Nunes on Fox and Friends just said he will be pushing in the Intelligence committee this week to hold AG Jeff Sessions in Contempt due to a continuing stonewalling of the House Intelligence Committees investigation of FISA abuses by the Obama administration in the wire tapping of Carter Page (Former Trump Foreign Policy Advisor)

Nunes just revealed that he is moving next week to hold Sessions in contempt, and suing the DOJ for not responding to his subpoena for undisclosed, classified information recently requested.

Sadly, Nunes stated he’s not even sure Sessions knows about this.

https://thepointman.wordpress.com/2018/05/03/whos-actually-running-this-game/

This piece by “The point man” is so well done i may re read it over and over,thanks to pugmama for providing it.
heres a clip:

I’ve said on previous occasions that although Trump habitually likes to seize the initiative in surprising ways when confronted by problems, he’s actually more of a long-term planner. He understands that some problems have a quick fire tactical solution, but other problems have what can only be called inertia. They need patience and can’t be solved quickly, but must be picked apart over a few months or even a year or two. Any legal problems certainly have inertia and the concept of a quick settlement is a very relative term in legal circles.

His handling of the Mueller investigation has been classic Trump. The whole idea of Russia being able to significantly influence a presidential election was laughable from the very start, especially as I’ve no doubt Putin would rather be dealing with Clinton than Trump for reasons that have become obvious over the last year and a half. Trump has curtailed Putin’s territorial ambitions on Russia’s western approaches and is presently pushing him out of his toehold in Syria. Trump is brutally taking back all the ground lost in the foreign policy disasters of the Obama, Clinton and Kerry years.

Given that Vlad didn’t help him win the presidency, Trump has nothing to fear from the investigation. If it were to start manufacturing a case against him, he’s got more than enough money to hire enough legal firepower to rip it apart, which is why Mueller will steer well clear of going after Trump directly. But there’s another consideration. If you think the whole thing was just set up to somehow delegitimise and most optimistically pull down the Trump presidency, which I do, then it would be a large part of the devious plan to staff it only with Clinton sycophants and Trump haters, which is exactly what they did.

At face value, that might seem a tough situation for Trump to make the great escape out of, but on sober consideration, it has one central and very exploitable flaw running through the whole thing. You don’t just pluck hitherto honourable people out of the air and then instruct them to do dishonourable things just to bring down a legitimate presidency by any means possible. So, you have to go in the other direction, and staff it with compliant scum who’ll do whatever they’re told to do. People who have no professional integrity were always like that. They didn’t suddenly make that change in mid-career. Scum are scum from the word go.

A good example of that is Hillary Clinton, who as a junior lawyer attached to the Watergate investigation, was fired from it for lying and a lack of integrity. As I said, scum are scum from the word go, and they don’t change either. It was as if Trump was sitting down to play a game of poker, but had the advantage of knowing for sure every other player around the table was a cheat. Once you’ve spotted that weakness in your opponent, the problem then becomes one of how to exploit it to maximum effect.

As far as I know, Trump didn’t raise any significant objection to Mueller’s appointment, the terms of reference of the investigation – long since abandoned in desperation by Mueller – nor the selection of personnel on it who were supposedly going to decide his fate as president. When your opponent is putting together a very bad move, you let them get on with it. Mueller duly brought back in all the old Obama/Clinton henchmen who were veterans of several previous dodgy exploits. The whole kangaroo court he ended up with was a left-winger’s wet dream and Trump’s impeachment, for that was what would surely happen, was now only a few month’s away. Oh to have a political hymen like that again.

Seemingly, he’s practically ignored Mueller for over a year. By refusing to engage with the whole thing, he’s made them look like little lap dogs furiously nipping at his heels in a vain attempt to get his attention. He’s been very presidential, and the optics are he’s held himself well above the partisan grubbiness of it all while he got on with the more important matters of state. His hands have always been clean in that he directly had nothing to do with the various scandals that have rocked it about its legal basis and personnel, all of which have devalued any possible judgment they might come to, but I’ve no doubt it was occasionally his hand behind the scenes moving a few pawns around on the board.

In the year the investigation’s been running, there’s been a steady drip of revelations that have totally undermined the whole legal basis of it, never mind any supposed objectivity on the part of the various lawyers and investigators attached to it. Who actually paid for the black ops dossier which was the legal rationale for appointing Mueller in the first place. The machinations of people like Comey, McCabe and McCain in routing that dossier through the swamp to create the investigation. All the leaking of classified information by people like Clapper, Comey and others in a gross betrayal of office. The hate Trumps texts being exchanged by Strzok and Page as they conducted their adulterous affair, as well as supposedly objective investigations into Trump. The list goes on and on.

