit bull”, to begin with.
The news of the FBI raid, which first broke less than 24
hours ago probably only reinforced their pre-existing
opinions of him as a thug. If nothing else, it gave CNN an
excuse to air this hit piece.

CNN New Day
04/10/18
07:51 AM
ALISYN CAMEROTA: The FBI raided the office and hotel room
of President Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen. CNN
has learned that authorities seized information relating to Stormy
Daniels in the raid. Mr. Cohen admitted he paid $130,000 in
exchange for Daniels’ silence about an alleged affair. And that’s
just one of many moves that Cohen has made to try to protect his
famous client. CNN’s Gloria Borger has more on President
Trump’s loyal fixer.
GLORIA BORGER: In the soap opera in which a porn star
accepts a payoff to keep quiet about her affair with Donald
Trump, there’s got to be a guy who gets it done.
MICHAEL AVENATTI: Where is Michael Cohen?
(New clip)
AVENATTI: Where’s Mr. Cohen?
(New clip)
AVENATTI: Where is this guy?
(New clip)
AVENATTI: Where is this guy?
BORGER: Michael Cohen is where he’s been since 2007,
standing behind Donald Trump or closer, in his back pocket.
SAM NUNBERG: Michael was, I’d always like to say the Ray
Donovan, of the office.
RAY DONOVAN: I’ll take care of it.
NUNBERG: He took care of what had to be taken care of. I don’t
know what had to be taken care of but all I know is that Michael
was taking care of it.
DAVID SCHWARTZ, ATTORNEY FOR MICHAEL COHEN: He’s
the guy that you could call at 3 in the morning when you have a
problem.
BORGER: Do you know stories of Donald Trump calling him at 3
in the morning?
SCHWARTZ: Donald Trump has called him at all hours of the
night. Every dinner I’ve been at with Michael, the boss has called.
BORGER: But Cohen did not call the boss, he says, when he
decided to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 out of his own pocket
11 days before the election.
AVENATTI: I think it’s ludicrous.
BORGER: So you believe 100 percent Donald Trump knew?
AVENATTI: 100 percent.
438
MICHAEL D’ANTONIO, TRUMP BIOGRAPHER: There’s not a
meeting that takes place, there’s not an expenditure that is
authorized that he doesn’t know about.
BORGER: Cohen wouldn’t go on the record for this piece but his
friends claim it’s all part of his job in Trump world. Giving the
boss deniability and protection.
SCHWARTZ: If you know the relationship between the two
people, he took care of a lot of things for Mr. Trump without Mr.
Trump knowing about it. That’s part of the overall structure is that
Michael had great latitude to take care of matters.
BORGER: In Michael Cohen, Trump hired his consigliere, a
version of his longtime mentor, the lawyer Roy Cohn, a
controversial pit bull and aggressive defender of all things Trump,
no questions asked. After D’Antonio finished his book on Trump,
he got the Cohen treatment in what turned out to be an empty
threat.
D’ANTONIO: Then he got mad and it was well, you just bought
yourself an f-ing lawsuit, buddy. I’ll see you in court.
BORGER: In 2011, Michael Cohen described his job this way.
COHEN: My job is, I protect Mr. Trump. That’s what it is. If
there’s an issue that relates to Mr. Trump that is of concern to
him, it’s of course concern to me and I will use my legal skills
within which to protect Mr. Trump to the best of my ability.
BORGER: Cohen, a sometimes Democrat, first came to Trump’s
attention after buying apartments in Trump developments, then
went to the mat for Trump against one of his condo boards and
won.
SCHWARTZ: Trump loved him for it. I mean, that was the
beginning of it and then after that, they became close. It was
much more than an attorney-client relationship. It was, it was
something much deeper, almost father and son kind of, kind of
thing. Always hot and cold, they, Donald Trump could be yelling
at him one second and saying he’s the greatest person in the
world the next second. Donald Trump knew that Michael always
had his back.
BORGER: For Trump, it wasn’t about pedigree. Cohen, who is
51, got his degree from Western Michigan’s Cooley Law School
and had some initial success in the less than gentile world of
New York taxi cab medallions.
NUNBERG: If you look where Michael came from in his legal
career before he started working for Trump Org, it wasn’t like he
came from a white shoe law firm. He came from, you know, a
hard nosed, a hard nosed New York trial firm. Trump has an eye
for talent and this was somebody that I mean, he used to call him
his bulldog, his tough guy.
BORGER: At the Trump Organization, he’s done a bit of
everything; running a mixed martial arts company, securing real
estate branding deals and even taking care of transportation.
NUNBERG: You know, the famous Trump plane? There was an
engine issue that he actually take care of and got a really good
deal on.
SCHWARTZ: Watching him is, is, it’s like, it’s like a reality show.
He’s got three phones, he’s got the hard line, he’s got two lines,
he’s texting. He’s on the computer.
D’ANTONIO: You can almost say this is Donald Trump’s Mini-
Me. For a guy who started really in the middle class on Long
Island to now be quite wealthy himself, known internationally and,
yes, he’s in a bit of a jam with the Russia scandal.
BORGER: In the eye not only of Stormy but also of interest to the
Special Counsel Bob Mueller and Congress.
COHEN: I look forward to giving all the information that they’re
looking for.
BORGER: During the campaign, when Trump said he had no
contact with Russia, Cohen was privately trying to cut a deal for a
Trump Tower Moscow. It never happened but Mueller has asked
about it.
NUNBERG: The sad reality is that Michael pursuing that Trump
Tower deal in December is just another factor that goes into this
whole Russia narrative.
BORGER: Cohen’s name was also in the infamous dossier which
alleges he traveled to Prague to meet with Russians. He’s
completely denied it and is suing Buzzfeed, which published it.
SCHWARTZ: It’s immeasurable the damage that’s been caused
to him, to his family.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I will faithfully execute...
439
BORGER: When Trump became President, he did not bring his
brash wingman to Washington. Do you think he wanted to be in
the White House, be White House Counsel or...
D’ANTONIO: There must have been a part of him that was
dreaming of a great job at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue but he’s
also the guy who not only knows where all the bodies are buried,
he buried a lot of them himself and that ironically disqualified
him.
COHEN: They say I’m Mr. Trump’s pit bull, that I am his, I’m his
right hand man. I mean there’s, I’ve been called many different
things around here.
BORGER: Now he may be called to testify with the Stormy
Daniels case in Federal Court.
SCHWARTZ: I know Michael Cohen for over 21 years and I know
that he will not rest, he will not sleep, he doesn’t sleep anyway,
right, until he recovers every single penny from Stormy that’s due
the LLC.
AVENATTI: I’ve seen a lot of attorneys use intimidation tactics.
The problem is, is if that is your speed and if you are a one-trick
pony and you use that in every case, when all of a sudden you
run up against somebody that doubles down and that isn’t
intimidated, well, then you’re lost.
BORGER: Cohen flew to Mar-a-Lago to dine with the President
the night before Stormy Daniels appeared on 60 Minutes
because if you’re Michael Cohen, you’re the ultimate loyalist.
COHEN: The words the media should be using to describe Mr.
Trump are generous, compassionate.
BORGER: And you still believe Donald Trump will be loyal.
COHEN: Kind, humble, honest.
BORGER: To you. Gloria Borger, CNN, Washington.
 Trump-Russia Witch Hunt Expands YET AGAIN As
Mueller Probes New Meetings In Seychelles
By Joshua Caplan
April 10, 2018, 2:48 Pm
A new report reveals the Trump-Russia
witch hunt has expanded yet again with
special counsel Robert Mueller now probing
additional meeting in the Seychelles.
NJ.com reports:
The sources said several of those meetings
took place around the same time as another
meeting in the Seychelles between Erik Prince,
founder of the security company Blackwater,
Kirill Dmitriev, the director of one of Russia’s
sovereign wealth funds, and Crown Prince
Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the effective
ruler of the United Arab Emirates (also known
as “MBZ”). Details of that earlier meetingwere
first reported by the Washington Post last year.
[…]
The inquiry into the meetings in the Seychelles suggests
there is growing interest on the Mueller team in whether
foreign financing, specifically from Gulf states, has
influenced President Trump and his administration.
.
440
Documents obtained by this reporter, and interviews with
those familiar with the probe, suggest Mueller is also
looking at other foreign influencers, including individuals
from Russia and from Saudi Arabia.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Mueller is
already investigating whether Prince misled the House
Intelligence Panel over a meeting he had in the
Seychelles in January of 2017.
CNN reported:
In testimony last November before the panel,
Erik Prince was questioned extensively about
the January 2017 Seychelles meeting and
whether it was an attempt to set up secret
communications between the Trump
administration and Russia. As Prince furiously
denied that was the case, he also did not reveal
that George Nader — a Lebanese-American
businessman and Middle East specialist with
ties to the Trump team — also attended at least
one meeting there, raising fresh questions
among Democrats about whether Prince misled
the panel when testifying under oath.
Prince, a Trump associate and brother of
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, disclosed to
the committee that he had met with United Arab
Emirates officials and a Russian banker, Kirill
Dmitriev, during that trip.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) recently told CNN’s
Wolf Blitzer that reports about Nader are
“inconsistent” with Prince’s testimony before his
committee.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) calls the charge
“bullsh*t.”

State Department With Lawsuit For
Uranium One Documents

communication sent to and from officials in the offices

of the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General,
Office of Legal Counsel, and the National Security
Division from January 20, 2009 through December 31,
2013.

The State Department was asked to produce:

 Any records relating to the company Uranium One

On Tuesday, conservative watchdog group
Judicial Watch announced it filed a lawsuit
against the DOJ and State Department for all
records relating to the Uranium One
scandal.
(otherwise known as Uranium One, Inc. or SXR
Uranium One, Inc.), including records of
communication sent to and from officials in the Office of
the Secretary of State, Office of the Legal Advisor,
Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and
International Security Affairs, Office of Arms Control,
Verification and Compliance, Office of International
Security and Nonproliferation, and the Office of
Political-Military Affairs from January 20, 2009 through
December 31, 2013.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said he hopes to end

the Uranium One cover-up with these lawsuits.

Via Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit
against the U.S. Department of Justice and the
U.S. Department of State for all records of
communications relating to Uranium
One (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of
Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00722)). The suit was filed
in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia on March 29.

