Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was the person who handed the “Trump dossier” over to the FBI earlier this year.
We know the DNC and Clinton campaign funded the dossier.
Now, a top McCain associate will be subpoenaed. Here’s why…
From The Hill:
The House Intelligence Committee has issued a subpoena to an associate of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) over his connection with the controversial dossier containing unverified allegations about President Trump and his ties to Russia, The Hill confirmed on Wednesday.
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) wants to talk to David Kramer, a former State Department official and current senior director at the nonprofit McCain Institute, about his visit to London in November 2016, a source familiar with the matter confirmed.
[…]
While in London, Kramer met with the dossier’s author, former British spy Christopher Steele, at McCain’s request, to view “the pre-election memoranda on a confidential basis,” according to court filings.
Mum is the word for McCain, as he refused to say earlier this year whether or not he knew the dossier was Clinton-funded.
From Breitbart:
PHILADELPHIA — Sen. John McCain may find himself facing serious questions following the disclosure that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research utilized in the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump.
In December, it was McCain who notoriously passed the controversial dossier documents produced by the Washington opposition research firm Fusion GPS to then FBI Director James Comey, whose agency reportedly utilized the dossier as some of the basis for its probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
McCain’s office did not immediately respond to Breitbart News phone and email requests for comment about whether the Arizona senator was aware that the research he passed to the FBI was paid for by the DNC and Clinton’s campaign.
McCain’s office also did not immediately respond to a request for information on how he first obtained the dossier.
The Washington Post on Tuesday reported that in April 2016, attorney Marc E. Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained Fusion GPS to conduct the questionable research on behalf of both the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Through Perkins Coie, Clinton’s campaign and the DNC continued to fund Fusion GPS until October 2016, days before Election Day, the Post reported.
Fusion GPS went on to hire former intelligence agent Christopher Steele to do the purported research. Steele later conceded in court documents that part of his work still needed to be verified.
What a cluster.
The fact that Republicans have been actively working with Democrats to get Trump impeached speaks volumes!

(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)Trump is saving Western civilization. Not necessarily because of his policies, though. Rather, Trump’s unorthodox political style has created a new political reality in which old ideas are being re-examined or even thrown out, while new ideas are being seriously considered. This is vital to a successful and functional country, and it may just mean the public is ready to have an honest conversation about radical Islam.
Of course, Clarion Project is a non-partisan organization. (While we comment on Trump’s counter-extremism policies, we are not endorsing or rejecting Trump’s policies as a whole). Rather, we have a single mission: to educate the public about the dangers of radical Islam and promote people and policies which are effective in working against it.
Our staff holds a wide range of political opinions and loyalties. We feel this strengthens our organization and helps us build the broadest possible coalition to defeat radical Islam.
At Clarion, by maintaining partisan neutrality, we are in a unique position to nudge the world one step closer to resolving the international problem of radical Islam that causes so much harm to so many.
Which brings us back to Trump. The president’s style can be understood through the context of the political philosophy called the “Overton Window.” Formulated by Joe Overton in the 1990s, the theory maintains that there is an “acceptable” range of politically viable ideas on any given issue, framed by the range of ideas held by the public. For example, discussions of taxes mostly focus on raising or lowering existing taxes and essentially tinkering with the current system. Rarely do you hear a politician proposing something genuinely radical, like abolishing income tax altogether and replacing it with a flat sales tax of 15%. This is because the idea is too outlandish and novel for most people to be willing to consider.
“So, if a think tank’s research and the principles of sound policy suggest a particular idea that lies outside the Overton window, what is to be done? Shift the window,” Nathan Russell wrote for the MacKinac Institute in an essay explaining the Overton window. “Since commonly held ideas, attitudes and presumptions frame what is politically possible and create the ‘window,’ a change in the opinions held by politicians and the people in general will shift it. Move the window of what is politically possible and those policies previously impractical can become the next great popular and legislative rage.”
Trump has been a brick through that window.
He has triggered a cultural moment where people are now discussing issues like radical Islam in an open, candid way for the first time in decades.
Trump is saving the West is by reigniting that most important ingredient in a functional polity: an engaged citizenry.
In 2018, Clarion intends to use this opportunity to keep speaking about radical Islam and tap into a public that is ready to look at new approaches and solutions to this on-going, global challenge.
