New York Attack Results Of What Hawaii
Judge Watson And liar-nObama Unleashed
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Maybe a reporter in Hawaii will be able to get a statement from liar-nObama’s choom gang federal judge, Derrick Watson ,on the terrorist attack in New York City... His thoughts would be interesting, considering there are eight people now dead, who were alive and healthy this morning. They died in an attack conducted by one of the Islamic immigrants given preferential treatment by Judge Watson, the Ninth Circuit, other libtard judges across the nation, liar-Hillary Clinton and Hussein liar-nObama under his insane, Soros-mandated, open borders – “everybody’s a pathetic, good-hearted refugee who just wants to be an American” policies. This terrorist scumbag entered the United States in 2010 but there are many more just like him who still flow in on a daily basis. In case so-called judge Watson didn’t notice or chooses to pretend that his vision of paradise isn’t responsible as the manipulative evil holding power serving the rest of us up as sacrifices to their globalist agenda, the terrorist who mowed down innocent pedestrians on a New York City street and bike path shouted Allahu Akbar repeatedly, after exiting his vehicle... https://rickwells.us/new-york-attack-watson-obama/.

Podesta Group’s Ties to
Manafort Case Loom Larger in Mueller Probe
by Fred Lucas
{dailysignal.com} ~ The lobbying group co-founded by liar-Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman is in the crosshairs of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation... being mentioned indirectly Monday in the 12-count indictment of President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager. The Podesta Group has been identified in news reports as “Company B,” one of two firms that has lobbied for pro-Russian Ukrainian government officials, in the indictment of Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign manager, and Manafort associate Rick Gates. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by John Podesta, liar-Clinton’s former campaign chairman, who hasn’t been part of the company’s operations since leaving in 1993 to work for President liar-Bill Clinton’s White House, and eventually became chief of staff... http://dailysignal.com/2017/10/31/podesta-groups-role-in-manafort-case-looms-larger/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTTJZNE5UTTBOV0ZqT0RRNCIsInQiOiIwdlhEYUo3ZzBJNXV2ZDdROVlNc0xMMTNsMno1NmRmcVBwTmQyVmtYUFYwY0lGTHdEWnhIcGxaR05FRVpHNFBubWxiejRWRU52WG1VUDd2MHJOT1N0WXpwdklyekx1QVZWUzRvQm9jd3pHRVBrd05aNFhwU0hnNkN5WE9GVDBCbSJ9.
Questions the Justice Department Must Answer
About Uranium One and liar-Clinton Foundation
by Hans von Spakovsky
{dailysignal.com} ~ While the media’s attention has shifted to the indictment of Paul Manafort, the liar-nObama administration’s handling of the Uranium One “bribery plot” as The Hill called it in a startling expose raises serious... critical questions that must be answered about the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation. These questions can only be answered if Congress fulfills its oversight obligation by conducting an intense, serious investigation, and if the current leadership in the Justice Department cooperates by providing all of the information needed to fully explain what happened, and doesn’t try to obstruct the investigation... http://dailysignal.com/2017/10/31/7-questions-justice-department-must-answer-uranium-one-clinton-foundation/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTTJZNE5UTTBOV0ZqT0RRNCIsInQiOiIwdlhEYUo3ZzBJNXV2ZDdROVlNc0xMMTNsMno1NmRmcVBwTmQyVmtYUFYwY0lGTHdEWnhIcGxaR05FRVpHNFBubWxiejRWRU52WG1VUDd2MHJOT1N0WXpwdklyekx1QVZWUzRvQm9jd3pHRVBrd05aNFhwU0hnNkN5WE9GVDBCbSJ9.

D.C. Court Has Four More Sealed Indictments Pending Between Papadopoulos’s And Manafort’s
{hotair.com} ~ Another nice catch by a USA Today reporter to go with the one by Brad Heath in this post.
The floor is open, legal eagles. How much should we infer from the fact that there are four sealed indictments pending in D.C. federal court filed between George Papadopoulos’s document (#182) and the Paul Manafort/Rick Gates indictment (#201-B)?
One obvious question is how common sealed indictments are. Reilly counted them up and found that roughly 60 of the 188 criminal casesfiled this year are currently sealed. One-third means any individual sealed case isn’t that uncommon. On the other hand, including the Papadopoulos and Manafort/Gates documents, this means there were no fewer than six sealed criminal cases filed in a 22-day span, starting with Papadopoulos on October 5 and ending with Manafort/Gates on October 27. That’s more than you’d expect over such a short period from a random distribution — but not much more. Lawyer Gabriel Malor says it seems like a normal amount to him, suggesting that the other sealed indictments might not be Mueller’s handiwork.
Another interesting claim:
Note, docket 17-200 almost certainly IS Trump related. Manafort's is listed as Indictment B.
(So maybe Flynn has already flipped) https://twitter.com/BySteveReilly/status/925063641870856192 …
The Manafort/Gates indictment, #201, is in fact marked “INDICTMENT (B)” but, again, I defer to lawyers on what that might mean. Does that mean two distinct indictments were filed simultaneously, A and B, or does it just mean that Mueller filed an amended second version of the indictment for whatever reason? Lawyer Ken White, a former assistant U.S. Attorney, seems to think that emptywheel’s suspicion is correct. I bet Tony Podesta, just to take a person totally at random, would be curious to know if she’s right too. Assuming he doesn’t know already.
Speaking of which, righties seem to be treating the looming specter of a Podesta indictment as good news on the theory that criminal activity by a prominent Democrat’s brother will dilute the political pain for Team Trump as this plays out. Eh, I’d think that through before settling on that conclusion. The last thing Trump wants is evidence that Mueller is being evenhanded in this prosecution. His spin all along has been that the Russia probe is a partisan witch hunt concocted by Democrats to delegitimize his presidency. A Democrat, especially one who doesn’t hold office, getting snared in it makes that argument harder without any real benefit to Republicans apart from being able to say, “Well, some of theirs are crooked too.” Of course that’s true but one side has much, much more to lose in this particular investigation of crookedness.
Here’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders doing her level best to spin today’s news. Manafort’s indictment has nothing to do with Trump, she notes, and Papadopoulos was a nobody on the campaign, all of which is fair enough. Today’s news is bad for the president not because it implicates him directly in anything but because it puts three accused lawbreakers inside his campaign operation last year *and* raises the possibility that Mueller is playing chess with these indictments and has only just made his first move. Which is why Reilly’s observation about the other sealed indictments is so intriguing.