Judicial Watch sued the agencies after they

failed to respond to two December 22,
2017, FOIA requests. Judicial Watch asked the
Justice Department for:

 All records regarding, the company Uranium One

approved the partial sale of Canadian mining company
Uranium One to the Russian nuclear company Rosatom,
ultimately giving Russia 20% of U.S. Uranium.
Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to
provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton
Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.
The Clintons took the cash from Uranium

by Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of
the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed
with the Obama administration wherein she promised and
agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure
as Secreatary of State.
Comey, Mueller and Rosenstein
are ALL linked to the Uranium
One scandal.
The Uranium One scandal is one of the biggest scandals to
ever rock Washington D.C.
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats constantly shriek about
how dangerous Putin is, yet they can’t explain the rationale
behind Hillary’s State Department approving the sale of
20% of our Uranium reserves to the Russians.
 Trump Must Be
The Strong Horse Now
By Roger L Simon
April 10, 2018
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
Lee Smith's seminal The Strong Horse: Politics, Power
and the Clash of Arab Civilizations (2010) explains how
the Arab world typically follows the leader with the most
strength and power, i. e. the strong horse.
This proclivity for the powerful does not restrict itself to
the Middle East, however. Xi Jinping these days is a
pretty strong horse. Nor does it even restrict itself to
dictators. Winston Churchill may have been the strongest
horse of the last hundred years, having led the allies from
the brink of defeat to victory in World War II, sometimes
through sheer force of will.
Now it's Donald Trump's turn. Russia, China, Syria, Iran,
North Korea, among other countries and non-state actors,
not to mention a whole host of domestic foes, have all
aligned themselves against him (and consequently
America) in various degrees.
At the same time, an investigation into his inner circle
threatens to sweep up virtually everyone from his personal
lawyer to his son while his adversaries chortle.
But these adversaries, ambitious and vengeful as they are,
have little idea of the chaos that will ensue in this country
should Trump fall, the ruptures that will occur. And if they
do understand that, they are the vilest of men and women.
It is a chaos that will engulf Western Civilization itself,
because Europe, the weakest of horses for decades, is in no
position to defend its own values. They have already
abdicated.
.
443
So Trump must be the strong horse and he must do it
swiftly and thoroughly. In response to Assad's use of gas,
he must deliver a heavy punishment (huge, in his words)
all at once to the Syrians and their allies -- Russia, Iran and
Iran's lackey those international drug pushers Hezbollah.
This does not mean getting ensnared in a war. Just
administer a deep, serious and paralyzing wound they will
never forget and get out. Destroy Syria's air fields and
planes, as an example, laying waste to Russia's missile
defenses in the process. Increase economic sanctions on
Putin to the max. The ruble is already tanking. Keep up the
pressure until Putin blinks or the Russian people rise up
against the dictator. Blast every discernible Iranian
presence in Syria to kingdom come while warning the
mullahs the same will happen to them at home if they
make a peep. And, of course, void the absurd nuclear deal
with the added warning that even the slightest move to
atomic weaponry on their part will mean a massive air
attack.
And assassinating Assad would be a benefit to humanity
into the bargain, no matter what Vogue magazine may
have said.
Do not wait for the UN to authorize any of this because
that would never happen. If a coalition of the willing joins
us, whether it's the French, the British, the Saudis or
whoever, so much the better. But again -- don't wait.
What Trump does will be viewed carefully in Beijing and
Pyongyang, and the Chinese and North Koreans will react
accordingly.
Already he seems to have been making headway with
them. Xi Jinping announced a series of conciliatory trade
measures Monday; Little Rocket Man wants to talk. If
things are to change, if these pronouncements are to
become reality, Trump must be the strong horse.
Let Mueller stew. Let the Wag the Dog useful idiots at
NBC natter on. Just do it. If not now, when?
 Behold Lemon’s Verbal Hyperventilation Over ‘Historic,’
‘Unbelievable’ Day; America ‘On The Brink’
By Curtis Houck
April 10, 2018 3:51 PM EDT

CNN Tonight host Don Lemon has been prone to
meltdowns over the latest Trump controversy, so
Monday’s news concerning the Mueller probe, Michael
Cohen, and Syria were bound to set the liberal journalist
off and he certainly did over the “historic” and
“unbelievable” day that has America “on the brink.”
Following two hours of gabfests on CNN’s AC360, Lemon
seemed exasperated when he appeared on camera at the
top of the 10:00 p.m. Eastern hour.
office and nobody, not even the
President, is above the law.”
Citing one anonymously-sourced Trump scoop after
another, Lemon later took a jab at Trump’s body language
when he spoke to reporters early Monday evening about
Mueller:
Do you see the body language there? The
Mueller investigation is not over. So the
President is wrong, wrong when he claims
they found no collusion and the fact is,
Robert Mueller is a Republican, but
sources warn the President's anger could
lead to him firing Mueller.

Lemon wrapped up before bringing on the first of many

panels to almost uniformly agree with his viewpoint by
invoking CNN’s porography obsession with Tuesday’s
New York Post cover featuring Stormy Daniels undressing
herself as part of a strip club routine:

“So these pictures say it all. The

in Syria,” an unsettled Lemon fretted.

He continued before the first soundbite from the President:

CNN Tonight with Don Lemon

by grim-faced military leaders, in what
10:00 p.m. Eastern
was planned as a meeting about Syria,
his arms folded as he gave the talk,
blasting the FBI raid today on his
personal attorney Michael Cohen.”

Lemon was still locked and loaded after the clip, stating as
if he’s anything but a neutral journalist with not one ax to
grind:

“So let me be absolutely clear about

this. The President is absolutely wrong.
Nobody broke into Michael Cohen's

444
DON LEMON: I can't — the magnitude of this day — it is
unbelievable. It is historic. It is a moment when our country is on
the brink — on the brink of what could turn into a constitutional
crisis and potentially on the brink of military action in Syria. A
furious President Trump, surrounded by grim-faced military
leaders, in what was planned as a meeting about Syria, his arms
folded as he gave the talk, blasting the FBI raid today on his
personal attorney Michael Cohen.
DONALD TRUMP: So I just heard that they broke into the office
of one of my personal attorneys — a good man — and it's a
disgraceful situation. It's a total witch hunt. I've been saying it for
a long time. I've wanted to keep it down. We've given, I believe,
over a million pages' worth of documents to the special counsel.
LEMON: So let me be absolutely clear about this. The President
is absolutely wrong. Nobody broke into Michael Cohen's office
and nobody, not even the President, is above the law. A dozen
FBI agents armed with search warrants legally seized documents
from Cohen's office, his hotel room, and reportedly his home. A
source telling CNN those documents are related to — Stormy
Daniels. Another source telling CNN the search warrant was very
broad and included bank records, but ominously, President
Trump views this as an attack on him and on the country.
Sources telling CNN tonight that the Cohen raid — that Cohen
raid sent the President over the edge, because his attorney is like
a surrogate family member.
TRUMP: It's a disgrace. It's frankly a real disgrace. It's a — an
attack on our country and it's an attack on what we all stand for.
So when I saw this and when I heard it, I heard it like you did. I
said, that is really now on a whole new level of unfairness.
LEMON: So he believes it's unfair and it's an attack on him and
he believes it's politically motivated. Never mind that these are
the facts. It's his own hand-picked Deputy Attorney General
overseeing the Mueller investigation and today's raid was
authorized by the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan who was hand-
picked by guess who? President Trump.
445
TRUMP: They found no collusion whatsoever with Russia. The
reason they found it is there was no collusion at all. No collusion.
This is the most biased group of people. These people have the
biggest conflicts of interest I've ever seen. Democrats all, just
about all, the Democrats are a couple Republicans that worked
for President Obama.
LEMON: Do you see the body language there? The Mueller
investigation is not over. So the President is wrong, wrong when
he claims they found no collusion and the fact is, Robert Mueller
is a Republican, but sources warn the President's anger could
lead to him firing Mueller.
TRUMP: Why don't I just fire Mueller?
JOHN DECKER: Yes, fire the guy.
TRUMP: Well, I think it's a disgrace what's going on. We'll see
what happens, but I think it's a really a sad situation when you
look at what happened and many people have said, you should
fire him. Again, they found nothing and in finding nothing, that's a
big statement.
LEMON: Remember the investigation is not over yet. They
haven't found nothing and it's not just Mueller who could be on
the President's sights tonight, in the President's sights tonight. A
source says he may be even more angry at Rod Rosenstein and
at Jeff Sessions.
TRUMP: The Attorney General made a terrible mistake when he
did this and when he recused himself, or he should have certainly
let us know if he was going to recuse himself, and we would have
put a different attorney general in. So he made what I consider to
be a very terrible mistake to the country, but you'll figure that out.
LEMON: So these pictures say it all. The President outraged over
the FBI raid on his attorney, while his favorite New York tabloid
weighs in with the headline “Strip Search.” There it is on your
screen. New York Post: “Strip Search.”

 REPORT: Alan Dershowitz Huddling With Trump At
White House Amid Rumors POTUS Wants
Lawyer To Join Legal Team
By Joshua Caplan
April 10, 2018, 4:59 Pm
A day after the FBI raided the offices of
longtime Trump attorney Michael Cohen,
lawyer Alan Dershowitz is huddling with the
President at the White House.
“Some news – Dershowitz has been at the
White House for part of today as Trump seeks
his input, and he’s supposed to have dinner
with the president tonight, per WH sources,”
New York Times White House Correspondent,
Maggie Haberman tweeted.
In response, Axios reporter Jonathan Swan says that he
heard rumors Trump wants Dershowitz to join his legal
team.
447
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Dershowitz
joined Sean Hannity on Monday night following the raid
on Cohen.
Earlier that day, FBI agents raided the office of one of
Trump’s personal lawyers, Michael Cohen, with the
blessing of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Alan Dershowitz: This is a very dangerous day today for
lawyer-client relations. I deal with clients all the time. I tell
them on my word of honor all the time that what you tell
me is sacrosanct. And now they say, just based on
probable cause, even though they know there was
cooperation, with Cohen. They can burst into an office
grab all the computers. Then give it to another FBI agent
and say, “You’re the firewall. We want you to now read all
these confidential communications. Tell us which ones we
can get and which ones we can’t get.” You know, if the
shoe were on the other foot, if this were Hillary Clinton
being investigated and they went in her lawyer’s office the
ACLU would be on every television station in America,
jumping up and down. The deafening silence of the ACLU
and civil libertarians about the intrusion into the lawyer-
client confidentiality is appalling.

 Rep. Mark Meadows Is ‘Tired’ Of
The DOJ’s Subpoena ‘Excuses’
House Freedom Caucus Chief Warned That 'There Will Be Consequences Well
Beyond Contempt Of Congress' If The Department Fails To
Comply With This Week's Deadline
By Kathryn Blackhurst
Updated 10 Apr 2018 At 6:31 PM

Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said

Sessions and Wray “understand the concerns of members
of Congress and the president about the pace of production
and level of redactions in the documents already received
by the committee.”

Related: Five Ways Congress Can Stop the FBI’s

Trump-Russia Coverup

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) warned Tuesday of
“consequences well beyond contempt of Congress” if
Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials continue
withholding documents in defiance of the subpoena issued
by Congress. The documents relate to former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server.
Meadows didn’t specify what those consequences would
be, but Congress does have constitutional authority to jail
or fine individuals who defy congressional subpoenas to
produce documents or provide testimony. The last time
Congress jailed an individual for defying a subpoena was
1935.
“You know, it would just take one simple
phone call from the deputy attorney general
to Michael Horowitz, who has all these
documents, who’s testified under oath that
it’s not a problem to give it to Congress and
it wouldn’t impede his investigation,” said
Meadows (pictured above right). “Make that
phone call today. If not, there will be
consequences well beyond contempt of
Congress.”
But Meadows, who is chairman of the conservative House
Freedom Caucus, and other lawmakers have run out of
patience with the slow production and massive redactions
made in the few documents they have received thus far.
“I don’t feel for [Flores]. And let me just tell
you, I’m tired of the excuses,” Meadows
said Tuesday on Fox News’ “Fox &
Friends.” “I can tell you it’s more spin.”
“And here is what we do know. I sent a
letter to the attorney general outlining 10
redactions of material facts. Not just names
here or there, but material facts that the
DOJ and FBI are hiding from Congress,”
Meadows continued. “And when that
happens, enough is enough. Let’s get the
documents. Let’s do it this week. And if this
attorney general and deputy attorney
general can’t do it, let’s find two who will.”

