Sessions Being Forced to Release Original Mueller Attack Plans
by rickwells.us
{ rickwells.us } ~ Lou Dobbs reveals that the DOJ has told Judicial Watch that it may soon provide information they’ve been in pursuit... of and that others have now joined them in attempting to secure regarding the marching orders of Grand Inquisitor Mueller in the COUP. The August 2nd 2017 Scope Memo, written by Rod Rosenstein three months after he had unleashed his attack dog on President Trump and his associates, without restraint, is expected to outline the parameters he was given for his attempt to remove Trump from office. Judicial Watch’s Chris Farrell says they’ve got to continue to press to have this document released because it “will unlock a lot of this Mueller special counsel operation. The public is owed an answer as to what his mission statement was.” Farrell recounts, “When we first asked for it, the Justice Department denied that it existed and we had to sue in October and they begrudgingly admitted that there was a scope or a mission statement.”... https://rickwells.us/sessions-original-mueller-attack/.Netanyahu meets Putin in Moscow, attends Victory Day ceremony

Even the Empty Suit - liar-nObama/Jarrett
Pitch to Preserve Legacy of Iran Deal
by rickwells.us
{ rickwells.us } ~ Hussein liar-nObama and Valerie Jarrett gambled and lost – sort of... Iran still gets to keep their jackpot winnings, the $150 Billion, some of it in cash, that their Jihadi partners in a hijacked United States government worked out for them in 2015. But liar-nObama, Jarrett and hanoi-Kerry are now paying the price for circumventing the Constitution and the US Senate in signing an international treaty they claimed was something else in order to use semantics as a ticket to totalitarian conduct on their part and enrich and empower the totalitarians in Tehran. What one president, particularly an illegitimate foreign one who lied his way into power can do, his successor, particularly an American patriot serving the people rather than the establishment, can undo... https://rickwells.us/obama-jarrett-iran-deal/ .
Fox, Sinclair vie for executive with ties to Hannity
by JASON SCHWARTZ
{ politico.com } ~ As Sinclair Broadcast Group ramps up its plans to build a competitor to Fox News... the two companies are both interested in the services of a programming executive with a very notable distinction: close friend to Sean Hannity. Sinclair executive chairman David Smith has had multiple conversations with Sean Compton, president of strategic programming and acquisitions for Tribune Media, including one at SW Steakhouse in Las Vegas in April, during a conference for the National Association of Broadcasters, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Over their meal, Smith and Compton discussed show development for a three-hour block of news-opinion programming, according to the person. Sinclair’s proposed $3.9 billion deal for Tribune, Compton’s current company, is currently awaiting approval before the Federal Communications Commission. Many Tribune Media executives will be released from their contracts if the merger does go through, and Compton has also held talks with high-up Fox News executives, including Rupert Murdoch, chairman of the network’s parent company, according to the person. Another person inside Fox confirmed that Compton has been under consideration at the network for a high-level position—though it is not clear exactly what—and had meetings with top company officials... https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/08/fox-sinclair-hannity-pirro-conservatives-576212 .
hanoi-John Kerry Has Become An Enemy of the State
{ restoreamericanglory.com } ~ According to a new Boston Globe article, former Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry is busily engaging world leaders... including the foreign minister of Iran – in a campaign of shadow diplomacy aimed at keeping the nuclear agreement intact. Well, the real goal is the preservation of his and, by extension, liar-nObama’s political legacy, but that’s beside the point. The point is that in an era where political experts on the left were crying out for Michael Flynn to be charged under the Logan Act for engaging in this exact kind of whisper diplomacy, hanoi-Kerry is being treated as the hero of the republic. Are we saying that hanoi-Kerry should be charged under that outdated law? Not necessarily. But it’s there for a reason. And the reason is that we don’t need America’s allies and enemies getting confused about who is representing the United States and who isn’t. hanoi-John Kerry is no longer secretary of state. hanoi-John Kerry is not a part of the Trump administration. hanoi-John Kerry no longer has a professional interest in keeping the Iran deal alive. He needs to sit down and shut up. Because the more he tries to undermine the official actions of the United States government, the more he risks becoming more than just an annoying relic of the liar-nObama years. He risks becoming an outright enemy of the state. This is not to be confused with, say, politicians like Bill De Blasio heading overseas to pretend that he’s an emissary on climate change. Yes, that’s bad enough, but everyone recognizes it for the farce that it is. And even if it wasn’t, as the mayor of New York he does at least have SOME limited authority to engage in climate change diplomacy. We’re not sure if it actually accomplishes anything or was even meant to, but it’s fine with us if he wants to gallivant around the world and make believe that he matters. It’s a little sad, but that’s nothing new for him....

