The Russian collusion hoax

meets unbelievable end

by Rep. Devin Nunes

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ As the Russia collusion hoax hurtles toward its demise, it’s important to consider how this destructive information operation rampaged through vital American institutions for more than two years... and what can be done to stop such a damaging episode from recurring. While the hoax was fueled by a wide array of false accusations, misleading leaks of ostensibly classified information, and bad-faith investigative actions by government officials, one vital element was indispensable to the overall operation: the Steele dossier. Funded by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee, which hid their payments from disclosure by funneling them through the law firm Perkins Coie, the dossier was a collection of false and often absurd accusations of collusion between Trump associates and Russian officials. These allegations, which relied heavily on Russian sources cultivated by Christopher Steele, were spoon-fed to Trump opponents in the U.S. government, including officials in law enforcement and intelligence. he efforts to feed the dossier’s allegations into top levels of the U.S. government, particularly intelligence agencies, were championed by Steele, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, and various intermediaries. These allegations were given directly to the FBI and Justice Department, while similar allegations were fed into the State Department by long-time scumbag/liar-Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal. Their efforts were remarkably effective. Officials within the FBI and DOJ, whether knowingly or unintentionally, provided essential support to the hoax conspirators, bypassing normal procedures and steering the information away from those who would view it critically. The dossier soon metastasized within the government, was cloaked in secrecy, and evaded serious scrutiny. High-ranking officials such as then-FBI general counsel James Baker and then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr were among those whose actions advanced the hoax. Ohr, one of the most senior officials within the DOJ, took the unprecedented step of providing to Steele a back door into the FBI investigation. This enabled the former British spy to continue to feed information to investigators, even though he had been terminated by the FBI for leaking to the press and was no longer a valid source. Even worse, Ohr directly briefed Andrew Weissmann and Zainab Ahmad, two DOJ officials who were later assigned to special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation. In short, the investigation was marked by glaring irregularities that would normally be deemed intolerable...

scumbag-Schiff Document Raises New

Question About FBI’s FISA Court Evidence

by J.E. Dyer

{ lidblog.com } ~ A seemingly minor, arcane detail about the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” operation and the FISA application submitted on Carter Page in October 2016 has been out there for some time... The story about how Crossfire Hurricane got started on 31 July 2016 was first told by the New York Times in December 2017. The story was that a report from Australian official Alexander Downer got the ball rolling. Downer had met with George Papadopoulos in London, on 10 May 2016, at which time Papadopoulos was said to have made a drunken disclosure about an intermediary for Russia Maltese Professor Joseph Mifsud telling him of “dirt” the Russians had on scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, in the form of “thousands of emails.” The meeting with Mifsud occurred on 26 April 2016. The FBI was alarmed at this information, which was received from Downer more than two months later, in late July 2016 after the release of the trove of scumbag/liar-Hillary’s emails by WikiLeaks.That summer, the FBI had also reportedly been following the activities of Carter Page who had been a confidential informant for some time, for a Bureau operation that began in 2013. The FBI was concerned about a Page trip to Moscow in early July, during which Page met with Russian officials. The coincidence of these data points – Page’s journey and the disclosure about Papadopoulos – prompted the FBI to launch Crossfire Hurricane. Here is the arcane little detail. The New York Times story from December 2017 says Papadopoulos told Downer about the “dirt” on scumbag/liar-Hillary and the “thousands of emails.” Remember that going forward... https://lidblog.com/george-papadopoulos/

Leftism Threatens American Family Life

by E. Jeffrey Ludwig

{ americanthinker.com } ~ From many on the left we hear the words "collective" "intersectionality," or “hegemony” as central vocabulary in socio-political-economic discourse. Words like “liberty,” “individuality,” “freedom,” “free markets,” “responsibility,” and “personal autonomy” are rarely used... Words like “faith, family, and freedom” which is the motto of the Family Research Council are depicted as not only passé but as dangerously “right-wing.” Persons like myself who appeal to that motto and wish to defend traditional marriage, the unborn, natural rights, liberty, freedom of religion especially of Judeo-Christian values and the family of man are depicted by the left as “right-wing” or “deplorable.” Although this writer is a rational centrist, I bear the title deplorable proudly. A recently retired former high school classmate of mine and so-called liberal who ended his career as Director of Pediatrics at a major New York City hospital wrote to a nationally known communist on our high school website that his son had married a young woman whose father was an evangelical Protestant. When he greeted his son’s father-in-law, he gave him a copy of Noel Ignatiev’s book Race Traitor and a copy of Karl Marx’s and Friedrich Engels’ Communist Manifesto. A great way to build bridges with your daughter’s new family, right? How would you have reacted to this gift? I would not have accepted the books. It might have seemed that after Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist Party candidate for president, lost four times at the beginning of the 20th century, that socialism was finally buried as non-viable in the U.S. context. But socialism became retooled, American-style, and emerged in a more acceptable form as the graduated income tax, the Federal Reserve, and the “alphabet agencies” of the New Deal. Now, this drivel from the past has re-emerged with commie-Bernie Sanders and some stupid lady who just won a congressional seat in New York City and openly proclaims socialism. But the shallow pundits who critique them and interview them keep asking only about how they are going to pay for their vast Green New Deal, socialist program. “Where will the money come from?” they ask, and of course, since the money will come out of the pockets of all the people, the left becomes evasive. The interviewers and critics fail to address other more serious consequences of their outdated and self-serving vision...