Horowitz is DOJ’s Inspector General. He has been

investigating the department’s conduct on the Clinton and
related issues for months and has most, if not all, of the
documents sought by Congress.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director

Christopher Wray appointed U.S. Attorney John Lausch of
the Northern District of Illinois Monday to speed efforts to Flores said in statement earlier that
deliver the estimated 1.2 million documents sought for
months ago by the House Committee on the Judiciary.
450
 "Lausch will also be available to meet with
members of Congress to discuss the
redaction process to ensure that they
remain confident in the department's efforts
to be as transparent as possible with the
committee."
But Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said they
would not be satisfied until they receive the unredacted
documents that Horowitz has already reviewed in his
parallel investigation into the department's handling of the
Clinton issues.
"[Flores] talked about getting the redactions
right. How about this? How about just
giving the information to us in an
unredacted form?" said Jordan (pictured
above left).
Jordan argued that there is a marked "double standard"
between how the DOJ and FBI treated the investigations
into Clinton and the Russian collusion investigation into
Trump and his campaign officials.
"Yesterday we had the FBI raid the
president's attorney's residence and his
.
451
business and got information that's
privileged information," Jordan said. "Yet
when Hillary Clinton had 60-some
thousand emails ... they got to decide on
the front end."
Jordan said that Clinton and her associates
"got to decide which [emails] were
personal, which ones they got to keep and
ultimately destroy, and which ones they
gave back to the taxpayers, gave back to
the government."
"So what a double standard we see. Why
don't you just give us the information ... that
we have asked for?" Jordan asked.
Meadows noted that the House committee set deadlines for
this week for the DOJ and FBI to deliver the subpoenaed
documents. If they fail to turn over the documents,
Meadows warned that
"there will be consequences."
 Trump Attorney Uncovers New Unmasking Docs Showing
Samantha Power Actively Worked With Media To
Undermine Trump During Transition (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
April 10, 2018, 6:51 Pm
An attorney for Trump, Jay Sekulow and his
senior counsel Carly Gammill appeared in a
Washington D.C. federal court last week to
find out when they will be receiving
documents related to the Obama unmasking
scandal.
The ACLJ (American Center For Law and
Justice) filed a FOIA lawsuit last summer
and they are just now beginning to receive
documents.
According to the ACLJ, the new documents show
Samantha Power,
who made over 260 unmasking requests to spy
on the incoming administration was also
colluding with the mainstream media,
blatantly insulting President-elect Trump
and actively sought ways to undermine the
incoming administration.
Another important thing to remember is the Obama
administration also changed the way intelligence is shared
throughout the various agencies. Instead of only a few
agencies sharing intel, Obama’s evil administration, at the
last minute expanded it to all 16 intel agencies which of
course increases the chances of leaks to the media.
Via the ACLJ:
The evidence we obtained shows email chains
to and between Power and her Counselor,
452
Nikolaus Steinberg, just three days after the
election in which Power actively discusses an
“idea to seek maximum amplif[ication]” of her
politically biased messaging. Steinberg first
raised the idea of “a useful (and somewhat
cathartic) vessel to Channel some post-Trump
messages about who we are.” Minutes later
Power responds, “Need to move out on 60 mins
idea to seek maximum amplif. [sic] I can write
Charlie or bill Owens if he’s still there.”
After a brief discussion ensued over who would reach out,
later that evening, Steinberg sent Power a “Draft pitch
email” for her to send to 60 Minutes, yet that draft is
completely redacted. Subsequently, he suggested doing the
pitch to 60 Minutes or CBS Sunday Morning on the issue
of refugees, stating,
“with the hook being the foreshadowing that
Trump and company may try to undo all of this.”
Minutes later, Power sent an email to Bill Owens, the
Executive Editor of 60 Minutes:
“We’re still reeling here, as you might imagine. .
. . Not withstanding this, Tuesday’s results have
given us an even greater sense of urgency to
get our work done in our last few months. 70
good long days left!”
In one of the more disturbing emails, on December 14th,
Steinberg replies to an email Power sent under the subject
line “tom friedman today – see last para quote by larry
diamond” (this email appears from the production to
contain no other information). However, Steinberg’s reply
to Power contains a December 9th article from The
Atlantic by Larry Diamond entitled, “Russia and the
Threat to Liberal Democracy,” which furthers a narrative
questioning the legitimacy of the election.
His commentary with the article simply states,
“Indeed. Saw it and read Diamond’s piece
Monday when doing some research. It’s a solid
 piece. Pasted it below and will have it added to
your book.”
This occurred during the height of Power’s “unmasking”
and calls into question what “research” and “book” he was
putting together for her.
What is the Deep State hiding?
The unmaskings were done at the same time FISA
warrants were being granted to illegally spy on Trump’s
camp.. Illegal leaks to the media about Trump’s transition
team plagued key players like Sessions and General Flynn.

Four days later, on December 18th, Power replied to an The pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
interview request from Univision reporter Jorge Ramos –
who had been repeatedly and publically critical of the Jay Sekulow stated he will be aggressively challenging the
incoming President – with an underhanded snub: redactions because the American people deserve to know
the truth.
“If we do something, we will make it good. Ptsd
in retreat – Trump has vanquished it. Let’s see!” Watch Jay Sekulow’s radio show Jay Live where they
discuss the new unmasking documents:
Enter Russia, with just days to go before
then-President elect Donald Trump’s
inauguration:

Finally, and maybe most significantly, the day she

delivered that speech – again just three days before the
inauguration – an email chain under the subject line,

“Russia speech 1am version,” between Power,

Rice, Rhodes, and others is almost completely
redacted. The flurry of email activity occurs
between 1:25 a.m. and 1:45 a.m., and
demonstrates that the three key players in the
unprecedented “unmasking” were literally
working around the clock in the final days of the
Obama Administration.

Then, just hours later, after the speech, in an email chain

under the subject line, “Russia,” between Halie Soifer
(Power’s Policy Advisor), Steinberg, and Power sent her
“as delivered” remarks to two USUN listserves. However,
each of the subsequent replies, including two from Power
herself, are completely redacted.

Further, and of critical importance, is that nothing in the

unredacted portion of either email chain that day is
responsive to our FOIA request. That means, that
something in those redacted email chains – sent just 3 days
before the presidential inauguration – is responsive to our
FOIA request.

 Dershowitz, After Dinner With Trump, Says Mueller
Engaging In 'Subterfuge' And 'Laundering' Info
By Debra Heine
April 10, 2018
Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz on Fox news' Hannity.
Image via YouTube.
Harvard Law professor and high-profile lawyer Alan
Dershowitz spent time at the White House on Tuesday in
the wake of the FBI raid on the home and office of
Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
"It was a pre-arranged, pre-scheduled
meeting with White house staffers
regarding the ongoing peace process in the
Middle East," Dershowitz told Fox News'
Sean Hannity Tuesday night. "I have
advised every president since Bill Clinton
on Israel," Dershowitz explained, saying
that Israel has long been a passion of his.
"It was very nice that I was invited to have
dinner with the president and a few other
people," he added. "We discussed the
Middle East and a range of subjects."
Dershowitz told Hannity that he believes the FBI raid on
Cohen was a violation of his constitutional rights.
"You can't just go and sweep up all lawyer-
client privileged information and then give it
over to some FBI agent or a low-ranking
U.S. attorney and say, 'well, go through it.'"
he said. "The 4th and 6th Amendments
don't just protect against use of evidence in
a criminal trial. They protect privacy.
Imagine if instead of going into lawyer-
client privilege, they tape recorded a
person's confession to his priest or rabbi, or
went into somebody's home and recorded
454
conversations with his wife, or
conversations between a doctor and a
patient? The lawyer-client privilege is as
sacrosanct as that. There has to be a very,
very good reason before any prosecutor
should have a right to look at any such
material," the professor explained.
Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern
District of New York, has reportedly recused himself from
the investigation. Berman was appointed by Attorney
General Jeff Sessions in January after meeting with Trump
in late 2017.
According to the Washington Examiner, the FBI raid was
signed off on by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
who is overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s
investigation.
Hannity argued that he thinks Mueller and Co. are trying to
goad Trump into firing him, but Dershowitz said that he
doesn't believe Trump will fire anyone connected to the
probe.
"What we're seeing is a bifurcation of the
investigation," Dershowitz said, explaining
that because Mueller knows he doesn't
have the authority to look into all of Trump's
pre-presidential activities, he gave that
authority to the Southern District of New
York. "Because apparently they couldn't
find anything substantial when it comes to
the president's exercise of his Article 2
authority," Dersh said.
"That seems like a subterfuge by which
Mueller doesn't have the authority so he
gives it to somebody else," he added. "It's
like laundering information to another
prosecutorial authority."
Dershowitz said Mueller is "trying to have it both ways" in
that the special prosecutor can not formally investigate
Cohen's relationship with Trump, but the Southern District
of New York can. Of course, the Southern District of New
York would not have received any information had it not
been for Mueller.
"It's a dangerous thing to start intruding into
lawyers' offices," Dersh said. "That's not a
good day for democracy."

As the world awaits what the U.S. will do in Syria,

According to Fox News, an announcement

 President Trump has deployed the Harry S. Truman
Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) to the Mediterranean

Syrian territorial waters.
 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, speaking
shoulder-to-shoulder with Emmanuel Macron from
Paris, announced his “readiness to work with allies
on any military response in Syria if needed.”
 Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to
investigate the chemical attack. Russia’s UN envoy
says the draft was designed to fail, which would thus
“justify” unauthorized action in Syria.
 Russia is jamming military signals for some US
drones operating in the skies over Syria, according
to NBC, which cited four military officials.

Despite President Donald Trump mulling military options

following the alleged chemical attack in Syria, Reuters
reported yesterday that the U.S. government has not yet

for the incident.

Reuters reports:

The initial assessment of the U.S. government suggests

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/File Photo | Trump Considered Firing
Mueller
President Donald Trump considered firing Special Counsel
Robert Mueller in December 2017 after the publication of
news stories that turned out to be inaccurate.
Trump told advisers to fire Mueller following reports the
special counsel’s office subpoenaed his bank records from
Deutsche Bank, according to The New York Times.
Trump believed the subpoenas crossed a “red line” he had
set for the Mueller probe, which initially began as an
investigation into possible collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russian government.
Trump ordered Mueller’s firing at least one other
time. Trump demanded White House counsel Don
McGahn fire Mueller in June 2017 because the president
believed the special counsel’s prosecutors and
investigators were politically biased, The Times previously
reported. But Trump backed down after McGahn
threatened to resign.
The stories about the Deutsche Bank subpoenas, which
appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and
Bloomberg on Dec. 5, turned out to be inaccurate. The
outlets issued a correction noting the subpoenas were for
bank records of Trump associates.
.
459
As The Times reports:
In the hours that followed Mr. Trump’s
initial anger over the Deutsche Bank
reports, his lawyers and advisers worked
quickly to learn about the subpoenas and
ultimately were told by Mr. Mueller’s office
that the reports were not accurate, leading
the president to back down.
The new report about the attempt to fire
Mueller is surfacing as the president is
fuming over the FBI raid on the office and
home of Michael Cohen, the longtime
Trump attorney. Agents seized documents
related to payments Cohen made to two
women who claim to have been paid hush
money to cover up affairs with Trump.
Mueller referred the matter to the U.S. attorney’s office in
Manhattan. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who
is overseeing Mueller’s investigation, signed off on the
search warrant.
“It’s a disgrace,” Trump told reporters when
responding to news of the raid.
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump added
when asked whether he plans to fire
Mueller.
“I think it’s disgraceful and so does a lot of
other people. This is a pure and simple
witch-hunt.”
Trump is considering firing Rosenstein, CNN reported
separately on Monday.
 Michael Cohen Speaks Out After FBI Raid
Scott Morefield - Reporter
9:14 PM 04/10/2018
Trump attorney Michael Cohen spoke out for the first time
about Monday’s FBI raid in a phone conversation with
CNN on Tuesday.
“I am unhappy to have my personal
residence and office raided,” said Cohen,
according to CNN’s Don Lemon. “But I will
tell you that members of the FBI that
conducted the search and seizure were all
extremely professional, courteous and
respectful. And I thanked them at the
conclusion.”
.
460
“I would be lying to you if I told that I am
not,” Cohen told Lemon when asked if he
was worried. “Do I need this in my life? No.
Do I want to be involved in this? No.”
While Cohen told Lemon that Monday’s raid on his home
and office was “upsetting to say the least,” he also did not
blame the agents who participated in the search.
According to CNN, “Cohen would not comment further on
the raid, but acknowledged the raids and attention have
had an impact on his family. He wants the investigation to
be over and continues to say everything he did in regards
to paying Stormy Daniels for the non-disclosure agreement
was perfectly legal.”
The Trump attorney remains “very loyal” to the president,
but told CNN that because of the impact on his family he
would have likely handled the payments to Daniels
differently, if he had it to do over again.