For those of us "in-the-know" in regards to what's really happening behind the scenes with Trumps recent executive orders, coinciding with the breadcrumbs being dropped by "Q", you might find the following article pretty interesting. Will 2018 be the end of the Cabal's grip on America?
Only time will tell..in the meantime, we all need to pray for Gods protection and get involved in 2018! It's a great opportunity to elect true conservative candidates to give OUR President the back-up he needs to restore our Republic and push the MAGA agenda forward.
I urge all who take the time to read this get involved with local Republican groups in your cities and state next year. It is a great opportunity to first, purge ourselves of these traitorous Rhino Republicans who have done nothing but undermine our President and two, re-shape our party, bringing it back to true conservative patriotism on all levels, not just the grassroots. IT CAN BE DONE!
God bless all of you out there behind the screen, stay strong and fight on!
The U.S. economy continues to add jobs at a steady clip, with America’s Hispanic population and experienced manufacturing workers particularly benefitting.
A report released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that nonfarm payrolls grew by 228,000 jobs in November, with gains across all sectors except information and utilities. The pace in November is higher than the 2017 average of 174,000 per month, and 1.7 million jobs have been added since January. The November unemployment rate matched October’s rate of 4.1 percent, which was the lowest rate in more than 16 years (since December 2000). For Hispanic workers, the 4.7 percent unemployment rate in November was the lowest in at least 44 years.
The upward employment trend reflects gains in various industries, including manufacturing, where 31,000 jobs were added in November. The manufacturing industry has added 171,000 jobs in 2017, for an average monthly change of 16,000 jobs (see figure below). These changes reflect a turnaround from manufacturing employment losses in 2016, which averaged more than 1,000 jobs lost per month. Accordingly, the unemployment rate for manufacturing workers, 2.6 percent in November, was the lowest in at least 17 years. (The series began in 2000.) Unemployment rates are discussed in more detail below.
Durable goods manufacturers added a statistically significant 27,000 new jobs in November, including 8,000 additional jobs in machinery and 7,000 in fabricated metal products. Machinery manufacturing job gains may be related to the addition of 7,000 jobs in mining and logging in November and 57,000 since January. Fabricated metal producers — the sub-industry that transforms metals, such as steel, into intermediate or end products, other than machinery, computers and electronics, etc. — have added 42,000 jobs since January. In total, durable goods manufacturers have added 100,000 jobs since January.
Employment in the construction industry increased by 24,000 in November, contributing to 138,000 new construction industry jobs since January 2017. Construction industry sub-sectors with the largest gains in November are nonresidential specialty trade contractors, which gained 12,000 jobs, and residential specialty trade contractors, which gained 11,000 jobs in November. Specialty trade contractors perform services such as plumbing, electrical work, and masonry. These gains may be related to hurricane rebuilding efforts.
The average weekly hours for all employees did not change significantly in November, edging up 0.1 hour to of 34.5 in November, while private sector workers saw a significant increase in average hourly earnings of 5 cents in November – a 2.5 percent increase relative to 12 months prior.
In results from a separate Household Survey, the November unemployment rate (U-3) remained unchanged at 4.1 percent, 0.7 percentage point lower than January’s rate of 4.8 percent. The unemployment rate increased slightly by an alternate unemployment measure; the broadest measure (U-6) rose by 0.1 percentage point from October to 8.0 percent.
The labor force participation rate (LFPR) was unchanged in November from the previous month at 62.7 percent, which is below the post-recession average of 63.5 percent. For prime-aged individuals (ages 25-54), the LFPR increased by 0.2 percentage points in November to 81.8 percent, remaining above the January 2017 rate (81.5 percent). For prime-aged women, the LFPR increased by 0.4 percentage points in November to 75.3 percent, continuing an upward trend over the past couple of years.
Today’s BLS report suggests that real GDP growth continues to translate into increased employment opportunities for American workers.

The leadership of the DOJ and the FBI are intertwined in the 2016 election operation to support candidate Hillary Clinton and defeat candidate Donald Trump. However, most of the investigative discussions center around the FBI side of the equation. There’s a good reason for that.