Voices in Support of Trump's
CIA Director Nominee
by Elise Cooper
{ americanthinker.com } ~ Those against Gina Haspel being confirmed utter the word "torturer" yet refuse to say "Islamist jihadist." They have a problem with her involvement in the enhanced interrogation program, but are willing to overlook the fact that she has been acting director ever since Mike Pompeo has been confirmed as secretary of state. If she is so horrible, how could they let her be in that position even for a day? The answer, according to 9-11 families, is that she was the shield that kept Americans safe during the turbulent times right after September 11.
David Beamer lost his son, Todd, after United Flight 93 crashed into the Pennsylvania countryside. He expressed the sentiment of all the other 9-11 families interviewed, supporting Gina Haspel as CIA director. "She has given the prime years of her life in service to protect us. Her performance, intellect, dedication, and skills have been recognized in many assignments."
His answer to those who criticize the enhanced interrogation program: "Unlike my son, none of the enemy died during interrogation. The plans that they executed caused the death of many free and innocent people, just as they intended, as much collateral damage as possible that was their objective. If some uncomfortable questioning leads to uncovering further attacks and lives saved, so be it."
Gordon Haberman concurs: "Our beautiful, vibrant, loving Andrea was subjected to torture. She was alive after the building was hit and then brutalized in a desperate attempt to escape the inferno. She was then ripped apart as she died. It haunts me till this day. I only hope she was dead before being dismembered in this manner. In seventeen years, they have recovered and identified eleven pieces of her. Do I worry about how those who perpetrated this act were treated after being caught alive and are still alive? No."
All those interviewed cannot understand why senators are so concerned about Gina Haspel's role in the rendition, detention, and interrogation programs (RDI). The families insist that those like Haspel helped to keep other Americans from horrifically suffering what they had to endure.
Tim Sumner, a retired U.S. Army soldier, lost his brother-in-law, Lt. Joseph Leavery, a heroic New York firefighter. His feeling: "Gina Haspel has served our nation with honor for thirty years. The EIT Program saved American lives. She deserves our thanks rather than being smeared by those with short memories. Al-Qaeda ruthlessly slaughtered 3,000 men, women, and children on 9/11. The implementation of the Enhanced Interrogation Program was not Gina Haspel's decision; it was the president's decision after Haspel's seniors at the CIA recommended its approval. It had been cleared by the Office of Legal Counsel and briefed to majority and minority leaders of Congress, to include the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Nancy Pulosi."
Debra Burlingame, the sister of the pilot whose plane was flown into the Pentagon, thinks Gina Haspel is being unfairly blamed by some senators – especially since the RDI program was widely accepted by those on the intelligence committees. Interestingly the criticism started when it was politically convenient. "Senator Jay Rockefeller, the Democratic chair of the Intelligence Committee, was read into the program and never objected. Many do not know that he supposedly – emphasis on the supposedly – wrote a letter showing he had misgivings about the program. How convenient that he dragged it out years later after it was acceptable to criticize the CIA. What a weasel thing to do. The senators then and now understand that the CIA had to get the intelligence quickly, especially after it was confirmed that a second wave of attacks was planned. The RDI program, of which Gina Haspel was a part, worked."
To prove her point, she emphasized that Americans should reference the 2009 federal trial of Ahmed Ghailani, a senior al-Qaeda figure who after capture was brought into the RDI program. At the beginning of the trial the Justice Department of A.G. scum-Eric Holder and President liar-nObama had to write a brief. In it was a defense of the RDI program. The language used included that the program saved lives and that actionable intelligence was obtained. This proves that Gina Haspel was on the right side – the side to save American lives.
She noted, "I am not speaking out for my brother. He is gone, and I will never get him back. I am doing it for my fellow American's brothers. This is about the future, protecting our country from people who are cunning, intelligent, patient, and relentless. I don't see how these current senators can look at their children and grandchildren and vote against her."
Alice Hoagland, who lost a son, Mark, on United Flight 93, wonders why some Americans seem "to favor terrorists over the victims of terror. Since I live in one of the most politically liberal areas of the United States, I have met quite a number of such Americans over these past sixteen years, some whom I once considered friends. Like most who lost loved ones on 9/11, I have endured castigation in print, on the air, and in face-to-face encounters from those who flatter themselves that they occupy the moral high ground. Rejection is the price we pay for holding views that conflict with those of the entrenched liberal majority."
If Gina Haspel, one of the most qualified and capable people ever nominated for CIA director, is not confirmed, it is because some senators are more concerned with their political aspirations than keeping Americans safe. Beamer expressed the sentiment of many: "it is likely that the hearings to consider Gina Haspel for this most strategic position will be marked by partisan attacks, dirt-digging, and grandstanding. Sad that while most can spell civility, few can practice it. Most of the critics have never been willing to be in harm's way, to serve and protect our way of life. Most would not agree to put 'their sacrifice where their mouth is.'"
Burlingame summarized it best when she told American Thinker, "Bipartisan leaders of the intelligence community as well as those currently working at the CIA describe her as being widely respected. All Americans should consider Haspel a hero whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude. If she is not confirmed, then no one should be confirmed."