An Abuse Of Power — Robert Mueller “Given Too Much
Power” (VIDEO)

April 10, 2018, 9:21 Pm

On Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)
called the FBI’s raid on longtime Trump
lawyer, Michael Cohen, an abuse of power
by special counsel Robert Mueller.
“Going after someone’s personal attorney is a
great overstep, I think, in the authority of the
prosecutor. This is why I have opposed having
special prosecutors for almost anything,” Paul
told Fox News host Bill Hemmer.

“We never should have had Mueller in the first

place,”

“We’ve given too much power to a prosecutor

who’s no longer looking at Russia. He’s looking
at some kind of personal dealings with the
president’s lawyer,” Paul added.

Today, the President unloaded on the raid.

“Attorney–client privilege is dead!” Trump

tweeted.

“A TOTAL WITCH HUNT!!!” Trump added.

 BOOM! Nunes Warns Rosenstein & Wray: Turn Over
Unredacted Documents Or Face IMPEACHMENT
(VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
April 10, 2018, 10:01 Pm
On Fox News Tuesday evening, House
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin
Nunes issued a stern warning to FBI
Director Christopher Wray and Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein: Hand
over the unredacted documents that
congressional investigators have requested
or face not only the prospect of being held
in contempt — but impeachment, as well.
A partial transcript of tonight’s interview with Fox News
host Laura Ingraham and Nunes follows:
462
Ingraham: “You’ve been trying to get
documents for as long as I have been doing this
show. People have been asking why is it that
you haven’t yet held anyone in contempt of
Congress. It’s a big deal to do that. Eric Holder
was held in contempt of Congress as I recall
over the Fast and Furious documents. What
gives here?”
Nunes: “We’re still in a situation where it’s
trickle down documents. We issued the
subpoena in August. We walked through piece
by piece, every time we get a little bit more. As
you know, we had to get out the major
information, which was the information on the
warrant against Carter Page, a Trump
associate. Since that time we’ve been
investigating the State Department and we
especially have an interest in this
electronic communication…. We’re at a boiling
point where we need this two-page
document…”
Ingraham: “Robert Costa is speculating on
Twitter tonight that you are on the verging of
moving to hold Christopher Wray and Rod
Rosenstein in contempt on Congress…”
Nunes: “We are going to get the document. We
are going to get the two pages. So they can
either cough them up now or it will get really
complicating starting tomorrow night and we’ll
have to take all the necessary steps to get the
documents.”
Ingraham: “What are the chance you are going
to hold [Wray and Rosenstein] in contempt of
Congress?”
Nunes: “We’re not only going to hold in
contempt, but we will have a plan to hold in
contempt and impeach.”
Fox News contributor Sara Carter previously reported that
House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes is calling for
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI
Director Christopher Wray to hand over unredacted
documents related to the agency’s Russia probe.
Sara Carter reports:
Chairman Devin Nunes, R-CA, sent the
letter to Department of Justice Assistant
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI
Director Christopher Wray warning them that
their lack of compliance with the committee’s
original Aug. 24, 2017 subpoena to turn over all
requested documents could result in “the
Committee pursuing all appropriate legal
463
remedies, including seeking civil enforcement”
in a federal district court. The committee gave
the FBI and DOJ until April 11 to turn over all
the documentation requested.
The request for the un-redacted version of the originating
“electronic communication” is new and it reveals that the
committee is looking into the FBI’s initiation of the
investigation into alleged collusion between President
Trump and Russia in the 2016 presidential election. The
document would be a detailed report of the FBI’s
reasoning to move forward with the investigation into the
Trump campaign after the bureau was informed by
Australian authorities of a conversation Trump campaign
advisor George Papadopoulos had with one of their
diplomats at a London bar.
 MSNBC Republican Proclaims Founding Fathers
Applauding Cohen Raid From Heaven
By Nicholas Fondacaro
April 10, 2018 12:47 AM EDT

Schmidt suggested that Trump set out to use the military

generals he was meeting with to discuss the situation in
Syria as “political props, while he goes on this
disturbing rant.” And he worried for America’s service
members because an “unhinged and off balance”
president was looking to send them to war.

“It was disturbing to watch him in action

today. It was disturbing to see how he
operates,” Schmidt opined.

The faux Republicans hired by MSNBC are known for

their wild use of hyperbole during their anti-Trump
screeds. But political analyst Steve Schmidt set a high bar
for himself during Monday's 11th Hour when he went on a
loud tirade slamming the President for how he responded
to the news his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen was
raided by the FBI.And he was so happy about the raid, he
claimed:

“you can hear the faint applause from

heaven of this country's founding
fathers.”
Fellow faux Republican Nicolle Wallace was filling in for
disgraced anchor Brian Williams when she let Schmidt
loose to unleash his smears.
“Welcome back. Joining the
conversation is Steve Schmidt, a
veteran Republican strategist, and an
MSNBC political analyst. Steve, go,” she
exclaimed.
“Well, I thought what we saw today was
extremely disturbing, Nicolle,” Schmidt
began as he mocked Trump for having his
arms crossed and for looking like a “dime
store Mussolini.” “That the leader and
the country are synonymous,” he
continued, taking issue with Trump’s
description of the raid as an attack on
America. “And that just goes to show the
degree to which Donald Trump doesn't
understand the United States of
America.”
The so-called Republican then chose to compare the
Trump administration to a terminal cancer patient, but
instead of tumors they found corruption:
It's a person who goes to the doctor and
says I'm not feeling well, and I have some
stomach pain. And the doctor does some
tests and comes back and say, we have
some bad news. We looked and what we
see is cancer is everywhere. In the same
way, I think what the prosecutors have
done is the empowering of the special
counsel that they've looked inside the
Trump organization. They've looked at this
collusion issue, but what they found is
there is corruption everywhere.
Several minutes later, Wallace parroted a question to
Schmidt that Williams usually asked to mock the Trump
White House for being far normal.
“We are light years from normal. We are
outside of the galaxy from normal,” he
declared.

464
And just as Schmidt was getting ready to launch into yet
another anti-Trump screed, he proclaimed that the
Founding Fathers were pleased with watching the special
counsel put the screws to team Trump:
And I think if you listen closely tonight, you can hear the
faint applause from heaven of this country's founding
fathers, who bequeathed to us a nation where the rule of
law is supreme. We are a nation of laws. We are not a
banana republic.
This level of hyperventilation would be humorous if it
wasn’t so sad.

11:25:07 PM Eastern
NICOLLE WALLACE: Welcome back. Joining the conversation is
Steve Schmidt, a veteran Republican strategist and an MSNBC
political analyst. Steve, go!
STEVE SCHMIDT: Well, I thought what we saw today was
extremely disturbing, Nicolle. We see Donald Trump sitting there
with his arms crossed like a dime store Mussolini saying that an
attack on the country is the result of a legally executed search
warrant on his private attorney. What he really means there is
that anything that endangers him politically or otherwise legally
is, in fact, an attack on the country. That the leader and the
country are synonymous. And that just goes to show the degree
to which Donald Trump doesn't understand the United States of
America. It is because the United States of America is a nation of
laws, where the rule of law prevails, and no person, even the
president, is above the law.
And so what we saw of him today is using the senior military
uniform leadership of the country as political props, while he goes
on this disturbing rant, while at the same time speculating about
the use of military force and sending America's fighting men and
.
465
women into harm's way. It was a very, very disturbing
performance, and per The Washington Post reporting, and I think
as evidenced by his comments today, he seems unhinged. He
seems off balance, and he seems unhinged and off balance at an
exact moment in time where he appears to be contemplating
military action. It was disturbing to watch him in action today. It
was disturbing to see how he operates. But his reaction is
obvious because this scandal has moved another giant step
closer to the Oval Office.
(…)
11:31:39 PM Eastern
SCHMIDT: Here's the analogy I would use, Nicolle. It's a person
who goes to the doctor and says I'm not feeling well, and I have
some stomach pain. And the doctor does some tests and comes
back and say, we have some bad news. We looked and what we
see is cancer is everywhere. In the same way, I think what the
prosecutors have done is the empowering of the special counsel
that they've looked inside the Trump organization. They've
looked at this collusion issue, but what they found is there is
corruption everywhere.
(…)
11:46:34 PM Eastern
SCHMIDT: We are light years from normal. We are outside of the
galaxy from normal. This is unprecedented. What we saw today
was an American president say essentially, “I am the state. I am
the country.” And that is simply not the case in the United States
of America. And I think if you listen closely tonight, you can hear
the faint applause from heaven of this country's founding fathers,
who bequeathed to us a nation where the rule of law is supreme.
We are a nation of laws. We are not a banana republic.

 Report: Anti-Trump GOP House Members ‘Happy To
Take Out President’ Over Mueller,
Looming Loss Of Congress
By Kristinn Taylor
April 11, 2018, 12:59 Am

“Needless to say I think if the president

were to fire Robert Mueller at this point
the votes are there to impeach him. A lot
of Republican Congressmen are so
frustrated and realizing they may lose
their reelection that they are perfectly
happy to take out the President with
them because they all blame him.”
I’ll have a write up tomorrow at the
Resurgent dot com.”

Never-Trump leader Erick Erickson reported Tuesday

night via Instagram and Twitter an alleged conversation he
had with an unnamed Republican Congressman over his
and many of his fellow GOP Congressmen’s hatred of
President Donald Trump and their willingness to “take out
the President” through impeachment if he fires Special
Counsel Robert Mueller.

This would be their punishment for what they fear to be

the loss of their Congressional majorities in the House and
Senate come the November elections.

Erickson said the Congressman is

afraid to speak out publicly because he
would be primaried and voted out by the
Trump supporters in his district.

A transcript and embed of Erickson’s Instagram post in

which the Republican Congressman is quoted as saying
they and others are prepared to “take out the President”:

Tonight I got to spend some time at a Safeway grocery

store with a Republican Member of Congress almost all of
you would recognize. You will sometimes see him on Fox
News defending the President. But he has come to despise
the man privately even though he doesn’t say anything in
public right now.

We roamed the aisles of the Safeway grocery store so he

could complain about the President. He knew I would
write about it and is happy to be quoted. He is livid.

466
 Erickson replied to Mother Jones’ David Corn and the
Federalist’s James Hasson about the Congressman’s fear
of going public.

“No way. He won’t. He even said he can’t

or he’d get primaried.”
“Oh he even admits it is because he would
lose a primary if he said this stuff in public.
I’m not defending him. I’m just quoting
him.”
“Yes, keeping his job, but he’s pissed
because he thinks he is going to lose
Erickson also posted several comments on Twitter about
because of Trump.”
the alleged conversation.

“Tonight I got to go grocery shopping with a

congressman. We walked the aisles of a
Safeway grocery store while he bitched
about the president who he has only
recently been on television defending.”
“Best line of the night from talking to a GOP
congressman: “It’s like Forrest Gump won
the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking
stupid Forrest Gump.””
“Same congressman also referred to Kevin
McCarthy as “a green fly circling sh*t”
already lobbying to take Paul Ryan’s job.”

467
 is still the law of the land. Spending is out of control. The
wall is not funded and in fact Congress voted to stop
Trump from building the wall or doing much of anything
to secure the border and fix the immigration system.
Congress has failed to stop the Deep State war on Trump.
And the Senate is stonewalling Trump’s appointments to
the courts and his administration.