The FBI side of the conspiracy is pretty straight forward. FBI Director James Comey, FBI Asst. Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker, FBI Counterintelligence Head Bill Priestap, and FBI Counterintelligence Agent Peter Strzok all played a participatory role in the Trump Operation.
The 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation was surveillance on the Trump Campaign and was thinly disguised under the fraudulent auspices of a FISA warrant, sold as a defense of U.S. democracy from Russia, which permitted the wiretaps and surveillance etc.
Two DOJ people (central to the FBI) relayed and acted as facilitators between the FBI side and the DOJ side: DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr and FBI/DOJ lawyer Lisa Page. Outlines of their collaborative efforts, and the trails they left behind, have filled the headlines recently.
On the Department of Justice side of the operation, specifically the DOJ leadership involvement, things are less clearly outlined. Again, there’s a reason for that.
The DOJ involvement surrounds legal arguments, processing of FISA applications, and use of the legal system to support the FBI with actionable legal framing (against Trump) mostly after their candidate, Hillary Clinton, was defeated.
In essence, in a bastardized manipulation of Law and Order, the FBI created disorder and the DOJ weaponized that manufactured disorder to launch a legal attack against their ideological political opposition, President-elect Donald Trump. Unlawfulness and Disorder.
However, to best understand the DOJ side, it’s helpful to look at a specific time, September and October 2016. That’s when the second FISA application was presented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), using the information from the FBI counterintelligence operation (Steele Dossier etc.) as the basis for that application.
As of this writing the FBI and DOJ are refusing to answer foundational questions about that second FISA application and the subsequent FISA warrant that was used as a justification for the Wiretaps and Surveillance that began on the Trump Campaign.
The dates here seem intentionally cloudy because, according to James Comey testimony, the FBI counterintelligence operation began in July 2016, around the same time the Steele Dossier was given to the FBI and simultaneous to the first FISA application being denied.
The second FISA application was approved in/around October 2016. All current media outlines overlook the obvious question of whether the wiretaps and surveillance began in July 2016 without a warrant.
Given the nature of the illegality involved with the entire effort it would be naive to think the FBI waited until October for wiretaps to become legal when their own admissions state they began the operation in July, three months prior.
The story of October 2016 has more interesting aspects. But first, we must gain a greater understanding of the division within the DOJ that was involved.
♦The National Security Division (NSD) inside the DOJ was where all of the collaboration appears to have taken place. The NSD is a sub-division within the DOJ similar to the Counterintelligence Division within the FBI.
Using the National Security Division (NSD) inside the DOJ presents a specifically useful angle for the purposes of hiding duplicitous, unethical and unlawful conduct. Why? Well, here’s where the mirrored entry starts and also where it gets interesting.
(click image to enlarge)
Responding to a 2015 request by the DOJ Office of Inspector General, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told the internal watchdog they cannot investigate the National Security Division.
That’s right, there is essentially no oversight on any activity happening inside the NSD.
In 2015 the OIG requested oversight and it was Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58 page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
The Department of Justice’s own Inspector General (currently Michael Horowitz who opened a January 2017 investigation into the 2016 politicization of the FBI and DOJ) is not allowed to investigate anything that happens within the NSD branch of the Department of Justice.
See the ‘useful arrangement‘?
Yeah, Funny that.
So it might not be so coincidental the players used on the DOJ side of “Operation Trump” all seem to come from within the National Security Division.
I digress, but remember, I said pay attention to the September/October 2016 time-frame.
DOJ Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr was “demoted” in the summer of 2017 after the Inspector General discovered unreported 2016 contacts between Ohr and Russian Dossier author Christopher Steele, as well as contact with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, in October 2016. [Also remember Bruce’s wife, Nellie Ohr, was hired by Fusion GPS in April 2016 to start the research that ultimately ended with the sketchy dossier.]
Also in October 2016, right around the time the DOJ lawyers formatted the FBI information (Steele Dossier etc.) for the FISA Application, the head of the NSD, Asst. Attorney General John P Carlin, left his job.
It would have specifically been John Carlin’s responsibility to ensure a valid legal basis for the FISA application submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Remember also, the July 2016 application was denied, a rarity. Therefore, if the second application used ‘sketchy’ enhancements – for the matter of accountability it no longer mattered because Asst. Attorney General John Carlin was headed to the exits.
