After it was discovered that in the four FISA warrants on Carter Page, no court proceedings were held. Then we learned that there was an obscure part of the law that allowed Loretta Lynch to authorize the spying on her own. Then, within 7 days, she would have to apply to the FISA court, but since the spying already started, the FISA judge would have rubber stamped it. But, the next three applications also had no court proceedings, so that could mean Rod Rosenstein authorized the next three. If so, that would explain why his foot is jammed on the...

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) tried unsuccessfully earlier this month to meet with the heads of three British intelligence agencies in his efforts to probe the so-called Steele dossier, according to media reports. The Atlantic on Tuesday first reported Nunes’s attempt to meet with the MI5, MI6 and GCHQ agencies while in London. The magazine reported that Nunes was seeking information on Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who compiled a dossier of opposition research on President Trump during the 2016 campaign. Representatives from the agencies considered meeting with Nunes but were unable to because of scheduling...

"""FBI Raid Thomas Paine’s House, Point Guns At His Young Children; How an Award-Winning Reporter Became Thomas Paine""" I can say with certainty, my decision to journey back into journalism was made after the FBI pointed guns at the heads of my wife and children. I knew that first morning (the FBI actually raided my home twice and pointed guns at my family twice) when federal agents raided our home one definitive thing was going to unfold: These bastards — and their bosses — were going to pay for violating my family. My kids. My home. One way or the...

Rod Rosenstein made the decision to turn over the Michael Cohen case to attorneys in the Southern District of New York. Rosenstein did this to ensure that the witch hunt against President Trump continued if President Trump shut down the junk Mueller investigation. The US attorney Trump appointed for that outpost, Geoffrey Berman, reportedly was ordered to recuse himself by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, leaving the office staffed mostly by holdovers from Preet Bharara’s tenure.

James Comey's memoir, pompously titled A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, set for release on April 17, is out from the reviewer class, and all but one seems to have missed the bombshell in it: that Comey neglected to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her refusal to properly handle the nation's top secrets through her illegal private bathtub server, and exposed those secrets to  our nation's enemies, because he thought she would win the 2016 election.  Some Boy Scout, as he and his allies portray him. Quite a few of the reviewers focus on Comey's descriptive powers, something that could make...

RUSH: By the way, the Comey memos regarding Trump and Flynn, do you know what they really reveal? They reveal that Trump had a lot of reservations about Flynn’s judgment. It wasn’t just related to the phone call he had with the Russian ambassador who went to lunch all the time, Sergey Kislyak. According to Comey’s memos, Trump’s reservations about Flynn were numerous, and they were related to his judgment. Trump was not confident of it. Now, case you’re asking, no, there were no Comey memos ever of any of his meetings or time spent with President Obama. You might...

Barack Obama has been quiet and the Clintons are always involved in things. It's no coincidence that Lanny Davis was Michael Cohen's attorney. I'm surprised that more isn't being discussed about how much Obama and the Clintons are directing the Mueller witch hunt. Obama hasn't even been asked about his FBI spying on the Trump Campaign, and what he knew.

When then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was closing the Hillary Clinton email investigation for a second time just days before the 2016 election, he certified to Congress that his agency had “reviewed all of the communications” discovered on a personal laptop used by Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, Anthony Weiner. At the time, many wondered how investigators managed over the course of one week to read the “hundreds of thousands” of emails residing on the machine, which had been a focus of a sex-crimes investigation of Weiner, a former Congressman. Comey later told Congress that “thanks...

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley isn't backing down as the Justice Department rebuffs his repeated attempts to speak with the FBI agent whose interview with Michael Flynn was used to indict the ex-national security adviser in the Russia probe. “This is no ordinary criminal case,” Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote in a June 6 letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. “Congress has a right to know the full story and to know it now.” Grassley is pressing his request anew after the DOJ once again rejected his bid to speak with FBI Agent Joe Pientka and to obtain the FBI’s...

The more you dig into the this whole Robert Mueller witch hunt the more corruption you find with basically everyone involved. The guy who actually appointed Robert Mueller to conduct his tax payer funded witch hunt with Clinton lackeys is married to a Clinton attorney. The Russians couldn’t have set this up any better. I’m sure Lisa Barsoomian is a top notch attorney. She did get to where she is today because of name recognition. I mean if Billy BJ Clinton used her as an attorney, how could you argue her credentials? At least Rosenstein married well.

The Democrats Don’t Have a Foreign Policy, They Have A Trump Policy Not just treasonous, stupid. May 10, 2018 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism. Quick, what’s the Dem position on Syria? What about China? Don’t bother. There was once a time when Democrats could discuss Syria, North Korea, the South China Sea, economic tensions in the European Union and the future of Africa. But that was before Trump. Democrats don’t have a foreign policy anymore. They have a Trump...

Real Title: Bruce Ohr Emails Show Links Among Obama DOJ, Steele, Simpson… And Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska Snip~~ New emails obtained by investigative journalist Byron York show Christopher Steele may have been working on behalf of Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska at the same time he was compiling his dossier in 2016–and Obama’s Justice Department, along with Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson may have been a part of the conspiracy.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said that twice-demoted DOJ official, Bruce Ohr, will become “more and more important” in their investigation into the possible FBI/DOJ mishandling of the Trump-Russia probe.On Tuesday, Nunes told Fox News host, Sean Hannity, “Bruce Ohr is going to become more and more important.”(video at link)When asked by Hannity to explain Ohr’s FBI interview reports, Nunes said, “So the FBI interviewed Bruce Ohr at least a dozen times and put together reports. So once they fired (dossier author Christopher) Steele, which at that point they should’ve not been meeting with him anymore, but what...

Is This Why Trump Hasn't Fired Rosenstein? In this short video of Judge Andrew Napolitano on "Fox And Friends", Napolitano speculates that Manafort's defense (in his tax evasion, money-laundering trial) is going to be, "I was investigated for all this by the government eight years ago, and I was exonerated. And I'm going to put on the witness stand, as my first witness, the young lawyer who exonerated me...Rod Rosenstein". Note: Other than Napolitano's claim of exoneration of Manafort by Rosenstein, I haven't been able to verify this as being factual. with any other source of information. Does anyone know...

Bombshell: Eight years ago Paul Manafort was investigated for the very same charges he has since been indicted for by special counsel Robert Mueller. Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano made this point on Wednesday during an appearance on the network’s morning show, “Fox & Friends.” What’s more, a legal team led by current Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was responsible for exonerating Manafort, as Napolitano reminded the audience.