Erickson’s secret Congressman and his fellow gutless anti-

Trump Congressmen have only themselves to blame.
Trump is keeping his promises. They need to keep theirs if
they want to keep their jobs.
It is a curious take on things by the Congressman. If
anything is depressing Republican voters it is the failure of
the GOP Congress to enact the Trump agenda. Obamacare

 ‘We’re Not Messing Around Here,’
Nunes Warns Rosenstein, Wray
Failure To Produce An Unredacted Copy Of A Key Document Could Result In Dire
Consequences For Two Key Figures In The Russia Collusion Investigation
By Kathryn Blackhurst
Updated 11 Apr 2018 At 6:30 AM
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI
Director Christopher Wray will face both contempt of
Congress charges and the prospect of impeachment if they
fail to produce thousands of subpoenaed documents,
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Chairman Devin Nunes warned Tuesday on Fox News’
“The Ingraham Angle.”
Nunes is particularly interested in a two-page electronic
communication (EC) that contains the original justification
for the investigation, by the Department of Justice (DOJ)
and the FBI, of allegations members of President Donald
Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with individuals linked
to the Russian government.
“I can tell you this — we are going to get
the document. We are going to get the two
pages,” Nunes said. “They can either
cough them up now, or it will get really
complicated starting tomorrow night, and
we’ll have to take all the steps necessary in
order to get the documents.”
When host Laura Ingraham pressed him for
details, he added that “we will have a plan
to hold in contempt and to impeach —
we’re not messing around here.”
469
Although lawmakers are prepared to take such a drastic
action, Nunes predicted,
"I don't think we're going to have to get
there because they're going to give us the
documents."
Nunes noted that months ago, when the intelligence panel
first requested the two-pager, he "sent" Rep. Trey Gowdy
(R-S.C.) over to view the document, only to discover that
it was "fully redacted" and unreadable.
"I called back several times. I had
conversations with Rod Rosenstein and
with Director Wray," he said. "Mr. Gowdy
and the investigators went over there
again, and there [were] only a few more
things that were unredacted, so most of it
was still redacted."
The committee is now "at a boiling point" where its
members must view the complete, unredacted EC, Nunes
said. The congressman said it seems that every time the
DOJ and FBI "hide something from us" for "a long time,"
lawmakers eventually discover that "it was really bad."
"So now, just the fact that they're not giving
this to us tells me that there's something
wrong here," he said.
Nunes also pointed out that The New York Times and The
Washington Post appear to have received and published
leaked information contained within the EC before
lawmakers even had a chance to view the document.
"But we haven't been able to see the EC to
confirm that [information]," he said.
"Somehow, The New York Times has it, the
American people have read it, but the U.S.
Congress does not have that information.
And we deserve — we have the full right to
that information."

Nunes said he expected that special counsel Robert
Mueller would have been able to control the apparent flow
of leaks from his team.
"It seems like the special counsel is good at
leaking but not so good at actually finding
major felony leakers," he said.
Nunes claimed some of his Democratic colleagues have
accused him of purposefully serving Trump in his stubborn
quest to view the EC and other documents. But Nunes told
Ingraham that he would be "the first person" to stand "on
the steps of the Capitol" and reveal if and when he found
evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
.
470
"I haven't found it yet, but I've found a
whole lot of other stuff that always puts
DOJ and FBI in a bad light, unfortunately,"
he said, accusing the DOJ and FBI of
thinking "that they're above the law."
"Congress, the legislative branch, we
created these agencies. They have a
responsibility to give us documents when
we ask for them. We have the appropriate
clearances. That's why the House
Intelligence Committee exists," Nunes said.
"So, at the end of the day, we're going to
win on this. It's just a matter of how tough
they're going to make it for Congress to
actually do our job under the Constitution
and under the priorities that we're given."

 Wapo Editor Calls For
Paying Trump To Leave Office
SAM DORMAN
APR 11, 2018 | 8:45 AM
One Washington Post editor, apparently so disgruntled by
President Donald Trump's actions, wants to treat him like a
third-world dictator and pay him to leave office.
Citing Trump's lament that the United States was like a
third-world country, global opinions editor Karen Attiah
proposed that
“maybe it's time to start treating him the
same way we treat the leaders of such
nations.”
Her article — entitled, “Let's Pay Trump To Leave
Office” — labeled Trump as America's first “African
president” and suggested he could leave office for the right
price.
“My immodest proposal: Let's save
America from itself and the ravages of this
presidency by offering Trump a big bundle
of money to leave. I'm serious,” she wrote.
.
472
She explained how Africa rewarded good
presidents with a $200,000-per-year salary
if they exemplified quality leadership.
“Trump, America's first African president,
just might be tempted by a nice payday,”
she said. "He may be rich, but he's not
Teodoro-Obiang-of-Equatorial-Guinea-level
rich, you know?
“The promise of $10 million or $100 million
(we have to offer him more than the
Africans, of course) just might induce
Trump to change course for the better. If
cash prizes are supposedly good enough
to improve democracy and development in
Africa, they should be good enough for us,
right?” she asked.
Attiah did not mention how Trump said that as president,
he wouldn't accept any of his $400,000 salary. Throughout
his presidency, he's also donated his quarterly salary to
various government agencies.
Nevertheless, Attiah said Trump “has been known to
overstate his net worth,” apparently hoping he didn't make
as much as he said he did.
“Whatever it takes,” she said. “Nothing less
than the future of the United States is at
stake.”
 Newt Gingrich: Mueller And FBI Are Acting
Like “Stalin” And “The Gestapo In Germany” (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
April 11, 2018, 9:54 Am
Newt Gingrich joined FOX and Friends on Wednesday
morning to discuss the Mueller witch hunt and Paul Ryan’s
departure from Congress.
Newt hammered deep state Robert Mueller and the corrupt
FBI.
Newt Gingrich:
The truth is Mueller has produced
NOTHING about Ppresident Trump and
Russia. If you just look at what his original
assignment was, it is a bust an absurdity.
And instead they have gone off trying to
find ways to create noise. But in terms of
what he was originally asked to look into
Robert Mueller has come up with a big fat
zero and we ought to be honest about that.
The president ought to relax, focus on on
being president… The fact is that
Rosenstein has not done his job. He has
not supervised Mueller. This whole thing is
an absurdity. We’ve now had, Paul
Manafort and his wife, in their pajamas at 3
o’clock in the morning having the FBI break
down the door. We’ve had this last week
Cohen the lawyer had the door taken off
the hinges at 6 in the morning. Show me
one occasion where out of all the different
crimes committed by the Clintons and their
staff they ever had that kind of treatment.
The fact is this is a left-wing bureaucracy of
justice. It is anti-Trump. It is anti-
Republican. People who think that justice is
blind, which it’s supposed to be. No the left
eye is open and what they have done
473
ought to lead to a real debate not just what
they have done about Mueller but about the
whole Justice Department. And remember,
it was Rosenstein who approved going in a
six o’clock in the morning. There is no
reason to have done it. But actually the
same thing about Manafort. How would
anybody watching this show feel if you
woke up at three in the morning and you
and your spouse were still in bed in your
pajamas and there were armed people in
your room and they were the United States
government. And they had no reason to do
it… Comey is off grandstanding. But the
truth is he didn’t do his job in the Bush
administration, he colluded with Schumer
to embarrass President Bush. The truth is
he appointed a special counsel during the
Bush administration that ran wild. And the
truth is he failed to prosecute the people in
the Clinton campaign.
And I think we ought to take this as a
chance to educate the country about
Comey and again to go back to my course
on defending America.
That’s the whole point that we’re
supposed to have the rule of law. It ain’t
the rule of law when they kick in your
door at three in the morning and you’re
faced with armed men and you have no
reason to be told you’re going to have
that kind of treatment. That’s Stalin.
That’s the gestapo in Germany. That
shouldn’t be the American FBI.

 Stephanopoulos Asks Comey
If Trump Should Be Impeached
By Kyle Drennen
April 11, 2018 10:14 AM EDT
In a salacious promo for the network’s exclusive Sunday
night interview with former FBI Director James Comey,
during Wednesday’s Good Morning America, ABC
featured clips of anchor George Stephanopoulos touting
Comey’s comparison of President Trump to a “mob boss”
and asking the fired Bureau chief if the President should be
impeached.
“How strange is it for you to sit here and
compare the President to a mob boss?,”
Stephanopoulos asked Comey as the ad began. The next
softball question to be highlighted:
“Are there things that you know but
haven’t said that could damage
President Trump?”
As the promo concluded, the former Bill Clinton political
operative urged Comey to endorse the impeachment of
Trump:
“Was President Trump obstructing
justice? Should Donald Trump be
impeached?”
A single question included in the commercial dealt with
Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton e-mail
investigation, as Stephanopoulos wondered:
“And to those who say you should have
brought Hillary Clinton before a grand
jury?”
In a breathless write-up of the exchange that has yet to air,
Axios proclaimed:
474
“A source present at the taping says
James Comey’s interview with ABC’s
George Stephanopoulos, airing Sunday
at 10 p.m. as a ‘20/20' special, is ‘going
to shock the president and his team.’”
The hype continued as the article promised:
The source said Comey’s comments, in his first interview
since being fired by President Trump last May,
will generate headlines and “certainly add
more meat to the charges swirling
around Trump.”
According to the source: The Comey interview left people
in the room stunned....Some described the experience as
surreal....
If anyone wonders if Comey will go
there, he goes there.
If there was any question about ABC’s intention in
securing this interview, the picture is becoming clear: a
softball prime time forum for Comey to hawk his new
book and trash the President.
Here is a transcript of the brief promo aired during the
April 11 GMA:
8:26 AM ET
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: How strange is it for you to sit
here and compare the President to a mob boss?