After NSD head John Carlin left the DOJ he was replaced with Acting Asst. Attorney General Mary McCord. [*Remember this*] Also note “Stuart Evans”.
Hopefully I haven’t lost you yet.
Summary of October 2016 so far: ♦Bruce Ohr is meeting with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson and not telling his bosses. ♦The DOJ National Security Division submits FISA application for FBI use (likely using dossier). ♦The Head of DOJ National Security Division, John Carlin, quits.
Wait, it gets better.
I’m not making this up.
Immediately after the second FISA warrant is approved,… in the period where John Carlin has given his notice of intent to leave, but not yet left… Inside those specific two weeks,… On September 26th, 2016, the National Security Division of the DOJ tells the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) they have been breaking the law; and the NSD specifically informs the court they have been using FISA applications to spy on their domestic political opposition.
Wait, what?
You’ve… just…. got… to… be… kidding… right?
Nope. LOOK:
.
However, we don’t discover this September 26th 2016 DOJ admission until May 2017. That’s when the FISA court decision on the self-reporting was released to the public, declassified and we find the details outlined within the court ruling.
The NSD admits the details how, under President Obama, the Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch Department of Justice used FISA applications to spy on political opponents, unmasked conversations to discover content, and also disclosed this has been happening for SIX YEARS prior to the beginning of the July 2016 joint FBI/DOJ “Trump Operation”.
Now, SERIOUSLY, does anyone doubt what the October 2016 FISA warrant was about?
You can read the 99-page FISA court ruling above –LINK HERE– and you can watch the explanation of 99-page FISC ruling above as shared by Judicial Watch below:
.
Recapping September/October 2016: ♦Bruce Ohr and Peter Strzok are secretly meeting with Christopher Steele (Dossier) and Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS). ♦The NSD is submitting a second FISA application to spy on candidate Trump. ♦The Justice Department National Security Division head announces his intention to leave the NSD. ♦And the DOJ-NSD inform the FISA Court they have weaponized prior FISA warrants for political operations.
Now, retain your blood pressure and watch National Security Division, Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Office of Intelligence, Stuart Evans testify to congress on June 27th 2017:

Additionally, if I’m going to drag you into the rabbit hole where the corruptocrats speak in riddles – you might want to help me guess an answer this question:
@00:26 Who is: “I took a senior member of the National Security Division”?
.
The date Sally Yates is describing is January 26th, 2017 – when she went to see White House Counsel Don McGhan to discuss Mike Flynn’s January 24th ambush interview with FBI agent Peter Strzok.
My hunch is the “senior member of the National Security Division” was Mary McCord.
I seem to vaguely remember something from WikiLeaks emails about four political women who would ensure Hillary Clinton’s victory…
.

The media left yet another milestone go by unnoticed. The monolithic military headquarters are going to withstand an official inspection that will find out inexplicable sums of up to trillions of dollars missing. This is the first time the Pentagon is undergoing such a thing in their 74 year existence.
Zero Hedge says that Donald Rumsfeld, back in the day when he was the Defense Secretary in 2001, revealed that according “to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,” undertaken by the Pentagon.
Fifteen years later, it seems as if nothing has changed, no improvement on the horizon. According to an Inspector General Report, now the Pentagon aside from having money problems, they had an issue accounting for men as well.
In a different article Zero Hedge releases that “America’s world-wide military presence is such that the Pentagon itself can’t track how many US service members are deployed where. A new bombshell article in Stars and Stripes military newspaper is non-ironically headlined, ‘Report: 44,000 ‘unknown’ military personnel stationed around the world’.”
Donald Trump approved 2,400 auditors from independent public accounting firms to investigate the Army, Navy, Air Force and more. He is planning on making this practice a annual thing.
Norquist, a former official at the Department of Homeland Security helped in this quest for auditing these agencies last year and considers it “a matter of driving change inside a bureaucracy that may resist it.”
That’s exactly what Pentagon did. Resist. Massive spending has been revealed since the 1980’s but the Department of Defense has always found ways to put audits off for political influence and advantageous opportunities.
Zero Hedge reports, the public quickly forgot the 2001 Rumsfeld revelation, after the terrible September 11th befall the nation the next day.