"Further, Ellis demanded to see the unredacted “scope memo,” a document outlining the scope of the special counsel’s Russia probe that congressional Republicans have also sought."

I believe that's where Dreeben replied (from the transcript): "the specifics of the investigation were conveyed to us not on the face of the May 17 order but in interaction with the acting attorney general." In other words, 'Rosenstein SAID it was OK'.

How the dickens can he then justify holding Sessions in contempt? For conduct Sessions has net been made aware of?

None of the letters demanding information have been addressed to Sessions? If they have, were they intercepted by a Chinese firewall run by deep state?

Netanyahu: Iran brazenly lied about nuclear program, has made plans to revive it
Hailing one of Israeli intel’s greatest achievements, PM says Israel obtained 100,000 documents from Tehran, proving pact with world powers based on ‘Iranian deception’
By ALEXANDER FULBRIGHT

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of lying about its nuclear program in a speech broadcast live Monday, revealing information he said showed the Islamic Republic had for years worked on developing nuclear weapons, and that it has put plans in place to pursue such weapons despite signing the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

The premier, who has repeatedly called for the accord between world powers and Iran to either be altered or scrapped, said Israel had obtained 100,000 secret Iranian files a few weeks ago in one the “greatest achievements” of Israeli intelligence.

Speaking in English at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu gave a presentation including videos and slides he said exposed Iran’s nuclear dossier.

“You may well know that Iran’s leaders repeatedly deny ever pursuing nuclear weapons,” he said, before playing clips of Iran’s supreme leader, president and foreign minister denying the country ever sought such capabilities.

“Iran lied. Big time,” said Netanyahu, adding that the trove included a half-ton of material.

The cache, he said, contained “incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos and more.

“We’ve shared this material with the United States, and the United States can vouch for its authenticity,” he said of the information.

Bibi has destroyed the Mullahs and now it will be tough for even the money hungry Europeans to resist new sanctions on the mad mullahs.
An if the mullahs play too fast and loose well just look what happened in Norkville:
They had a suspicious cave-in with all their nuke stuff gone in an instant. Think it can’t happen in Mullahville,well think again...

Thanks, Rod!

I was outside this very beautiful and cool morning planting my tomatoes!

175 plants with about 20 varieties; all grown from seed by myself.

I choose varieties that can withstand the heat and humidity but have exceptional taste. You won’t these babies in the grocery store!

Anyway, I’ve only got 40 or so planted so I got to go back to it. You and the others please keep an eye on things!

On the MAGA March on Washington, on Monday I will be calling for a meeting so we can start planning this out.

Stay tuned!

Why was Michael Avenatti NOT RAIDED LIKE COHEN?

Avenatti has said ON THE RECORD that he has PURPOSEFULLY HELD BACK EVIDENCE FROM THE FBI!

Avenatti also said he was holding back certain details of the alleged affair...

He said: "It would make no sense for us to play our hand as to this issue and we're not going to do it right now."


"When Cuomo expressed skepticism that Avenatti had evidence of a cover-up, the lawyer said: “We have substantial evidence and facts that were not included in the complaint".

“We’re not going to lay all of our cards out on the table … when that evidence and those facts come to light..."

Wow!

I just found a picture of Rosenstein and Sessions.

In this picture, Rosenstein is scolding the Congress from trying to wake AG Sessions from his vitally needed rest:

-- In other words, 'Rosenstein SAID it was OK'. --

There is ample evidence that Rosenstein approved the scope of investigation, and allowed Mueller to run the show against Manafort and his pre-campaign activities. Rosenstein produced a letter at least after the fact of the Manafort raid.

There is no evidence that Rosenstein objects to the scope creep, and Rosenstein was grilled on this point in open Congressional testimony.

I'm not saying I think the scope creep is okay, only that Mueller and Rosenstein are on the same page, and as far as Mueller is concerned, if his grant gives him the subject matter jusrisdiction, he has the subject matter jurisdiction. Jurisdiction as those clowns see it is "anybody who worked on the Trump campaign is fair game for a probe."

The Comitee sent a classifed follow up to Session demanding information on the FISA abuses use to start this whole clown show in motion.

Session ignored it.

That Contempt of Congress and Session needs to be fired today.

Congress has oversight of FISA. It HAS to since all of this was done with just a Judge and Government lawyers. NO ONE BUT Congress has any oversight of what they do in there. DOJ MUST comply. Their failure to is all ready a Constitutional Crisis.

NO ONE is allows secret “Star Chamber” courts and limitless investigation powers. EVERYONE MUST be accountable to oversite or the Republic is finished.