 Meadows: Sessions, Rosenstein ‘Should Be Held In
Contempt’ – Impeaching Wray ‘In The Toolbox’
Christian Datoc - Breaking News and Engagement Editor
10:53 AM 04/11/2018
Rep. Mark Meadows told reporters Wednesday that
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein “absolutely … should be held in
contempt” for not complying with a subpoena from House
Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes.
“Really at this particular point, it’s members
of Congress who have a bigger problem
with Rod Rosenstein [than the president],”
Meadows said in response to a question
about POTUS possibly firing the deputy
AG. “Myself included.”
WATCH:
476
“He is not giving us the documents, and he
is not doing his job,” he continued. “If he is
not going to do the job, he needs to go and
find one that he will do, and so the
frustration with the AG and the deputy AG
is probably more of a focus of Congress,
and it probably makes the president’s
dissatisfaction pale in comparison.”
“They have not complied with the
subpoena. They should be held in
contempt if they can’t get it right.”
Meadows added that impeaching FBI
Director Christopher Wray — an idea first
floated by Nunes — is “in the tool box.”
“Hopefully they will comply long before we
have to go that route, but it is in the tool
box that we have there. Certainly contempt
of Congress is the first step.”
 GOP Snakes Join Democrats –
Will Introduce Bill To Protect Dirty Cop Robert Mueller
By Jim Hoft
April 11, 2018, 12:09 Pm
GOP snakes Lindsey Graham and Thom
Tillis from North Carolina will join with
Democrats to introduce a bill to protect
Dirty Cop Robert Mueller.
This is why Republicans will lose in a
landslide in November.
They can’t keep attacking the president
and defending crooked cops and expect
voters to turn out to support them.
And, of course, they will blame
President Trump for their losses.
The Hill reported:
477
A group of bipartisan senators is introducing new
legislation to limit President Trump’s ability to fire special
counsel Robert Mueller.
Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.). Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.),
Christopher Coons (D-Del.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) will
introduce the legislation, the Special Counsel
Independence and Integrity Act, on Wednesday.
The legislation would let Mueller, or any other special
counsel, receive an “expedited judicial review” within 10
days of being fired to determine if it was for a “good
cause.” If it was determined it wasn’t, he would be
reinstated.
It would also codify regulations that only a senior Justice
Department official can fire a special counsel and that they
must provide the reason in writing.
“We need to ensure not only that special
counsel Mueller can complete his work
without interference, but that special
counsels in future investigations can, too,”
Coons said.
Tillis added that the
“compromise bipartisan bill helps ensure
that special counsels — present or future
— have the independence they need to
conduct fair and impartial investigations.”
 Reality Check: Syrian Gas Attack
Connected To Bigger Conflict?
April 11, 2018
Leading investigative journalist Ben Swann, founder of
Reality Check with Ben Swann, tackles the developing
situation in Syria in light of a reported chemical attack in
his latest episode. As Swann discusses the details of the
recent attack in Douma and the US government’s potential
retaliation strategy, he takes the time to explain what many
mainstream reports do not: the issues concerning evidence
implicating the Syrian government in chemical warfare,
and the complexities arising from Israel’s involvement.
Swann’s latest Reality Check provides an unprejudiced
report of what is actually happening in Syria, which is
truly scarce in the majority of mainstream reports.
The transcript of this episode:
Another devastating report from the Middle East: some 40
children hit by a gas attack in Syria, with Assad’s regime
being blamed.
President Trump tweets Assad is an “animal,” but that
Russia and Iran are responsible for backing him. And there’s
a “big price to pay.”
Twelve hours later, missile strikes hit a Syrian air base, killing 14
including Iranians. Assad blames Israel, and Senator Lindsey
Graham says Israel would have every right to do so “because
Iran is very embedded in Syria.”
So, is there any evidence that the Syrian government is
responsible for the gas attack? And what about the tensions
between Israel, Syria and Iran?
There are major problems with what is being played out in the
Middle East that other media are just going to ignore. But we
won’t.
478
Let’s give it a Reality Check.
It is a difficult issue to take on. Largely because emotions around
the issue are so high. Over the weekend, reports of another
chemical attack in Syria, this one in the city of Douma.
Video has been released on ABC, CNN, Al-Jazeera and so
many other networks shows the horrific sight of small
children who have been gassed.
According to the Associated Press, “Suspected poison gas was
used to attack the last remaining foothold for the Syrian
opposition in the eastern suburbs of Damascus, killing at least 40
people, including families found in their homes and shelters.”
These reports come from rescue groups and anti government
forces in Syria.
Sunday, President Trump responded with a series of tweets:
“Many dead, including women and children, in mindless
CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and
encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to
outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible
for backing Animal Assad. Big price… to pay Open area
immediately for medical help and verification. Another
humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!”
President Trump went even further to threaten even more
action against Assad, tweeting:
“If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The
Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal
Assad would have been history!”
It was nearly a year to the day when reports of another Syrian
gas attack prompted the U.S. military to conduct airstrikes
against a Syrian air base.
But as I reported only a few weeks ago, the U.S. Secretary of
Defense now admits that there was actually no evidence in that
case, or in any case that the Syrian government was the one that
used sarin gas. And yet, that was the reason the U.S. gave for its
the most recent airstrike.
So with no evidence, the U.S. previously conducted an airstrike
against a Syrian air base. Now, President Trump is saying he will
go even further. And the usual war cheerleaders in Senators
John McCain and Lindsey Graham are pushing the president to
do so.
For his part, Sen. McCain released a statement that
attempted to blame President Trump for Sunday’s attack.
“President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United
States would prematurely withdraw from Syria. Bashar Assad
and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and
emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly
launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women
and children, this time in Douma.”
All of this as the media continues to discount the idea that
jihadists, including so called U.S. backed Syrian rebels have
used chemical weapons in the past. “Even though U.N.
Investigator Carla del Ponte, was unable to fulfill her U.N. joint
Investigative mandate in Syria and withdrew in protest over the
United States refusing to fully investigate allegations of chemical
weapon use by ‘rebels’ who are actually jihadis, allied with the
American effort to oust President Assad (including the use of
Sarin by anti-Assad rebels).”
According to the Times of London, “Carla del Ponte, head of the
independent UN commission investigating reports of chemical
weapons use in Syria, told a Swiss-Italian television station that
UN investigators gleaned testimony from victims of Syria’s civil
war and medical staff which indicated that rebel forces used sarin
gas, a deadly nerve agent.”

“Our investigators have been in neighboring countries
interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and according to
their report, of last week, which i have seen, there are strong,
concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use
of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated,’ Del Ponte
said in the interview, translated by Reuters. ‘This was use on the
part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government
authorities, she added.”
What you need to know goes back to what Sen. John
McCain said about Syria doing this because the U.S. might
withdraw, the opposite is likely true.
Consider this: a year ago, with no evidence, President Trump
ordered the largest strike so far against Syria over claims of
chemical weapon use.
So if now, the president signaled that he would withdraw from
Syria, why would the Syrian government, before that withdrawal
happens, use chemical weapons on its own people?
Strategically that makes no sense at all. Unless there’s a bigger
strategy at play here involving the U.S., Israel, Russia and Iran.
But believe this: what is being sold in the media as to what
is happening in Syria is not what it seems.
Would Israel and the U.S. attack Syria and Iran because of a
chemical attack that has not been proven to be from the Syrian
government? Remember, Israel recently admitted that it was
behind the 2007 bombing of Syria’s nuclear reactor. And, just two
weeks ago, the a joint military exercise between Israel and the
U.S. played out a scenario of an Iranian attack on Israel.
Meanwhile the media shows you pictures of harmed children and
avoids the bigger question, which is this: is the U.S. potentially
being pulled into an all-out war with Iran and Syria?
That’s Reality Check, let’s talk about it right now on social
media.

 Syria, Russia Prepare For Imminent US Strike By
Emptying Strategic Bases: Reports
Ryan Pickrell - China/Asia Pacific Reporter
12:36 PM 04/11/2018
Russian and Syrian forces are reportedly bracing for an
imminent American strike in response to a deadly
chemical weapons attack on civilians in the suburbs of
Damascus.
Pro-government forces are said to be evacuating from
major airports and military air bases, according to the
Times of Israel, citing reports from the Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights. Additionally, Syria is moving military
aircraft to Russian bases to ensure their survival, i24 News
revealed.
At the same time, satellite images of Russia’s Tartus naval
base in Syria show that Russia has withdrawn all eleven
warships from the base, Fox News reports, relying on
satellite photos from Israel-based ImageSat International.
WATCH:
Moscow reports that the Russian Navy is expected to hold
a major naval firing drill off the coast of Syria, which
could potentially explain the sudden departures from
Tartus.
481
Over the weekend, a suspected chlorine gas attack on
Douma in Eastern Ghoutta left at least 70 dead and
affected another five hundred people. The Trump
administration has blamed the attack on the Syrian regime
led by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who stands
accused of committing a number of human rights atrocities
during the Syrian Civil War.
President Donald Trump has threatened a forceful
response, leading many to conclude that the president
intends to conduct a strike similar to the one carried out
after a deadly sarin gas attack in Syria in April 2017.
Potentially speaking out of turn, a Russian diplomat
warned that Russia will shoot down U.S. rockets,
prompting a furious response on Twitter from the
president.
The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS
Donald Cook is said to be moving into position near
Syrian territory, and Syrian and Russian troops are
reportedly on high alert as a punitive U.S. response looms.
 STRIKE IMMINENT: Trump Threatens WW3 Over
Unverified Chemical Weapons Attacks In Regions
Controlled By Terrorists
Aaron Kesel
April 11, 2018
It’s the second chemical weapons attack to happen in Syria
since President Donald Trump took office; and once again
the attack seems to be convenient, as Russia and the U.S.
both announced a withdrawal of troops from Syria. Why
would Syrian President Bashar al-Assad gas his own
people as two foreign countries are readying to leave its
territory? None of this makes sense.
This isn’t the first time this happened where the timing
was questionable…
In 2017 Trump faced his first test of a chemical weapons
attack in Syria and his response was bombarding Syria
with missiles over unverified information while MSM
looked on in awe. Brian Williams praised the “beautiful
display” of Syria being destroyed by Tomahawk missiles.
The first attack under Trump – the chemical strike in Khan
Sheikhoun – happened months after Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad had handed evidence to the Hague and the
UN watchdog group OPCW that allegedly proves the
Syrian rebels used mustard gas against civilians. An
assertion that IHS Conflict Monitor had made in
November, just a few months before the evidence was
submitted.
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) expert,
Theodore Postol, claimed the Khan Sheikhoun attack
might have been staged by bad actors in the region, Yahoo
News reported.
Postol concluded that the U.S. government’s report does
not provide any “concrete” evidence that Assad was
482
responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was
perpetrated by players on the ground.
Postol said:
I have reviewed the White House’s
document carefully, and I believe it can be
shown, without doubt, that the document
does not provide any evidence whatsoever
that the US government has concrete
knowledge that the government of Syria
was the source of the chemical attack in
Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6 a.m. to
7.a.m on 4 April, 2017.
Postol further questioned the scene, stating:
No competent analyst would miss the fact
that the alleged sarin canister was
forcefully crushed from above, rather than
exploded by a munition within it.
All of these highly amateurish mistakes indicate that this
White House report, like the earlier Obama White House
Report from Ghouta in 2013, was not properly vetted by
the intelligence community as claimed.
I have worked with the intelligence community in the past,
and I have grave concerns about the politicisation of
intelligence that seems to be occurring with more
frequency in recent times – but I know that the intelligence
community has highly capable analysts in it.
And if those analysts were properly consulted about the
claims in the White House document they would have not
approved the document going forward.
Is it possible that the chemical weapons were used by
another group in the area to cause these attacks? Yes,
entirely possible, since the proxy region is infested with
various groups. In other words, the attack could be a state-
sponsored actor or a non-state actor, i.e., terrorists.
On November 2016, The New York Times reported that
IHS Conflict Monitor, a London-based intelligence
collection and analysis service found that ISIS had used
chemical weapons 52 times in Syria and Iraq. This report
appears to have been largely ignored and forgotten by the
Trump administration, as President Donald Trump
previously launched a missile bombardment on a Syrian
military base. He did so without having any prior
investigation performed to determine who was actually
responsible for the chemical attack.
Now Trump is threatening to invade Syria or take military
action again for the second time while facing the fog of
war. Not having enough on-ground information to work
off of, President Trump in fact risks world war three with
any further military movements in Syria.
Another report that corroborates IHS Conflict Monitor has
found that the Islamic State has used sulfur mustard — a
chemical warfare agent in the past — at least 19 times. The
group’s conclusions were based on local news reports,
social media and the Islamic State’s own propaganda.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Syrian
government had completed the removal of all chemical
weapons from the country in 2014. The WMD handover
was corroborated by the United Nations Organization for
the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and a
statement by Senator John Kerry. While the Syrian
government is on record surrendering their chemical
weapons, the “moderate rebel” groups have used them
increasingly.
Let’s first review reasons why the Syrian government
probably didn’t gas their own people.
First and foremost it wouldn’t benefit the Assad
government in any way shape or form. Trump’s
administration, before the first chemical attack under its
helm, said it would not pursue regime changes on Syria’s
Assad. A few days later, the attack happened and rolled
back that previous promise.
This time around, Assad allegedly bombed his own people
in Douma killing at least 70 and wounding scores of others
mere months after the U.S. and Russia had announced they
would withdraw their respective militaries from the region.
It is worth noting that the region in Syria that Western
sources are from is controlled by the Al Qaeda-
allied terrorist group Jaysh al-Islam. Further, the reports
we’re seeing cited by the press are coming from
the Western-backed and Al Qaeda-affiliated propaganda
firm the White Helmets and the “pro-opposition Ghouta
Media Center.”
During the last chemical weapons attack in April 2017, a
doctor on the ground in Khan Sheikhoun, Dr. Shajul Islam,
483
had received several shipments of gas masks in the days
leading up to the chemical incident. That same doctor is
also one of the main sources for MSM reporting on this
chemical attack, despite the fact that the man was sought
by the British government in connection with the
abduction of two journalists in Syria and is alleged to have
ties to the infamous now-dead Jihadi John.
Islam had his license stripped after being accused of
participating in a terrorist kidnapping ring targeting
Western journalists, PJMedia reported.
British journalist, John Cantlie, was set to testify as the
main witness against Islam during the pre-trial hearing.
However, Cantlie was then kidnapped a second time.
This wasn’t the first time that the U.S. media has used a
“medical professional’s” claims to advance war. It’s
important to remember during the Gulf War a nurse named
Nayirah testified that Iraqi soldiers removed babies from
incubators in Kuwait.
It turned out that Nayirah was in fact, Nijirah al-Sabah, the
daughter of Kuwait’s ambassador to the United States
Saud Nasir Al-Sabah at the time. She was coached by Hill
& Knowlton to forge her infamous testimony which was
widely reported and repeated throughout the media despite
being proven false, as 60 Minutes exposed in the 1990s.
Knowing this is important to understand, that in order to
go to war in a foreign country most Americans have never
even heard of requires an emotional response to push that
agenda onto the people.
The group in the Khan Sheikhoun area is also occupied by
the NGO White Helmets whose leader Raed Salah, was
denied entry into the U.S. at Washington’s Dulles
International Airport and deported, due to “extremist
connections” while on his way to receive a humanitarian
relief award at a gala dinner hosted by USAID.
As WikiLeaks noted, the White Helmets are mostly funded
by the U.S. government. Although theyalso get funding
from London as its primary PR front in pursuit of a “No
Fly Zone” in Syria.