In “2015, the Pentagon denied trying to shelve a study detailing $125 billion in waste created by a bloated employee counts for noncombat related work such as human resources, finance, health care management and property management.”
After a year had passed, Franklin C. Spinney, a DOD analyst testified in front of Congress that the Department of Defense made a complete chaos in accounting with un-auditable books and budget projections that did not meet with reality.
In case it turns out that Pentagon has intentionally or non-intentionally lost track of trillions of dollars in a time when “our fighter jets are falling out of the sky”, there is no salary for our brave soldiers than the whole structure of the organization must be built all over again, straight from the ground.

via Media hush up brutal Somali stabbing attack on Minneapolis woman – LeoHohmann.com
Morgan Evenson was walking home in downtown Minneapolis about 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 13 when a black man got out of his car, chased her down, tackled her and repeatedly thrust a four-inch blade into her flailing body.
The 26-year-old computer-store clerk frantically fought back, kicking, scratching and screaming for help.
At some point, neighbors heard her screams and came to her aid. Her attacker – described as a Somali man in his early 20s, about 5-foot-7 with a slight build and wearing grey stone-washed jeans – ran away.
Evenson was left bleeding on the curb with 14 stab wounds on her arms, neck and back. Her kidney was lacerated. She was lucky to survive the attack.
It happened while she was walking home from the Apple Store, where she worked, about eight blocks away from her apartment. That’s when the man attacked her for no apparent reason. Police, who have not made any arrests in the case, are calling it a botched robbery.
Police said the case was unusual for the level of brutality employed just to get a woman’s purse. But some Minnesotans are wondering if there isn’t more to the story, if maybe the young redhead’s assailant didn’t want more than just a purse.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the city’s largest newspaper, has been completely AWOL on the story.
The newspaper’s on-duty news editor, Maria Reeve, did not return my calls Tuesday to inquire about why it went dark on such a brutal, unprovoked attack on a defenseless, unarmed woman walking home from work.
Other media, such as the Southwest Journal, have reported on the crime but left out the assailant’s full description as a Somali migrant.
Only one media outlet, local ABC News affiliate KSTP, included in its on-air coverage the fact that the victim described her assailant as Somali, but the station’s website article failed to mention that fact.
Watch KSTP’s description of the attack and the suspect
A friend of Evenson’s started a GoFundMe page to raise money for uncovered medical costs.
The page said Evenson was readmitted to the hospital Dec. 19 to monitor a recurring fever and blood pressure.
As of Tuesday afternoon the GoFundMe page had raised more than $15,000 for uncovered medical bills.
No isolated case
The case of Morgan Evenson continues a pattern of Somali crimes being covered up, downplayed, lightly investigated and eventually falling off the radar in Minnesota.
Here are just some of the Somali-related cases in Minnesota that never seem to get resolved.
Debra Anderson, chair of ACT For America’s Minnesota chapter, said she has been trying for four years, without success, to get Minnesota sheriffs to train their departments to better prepare and deal with Sharia-related crime such as FGM, honor violence and terrorism.
She said it was telling that no police response was recorded in the stabbing attack on Morgan Evenson. Her life was only saved because she fought back and her screams were heard by people living and working in the area.
“It was interesting the articles I read didn’t say anything about the police coming. Not a thing. Just sounds like the classic media template used in Europe,” Anderson said. “You had to get all the way through that KSTP [broadcast only] report to find out he’s Somali, and it was never mentioned in the other media outlets at all.”
That’s very disconcerting for someone who has been trying to educate Minnesotans about the pitfalls of kowtowing to the Somali community and its “civil rights” advocates at CAIR.
“It’s unofficial but Minnesota law enforcement agencies are enforcing, or at least tolerating, Shariah law. Most people don’t know it yet but the police are not here to protect the indigenous Minnesotans anymore,” Anderson said. “They have been incrementally changing their search policies and their use of force policies for years. We’re not being protected anymore. They’re protecting the Muslims, so it’s becoming increasingly like Europe. Yes, it’s here now.”

Evenson told KSTP her main concern now is getting better and helping police find whoever did this so he cannot do it again.
How will police or anyone else help find the perp if they don’t provide a detailed description?
One wonders if anyone has told the victim that Nashville is another hotbed of Somali Muslim invaders?