Now Feds Should Investigate The Russian Connections John Podesta Failed To Report

by Jeff Dunetz

{ lidblog.com } ~ The liberals were right to be worried about all of those “Russia connections.” They just focused on the wrong campaign... Instead of focusing on President Trump and his campaign team the liberal conspiracy theorists should have been vetting their own side for Russia ties, specifically scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign CEO John Podesta. Now that the dirty cop-Mueller report has been delivered and the feds have some free time, they should investigate the Russian connections that John Podesta failed to report. Now, even more, has been revealed about the shady behavior of John Podesta, his Kremlin-connections and his cover-up. As we reported in March 2017 scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s right-hand man and campaign chairman John Podesta, was on the board of 3 different companies that are closely related to a parent company by the name of Rusnano. Rusnano is a Russian state-run company that was founded by none other than Vladimir Putin and over the years has doled out tens of millions of dollars to the Podesta linked firms. The three companies that Podesta helped lead were Boston-based Joule Unlimited; Rotterdam-based Joule Global Holdings; Joule Global Stichting, the company’s controlling interest. All three companies are high-tech renewable energy enterprises. The information that came from the Daily Caller included: Three months after Podesta’s arrival, Joule Unlimited accepted a 1 billion ruble investment from Rusnano, amounting to $35 million in U.S. currency. The firm also awarded a Joule board seat in February 2012 to Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano’s CEO, who has been depicted as a corrupt figure... https://lidblog.com/investigate-john-podesta/

Michael Cohen begs House Democrats

to keep him out of jail

by Byron York

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ In 30 days President Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen is scheduled to report to prison to serve a three-year sentence for, among other things... defrauding banks and evading taxes on $4,134,051 in income between 2012 and 2016. In a new letter to Congress asking lawmakers to help keep him out of jail, Cohen's media-friendly lawyer, Lanny Davis, said his client "is going to prison for conduct almost all of which was for the benefit of Mr. Trump personally and indeed directed by him." Davis did not explain how Cohen's bank fraud and failure to tell the Internal Revenue Service about $4,134,051 in income from his lucrative taxi medallion business was done for the benefit of Donald Trump personally, nor did Davis explain how Trump directed Cohen to commit those crimes. The crime which prosecutors say Trump did direct Cohen to commit, a campaign finance violation stemming from the Stormy Daniels payoff, is often punished by a fine. Beyond that, even if one accepts Cohen's shaky claim that Trump directed him to commit yet another crime, lying to Congress, others convicted of lying in the Trump-Russia investigation have been given very light sentences. Former short-term Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days. And yet Cohen somehow got three years, which despite Davis' argument might be related to his convictions for defrauding banks and hiding $4,134,051 from the IRS. In any event, Cohen has now come up with a new scheme to avoid going to jail. In a letter to some House Democrats, Davis said that Cohen, who swore to tell the "whole truth" during congressional testimony on Feb. 26, 27, 28 and March 6, has now discovered more truth to tell. And Cohen will be happy to tell it to Congress if lawmakers can convince federal prosecutors in New York to "substantially postpone" his date to report to prison... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-michael-cohen-begs-house-democrats-to-keep-him-out-of-jail?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/05/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

Should the SPLC Be Tax-Exempt?

Nate Jackson: The Southern Poverty Law Center has had a bad couple of weeks, with the ousting of cofounder Morris Dees and resignation of President and cofounder Richard Cohen. Now Sen. Tom Cotton has asked the IRS to review the group’s tax-exempt status.

The IRS, says Cotton in a letter, should investigate to determine whether the SPLC “should retain its classification as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization” given the “long-established fact that the SPLC regularly engages in defamation of its political opponents.”

He continues, “The business model has paid well. The SPLC has accrued more than $500 million in assets. According to the group’s most recent financial statement, it holds $121 million offshore in non-U.S. equity funds. The SPLC uses these assets to pay its executives lavish salaries far higher than the comparable household average.” Dees was ~~earning~~ being paid $400,000 a year before his firing.

Moreover, Cotton says, “Based on [news] reports [of a pervasive racism culture], and in the interest of protecting taxpayer dollars from a racist and sexist slush fund devoted to defamation, I believe that the SPLC’s conduct warrants a serious and thorough investigation.”

Indeed, it’s no wonder Charity Watch gives SPLC an “F” rating.

Later explaining his letter, Cotton added, “Serial, repeated defamation against your political opponents is not a tax-exempt purpose. … Southern Poverty Law Center has become nothing but a racket that’s designed solely to slander and defame its political opponents.”

Three cheers for Cotton’s effort. It’s about time the SPLC was rebuffed in its serial defamation, and that the Leftmedia was taken to the woodshed for continuing to peddle its hate as “nonpartisan” and authoritative.