John Kerry met with this same group – you can learn more
here.
This same group faked a crisis scene previously that
looked shockingly real for the infamous “mannequin
challenge.” The video was then pulled from their YouTube
channel after it raised immense levels of controversy. It
was labeled as distasteful, but not before others on the
Internet downloaded it and re-uploaded it.
This isn’t the first time that MSM has fallen for terrorist
propaganda. In 2016 it was widely reported that there was
a parked car bomb that killed 10 in a Baghdad
neighborhood. The story was said to have come from
police sources, but there was one small problem: after the
story went viral, a video was leaked online showing the
fake staged attack and actors faking injuries.
A video circulating on Twitter shows terrorists in Syria
training children to stage a reaction. The video appears to
show children faking death from a chemical weapon
attack. Towards the end of the video people can be seen
clapping.
So now that those facts are established, there is a backbone
to who these rebels consist of.
Is there any evidence where ISIS (otherwise known as the
“moderate rebels,” as documents obtained by Judicial
Watch state is the growing jihadi presence within the
Syrian rebel groups) could have potentially got chemical
weapons?
Yes, in fact, Foreign Policy reported that in 2012 ISIS had
captured a Syrian military base that was filled with
chemical weapons. That’s one year prior to the 2013
infamous chemical attack where UN envoy investigators
were shot at by snipers in Syria trying to investigate the
incident.
According to Foreign Policy, their source — an ISIS
fighter Abu Ahmad — stated that the terrorist group found
barrels filled with chlorine, sarin, and mustard gas. Al-
Nusra, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, then called for dozens of
trucks to transport the chemical weapons according to
Ahmad.
484
The Guardian also reported that ISIS had captured a
massive former Iraqi chemical weapons factory with more
than 2,000 degraded chemical rockets filled with sarin gas
in 2014.
Then, that same year, it was claimed that two abandoned
cylinders containing sarin were reportedly seized by Syrian
government troops in an area controlled by armed
opposition groups and handed over to the United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Organization for
the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
The letter stated that the cylinders were,
“reportedly seized by the armed forces of
the Syrian Arab Republic in August 2013 in
an area reportedly under the control of
armed opposition groups.”
Is there evidence that these weapons have been used
before? Indeed, they have been used by several jihadist
groups and not only ISIS.
Voice of America reported in 2016 that jihadist group,
Jaysh al-Islam, used chemical weapons in attacks against
Kurdish troops in Aleppo.
Syrian rebels have also been caught testing Tekkim
chemicals on rabbits and even threatened to use the
chemicals against civilians in Syria on a sectarian basis.
Shortly before the recent attack in late March, Activist Post
reported that the Syrian Army had claimed it had
uncovered a chemical weapons “workshop” in East Ghouta
after having liberated the territory.
What’s more, in that same report the government had
warned of the possibility of a false flag attack blamed on
the Syrian government.
After sweeping through the village of Aftris in Eastern
Ghouta following the withdrawal of terrorists from the
area, Syrian Army Colonel Feruz Ibrahim told reporters
that,
“Presumably, the equipment of these
munitions could be produced as part of a
false flag accusation that government
troops used chemical weapons.”
A secular Syrian commentator on Syria also expressed
there may be a coming false flag, stating his cause for
concern on Twitter and predicting the attack almost dead-
on.
In mid-March 2018, the Russian Centre for Syrian
Reconciliation also published a statement that Eastern
Ghouta insurgents, according to an anonymous phone call,
were preparing a possible provocation involving the use of
chemical agents.
Now, Eurocontrol, the European Union body responsible
for handling air traffic over Europe, has issued a Rapid
Alert Notification (RNA) to flight operators in the eastern
Mediterranean, warning them to be ready for NATO
rockets being launched into Syria. Presumably, the rockets
would be fired from France and Britain, which France has
previously warned it would strike if chemical weapons
were found to be used.
Due to the possible launch of air strikes into Syria with air-
to-ground and/or cruise missiles within the next 72 hours,
and the possibility of intermittent disruption of radio
navigation equipment, due consideration needs to be taken
when planning flight operations in the Eastern
Mediterranean / Nicosia FIR area.
Theresa May said that the UK was considering what action
was necessary in response to the “barbaric” attack, the
Independent reported.
When May was asked if the UK would join any US-led
military action in Syria, the prime minister said:
What we are currently doing is working urgently with our
allies to assess what has happened here.
We… are working urgently with our allies to assess what
has happened. But, we are also working with our allies on
any action that is necessary.
On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an
address that he was “very strongly, very
seriously” considering military action against the
government of Bashar Assad over the alleged chemical
attack in Douma, Syria on April 7th. Trump expressed that
a “major decision” would be taken within the following
24-48 hours.
485
While Trump’s State Department, run by CIA warhawk
Mike Pompeo, has issued a statement implicating Assad
despite the lack of on-ground investigation into the attack.
He highlighted that Russia’s “unwavering support” for
Syria’s government “ultimately bears responsibility” for
the alleged attacks.
The Assad regime and its backers must be held
accountable and any further attacks prevented
immediately. Russia, with its unwavering support for the
regime, ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal
attacks, targeting of countless civilians, and the suffocation
of Syria’s most vulnerable communities with chemical
weapons. By shielding its ally Syria, Russia has breached
its commitments to the United Nations as a framework
guarantor. It has betrayed the Chemical Weapons
Convention and UN Security Council Resolution 2118.
Russia’s protection of the Assad regime and failure to stop
the use of chemical weapons in Syria calls into question its
commitment to resolving the overall crisis and to larger
non-proliferation priorities.
This would be National Security Council advisor John
“Bomb Iran” Bolton’s first week in office, a man who is
known as a Bush-era lapdog warmonger.
An air strike was already carried out against a Syrian air
base on Monday, with no statement claiming responsibility
for the attack. Damascus, Moscow, and Tehran have all
stated that the attack was carried out by Israel from
Lebanese airspace, RT reported.
A Russian general responded, stating that Russia may
respond with military force to a U.S. strike on Syria.
“The double standard policy has
overstepped all possible boundaries. At this
point, the pro-Putin parliamentary majority
United Russia party must responsibly state
that we are going to take all political and
diplomatic measures, and also military
measures if such need arises,” Russian
General said on Tuesday. “Not a single
unlawful action will be left without
response.”

 Katie Couric Trashes ‘Insane’ Trump Era,
Then Pleads For ‘Civil Discourse’
By Kyle Drennen
April 11, 2018 4:00 PM EDT
While appearing on CBS’s Late Show With Stephen
Colbert on Tuesday to bemoan the “insane” and
“depressing” state of the country under President Trump,
journalist Katie Couric simultaneously went on all three
broadcast networks to promote her new National
Geographic documentary series and plead for “civil
discourse.”
Referring to the news cycle during the Trump presidency,
Couric made this profane declaration to Colbert:
“I mean, what’s really good for late-
night comedy and for cable news is
really, really (bleep) for the country.
Let’s be honest, right?”
As the late-night audience laughed, Couric continued:
“But you know, when my husband and I
watch your show at night, we’re like,
‘Can you can really believe what’s going
on in this country?’ It is insane, isn’t
it?”
The liberal comedian chimed in:
“Yeah, the President’s – the President’s
personal lawyer has been raided by the FBI
because evidently there was a reasonable
suspicion that he and the President were
conspiring in a criminal act.”
Couric then mentioned the President’s alleged affair with
porn star Stormy Daniels:
493
“Yes. Not only that, then you have
Stormy [Daniels] watch. Of course,
that’s associated with the raid. You have
– I mean, it’s just unbelievable. And so
do – I mean, are you finding that it’s still
amusing, or just so depressing?”
Colbert replied:
“It’s still amusing. It’s still amusing.”
That prompted more laughs from the audience.
As she trashed Trump in that exchange, aired early
Wednesday morning, Couric was actually in the middle of
a media blitz to promote a new documentary series she
was hosting on the National Geographic Channel, America
Inside Out With Katie Couric. While appearing on NBC’s
Today show on Wednesday, Couric explained the series in
a taped promo that was featured at the top of the segment:
There’s a lot of anxiety in the country,
and as a result, we’re not hearing each
other, we’re not talking to each other.
We stick with like-minded people and
have lost our ability to appreciate that
someone’s life experience may be very
different than yours.
What I tried to do with this series is not
judge people but to encourage an open,
honest dialogue. Actually listen to each
other,
be critical thinkers, and be open-minded. These are really
complicated topics to unpack: white anxiety, gender
inequality, tech addiction. I don’t think this series is gonna
change the world, but I’m hoping it will help see a
different perspective.
Talking to co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb
minutes later, Couric implored:
“And I’m trying to help people
rediscover their empathy muscle,
because we’re so polarized and there’s
so much anger and hate towards each
side, against each side, that I think we’ve
 forgotten that and we need to step into
each other’s shoes and understand each
other’s perspectives.”
Her friendly chat with “like-minded” liberal Colbert hardly
seemed to be evidence of her trying to “see a different
perspective.”
Joining the cast of ABC’s The View later Wednesday
morning, Couric lamented:
First of all, we’re so polarized, there’s so
much hate and vitriol and anger. And I
know that this is something that you all talk
about. Because it doesn’t leave room for
a reasonable conversation. Civil
discourse, I think, has become an
oxymoron in this country.
She later complained:
“And I think we’re – you know, we’re so
bifurcated and polarized and we’re all
living in our own silos and echo
chambers, getting affirmation instead of
information.”
Speaking of an “echo chamber” that “doesn’t leave room
for a reasonable conversation,” Couric seemed to forget
that she was on The View, a show known for its nasty,
unhinged political rhetoric.
Co-host Whoopi Golberg feared:
.
494
But I worry, I worry because, you know,
people make shifts and they have great
conversations and then everybody goes
back home. And then maybe you watch a
specific network that then takes everything
you’ve just had conversations about, and
you sort of feel like, “Oh, I think I
understand a little more.” You forget that
you’ve made this shift, and now you’re
back into the thing.
Couric agreed:
“Well, I think the media profits from
outrage, too. You know, they profit from
outrage and anger and having your own
views reflected back at you.”
Again, she seemed to forget what show she was on.
The irony of Couric talking to people like Colbert or The
View hosts, know for their vicious personal attacks, and
then wringing her hands over how polarized the nation has
become is stunning. Especially when she even offered up
some vitriol of her own.
It’s also important to remember how Couric’s last attempt
at journalism went. In 2016, she embarked on a similar
media tour to promote an anti-gun documentary, which
was later exposed for its deceptive editing of gun rights
supporters.
 THE GLOVES ARE OFF=> POTUS Trump Hits
Rosenstein AGAIN For Signing FISA Application To
Authorize Wiretap
By Cristina Laila
April 11, 2018, 4:36 Pm
The gloves are off.
President Trump continues to deliver
punishing rounds to Rosenstein and
Mueller over their corrupt and fake
Russian collusion witch hunt.
The President turned up the heat this
week after the FBI KGB raided his
personal attorney’s office looking for
dirt on porn star Stormy Daniels.
“Our relationship with Russia is worse
now than it has ever been,” Trump
tweeted.

POTUS Trump unleashed a ferocious tweetstorm

Wednesday morning. Lastly, Trump blamed the “bad blood with Russia” on the
fake and corrupt Russia investigation.
First the President hammered fake news.
President Trump brought up Mueller being conflicted and
Rosenstein’s involvement in the FISA abuse!

Much of the bad blood with Russia is

caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia
Investigation, headed up by the all
Democrat loyalists, or people that
worked for Obama. Mueller is most
conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who
signed FISA & Comey letter). No
Collusion, so they go crazy!
Then he brought up the never ending
corrupt Russia investigation and the
Mueller/Rosenstein FBI raid of his
lawyer’s office.

495
 Shortly after the FBI raided Michael Cohen’s office,
Trump found out Rosenstein signed off on the raid and
unleashed on him.

“He signed a FISA warrant,” Trump said of

Rosenstein to associates at the White
House after the raid.

Trump has really turned up the heat on Mueller and

Rosenstein lately; it appears the White House is ready to
make a bold move.
This is the second time this week President Trump has
brought up Rosenstein’s involvement in the FISA abuse
scandal.

Rosenstein Relents, Lets Nunes See FBI Document That
Launched Trump-Russia Probe
By Kristina Wong

Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein, facing a contempt of

relented Wednesday and allowed House
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin
Nunes (R-CA) to view the document the
FBI used to launch the Trump-Russia
investigation.

and FBI.
“Although the subpoenas issued by this
Committee in August 2017 remain in effect,
I’d like to thank Deputy Attorney General
Rosenstein for his cooperation today,” he
said.
As to what was in the document, a House Intelligence
Committee told Breitbart News:
“There are things there we want to
investigate further.”
Nunes had first subpoenaed that and other documents from
the DOJ and FBI in August. But while the Justice
Department had allowed access to other documents, they
had stonewalled on allowing access to the document that
started the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, even after
repeated meetings, phone calls, and emails.
Meanwhile, “current and former” law enforcement
officials had leaked to the New York Times on December
30 that the investigation was started after an Australian
diplomat had a conversation with former Trump campaign
adviser George Papadopoulos and reported it to U.S.
intelligence.
The story sought to minimize the role the Trump dossier
— which was funded by the Clinton campaign and the
Democratic National Committee — in starting the
investigation.

 Of Course He Did: Jim Acosta Floats Possibility Of
Impeachment In White House Briefing
By Curtis Houck
April 11, 2018 6:52 PM EDT

Feeding into the left’s dream of impeaching President
Trump, CNN’s infamously incomparable White House
correspondent Jim Acosta raised during Wednesday’s
White House briefing the prospect of the President being
impeached by the House if Democrats take control starting
in January 2019.
Acosta led into that by invoking Speaker Paul Ryan’s
announcement that he won’t seek reelection and that
“[t]here are some fears up on Capitol
Hill and we understand some in the
White House that a Democratic wave is
coming and could sweep the
Republicans out of power in the House.”
send you talking points if you need
some guidance on that front.”
Acosta shot back by asking again about whether she thinks
“a wave is coming” and Sanders
reiterated that “we certainly think we
have a great story to tell and we think
America....certainly has, I think, felt the
impact certainly from a economic
standpoint.”
Prior to the impeachment question, Acosta questioned
Sanders (like many of his colleagues did) about the
President’s tweet telling Russia to “get ready” ahead of
what’s expected to be military action by the U.S. and
possibly its allies against the Russia-backed Bashar al-
Assad regime in Syria.

“[A]nd that could potentially lead to

added.

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded by

stating that

“we are very confident in the record we

have and the very successful first year
and a half that the President’s had in
office and we expect to take about that a

She then quipped:
JIM ACOSTA: It sounds like the president hasn’t really left a lot of
wiggle room. You said that all options are on the table, but when
the President says “get ready, Russia,” they will with coming, the
missiles are coming, how is that anything but an announcement
of a pending air strike?

coming and could sweep the Republicans out of power in the
House and that could potentially lead to impeachment

FBI IGNORES WARNINGS On Boston Bombers – Nikolas
Cruz – Omar Mateen… But Executes Pre-Dawn Raid
For Trump ‘P*Ssy’ Tape
By Cristina Laila
April 11, 2018, 8:38 Pm
From Left: Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, Boston bomber
Tsarnaev, Pulse terrorist Omar Mateen
The FBI sure has their priorities straight.
It seems like every time there is a terrorist attack or a mass
shooting we hear later the suspects were being monitored
by the FBI prior to the attack.
The FBI always has a plethora of excuses as to why they
failed to thwart yet another mass shooting or terrorist
attack.
Oddly enough, the FBI found it necessary to raid Trump’s
personal lawyer’s home at 6 AM for dirt on Stormy
Daniels and Trump’s ‘grab her by the p*ssy’ “Hollywood
Access” tape.
The FBI failed to stop Parkland school
mass shooter Nikolas Cruz:
Nikolas Cruz, the mass shooter at a Florida
high school, was reported to the FBI in
September after he left a comment on a
bail bondsman’s YouTube channel saying
that he was going to be a “professional
school shooter.”
Killer “Nikolas Cruz” used his real name on
YouTube.
Killer Nikolas Cruz ALSO used his real
name on Instagram where his account is
loaded with several photos of Cruz in a
mask with a gun.
503
The FBI finally admitted they dropped the ball on Nikolas
Cruz.
Thanks to the FBI ignoring the warning signs, 17 innocent
children and teachers were murdered.
The FBI failed to stop Omar Mateen
despite many red flags and his father
being an FBI informant!
The FBI interviewed Orlando Pulse nightclub shooter
Omar Mateen twice prior to his mass shooting.
Omar Mateen had been in contact with a suicide bomber in
Florida named Moner Mohammad Abusalha, who went on
to join Al Qaeda and then blew himself up in Syria in
2014.
Mateen also made comments to co-workers about his
terrorist ties.
After two interviews the FBI concluded Omar Mateen was
not a threat.
Omar Mateen’s wife Noor Salman leaked
in court documents that her father-in-
law Seddique Mateen worked for the FBI
as an informant for 11 years and was
himself under investigation.
Because the FBI failed to take actions,
on June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, a 29-
year-old security guard, killed 49 people
and wounded 58 others in a terrorist
attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando,
Florida,
The FBI ignored warnings about the

 Alan Dershowitz: Why The FBI
Raid On Trump's Lawyer Hurts All Of Us
By Alan Dershowitz | Fox News
April 11, 2018
FBI Raids Trump Lawyer's Office, Hotel And Home. Trump Calls
Raids 'An Attack On Our Country.' Fox News' Kelly Wright Reports On
The Latest.
Many TV pundits are telling viewers not to worry about
the government’s intrusion into possible lawyer-client
privileged communications between President Trump and
his lawyer, Michael Cohen.
The pundits say that since prosecutors won’t get to see or
use any privileged material taken when FBI agents raided
and searched Cohen’s law office, home and hotel room
Monday the intrusion will not be a problem. This is
because prosecutors and FBI agents create firewalls and
taint teams to preclude privileged information from being
used against the client in a criminal case.
But this analysis completely misses the point and ignores
the distinction between the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution on the one hand, and the Fourth and Sixth
Amendments on the other.
The Fifth Amendment is an exclusionary rule. By its
terms, it prevents material obtained in violation of the
privilege of self-incrimination from being used to
incriminate a defendant – that is, to convict him or her of a
crime.
But the Fourth and Sixth Amendments provide far broader
protections: they prohibit government officials from in any
way intruding on the privacy of lawyer-client confidential
rights of citizens.
In other words, if the government improperly seizes
private or privileged material, the violation has already
occurred, even if the government never uses the material
from the person from whom it was seized.
505
Not surprisingly, therefore, firewalls and taint teams were
developed in the context of the Fifth Amendment, not the
Fourth or Sixth Amendments. Remember who comprises
the firewall and taint teams: other FBI agents, prosecutors
and government officials, who have no right under the
Fourth and Sixth Amendments even to see private or
confidential materials, regardless of whether it is ever used
against a defendant.
The very fact that this material is seen or read by a
government official constitutes a core violation. It would
be the same if the government surreptitiously recorded a
confession of a penitent to a priest, or a description of
symptoms by a patient to a doctor, or a discussion between
a husband and wife of their sex life.
The government simply has no right to this material,
whether it ever uses it against the penitent, the patient, or
the spouse in a criminal case.
So let’s not dismiss the potential violation of the rights of
Michael Cohen and President Trump, if it turns out that
included among the materials seized by the government in
the raid were private or confidential information or
documents.
The recourses for intrusions on the Fourth and Sixth
Amendments are multifold: the victim of an intrusion can
sue for damages; he or she can exclude the material from
use by the government in criminal or civil cases; or the
victim can demand the material back. But none of these
remedies undo the harm to privacy and confidentiality
done to the citizen by the government’s intrusion into his
private and confidential affairs.
An equally important harm is to important relationships
that are protected by the law: between lawyer and client,
priest and penitent, doctor and patient, husband and wife,
etc.
If the ordinary citizen sees that even the president’s
confidential communications with his lawyer can be seized
and perused, he or she will be far less willing to engage in
such communications. As a society we value such
communications; that is why our laws protect them and
that is why it should be extremely difficult for the
government to intrude upon them, except as a last recourse
in extremely important cases.
From what we know, this case does not meet those
stringent standards. Much of the material sought from
Cohen by the warrant could probably be obtained through
other sources, such as bank, tax and other records that are
subject to subpoena.
Moreover, the alleged crimes at issue – highly technical
violations of banking and election laws – would not seem
.
506
to warrant the extreme measure of a highly publicized
search and seizure of records that may well include some
that are subject to the lawyer-client privilege.
Someday soon, government is going to have to justify its
decision to conduct this raid. I challenge any reader who is
not concerned about the raid to honestly answer the
following question: If the raid had been conducted on
Hillary Clinton’s lawyer’s office and home, would you be
as unconcerned? The truth now!

It Doesn’t Make Sense That Assad Would Use Gas
By Cassandra Fairbanks
April 11, 2018, 8:50 Pm

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), one of President Donald

Trump’s biggest supporters in Congress, took to Twitter on
Wednesday to drop some logic regarding the situation in
Syria.

The congressman also retweeted a thread by Rep. Justin

Amash and called it a
As the establishment begins to bang the drums of war,
Massie is having no part of it. “tactical strike on the neocon #fakenews
that’s been rampant today on twitter.”
“Interview from one year ago – still applies.
It doesn’t make sense that Assad would
use gas, immediately after
@realDonaldTrump announced we would
pull troops out of Syria. Assad knows a
gas attack would provoke US military
involvement against his government,”
Massie tweeted with a video of an interview
he did with CNN last year.

Massie also retweeted Tucker Carlson’s monologue

questioning the narrative being used to sway public
opinion to support a war.
Massie also asserted that Trump does not have the
constitutional authority to attack a sovereign country
without approval of Congress if our country is not in
imminent danger.

507

“All the geniuses tell us that Assad killed
those children. But do they really know
that? Of course, they don’t really know that,
they’re making it up. They have no real
idea what happened. Actually, both sides in
the Syrian Civil War possess chemical
weapons. How would it benefit Assad, from
using chlorine gas last weekend?” Carlson

asked during his phenomenal takedown of
the absurdity surrounding the official
narrative.
The host argued that there are currently horrific things
taking place all over the globe, yet when carried out by our
allies we turn a blind eye.
“There is a devastating famine killing
children in Yemen right now Saudis are
causing that. Should we drop
tomahawks on Riyadh in response? Not
until it’s on YouTube apparently. When
you conduct foreign policy by viral
video, pictures are essential,” Carlson
said mockingly.
Carlson and Massie’s sentiments are shared by most of
Trump’s biggest supporters on social media.
“Before Trump was President, he posted
tweets echoing similar sentiments as
Massie and Amash. Trump called for a
lawful declaration of war by Congress and
largely warned against action in Syria,” the
Liberty Conservative noted.

end up being the key witness.”
“If I were a lawyer for Donald Trump, and I
am not, I am just saying what I would say
about anybody, I would be making a motion
in front of a judge,” he explained. “First I’d
make it in the Justice Department, to
recuse Rosenstein. Then I’d make it in front

you cannot be a witness in the same case.”
