The Inevitable New The Inevitable Trump Mocking Thread

Was someone making noise about my fed ex post the other day?

I kind of remember hearing little baby-squeals, like a rodent in a trap or something. Anyone else remember that?

Oh, and just got back from the big island. Volcano hurt it bad down south of Hilo. Jagger closed for good. But the shaved ice across from the fish truck are still awesome.

Speaking of, anybody seen my Huli Huli Boi? He take my bet yet?

And anyone seen Paulie Stillinjail? What's he up to?

FBI clashed with DOJ over potential 'bias' of source for surveillance warrant: McCabe-Page texts
greggre.jpg

By Gregg Re, Catherine Herridge | Fox News

Fox News obtained texts between former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page revealing that the two shared derogatory blogs about Trump and mocked former Congressman Trey Gowdy; Catherine Herridge reports.

Just nine days before the FBI applied for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil a top Trump campaign aide, bureau officials were battling with a senior Justice Department official who had "continued concerns" about the "possible bias" of a source pivotal to the application, according to internal text messages obtained by Fox News.



The 2016 messages, sent between former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, also reveal that bureau brass circulated at least two anti-Trump blog articles, including a Lawfare blog post sent shortly after Election Day that called Trump possibly "among the major threats to the security of the country."

COMEY ADMITS FBI 'DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER WE HAD ANYTHING' ON TRUMP WHEN HE WAS FIRED AS FBI DIRECTOR IN 2017

Another article, sent by Page in July 2016 as the FBI's counterintelligence probe into Russian election interference was kicking off, flatly called Trump a "useful idiot" for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Page told McCabe that then-FBI Director James Comey had "surely" read that piece. Both articles were authored in whole or part by Benjamin Wittes, a Comey friend.

Further, the texts show that on Sept. 12, 2016, Page forwarded to McCabe some "unsolicited comments" calling then-GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy a "total d--k." Gowdy, at the time, was grilling FBI congressional affairs director Jason Herring at a hearing on the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation.


But perhaps the most significant Page-McCabe communications made plain the DOJ's worries that the FISA application to surveil Trump aide Carter Page was based on a potentially biased source -- and underscored the FBI's desire to press on.

Fox News is told the texts were connected to the ultimately successful Page application, which relied in part on information from British ex-spy Christopher Steele – whose anti-Trump views are now well-documented – and cited Page’s suspected Russia ties. In its warrant application, the FBI assured the FISA court on numerous occasions that other sources independently corroborated Steele's claims but did not clearly state that Steele worked for a firm hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Carter Page has not been charged with any wrongdoing despite more than a year of federal surveillance, and he has since sued numerous actors -- including the Democratic National Committee (DNC) -- for defamation related to claims that he worked with Russia.

"OI [Office of Intelligence] now has a robust explanation re any possible bias of the chs [confidential human source] in the package," Lisa Page wrote to McCabe on Oct. 12, 2016. "Don't know what the holdup is now, other than Stu's continued concerns."

It's unclear whether the confidential source in question was Steele or another individual. "Stu" was an apparent reference to Stuart Evans, then the DOJ's National Security Division deputy assistant attorney general. In one previously unearthed and since-unredacted text message, former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok texted Lisa Page that he was "Currently fighting with Stu for this FISA" in late 2016.


(

"Strong operational need to have in place before Monday if at all possible, which means to ct tomorrow," Page added. "I communicated you and boss's green light to Stu earlier, and just sent an email to Stu asking where things stood. This might take a high-level push. Will keep you posted."

Minutes later, Page sent another urgent text to McCabe: "If I have not heard back from Stu in an hour, I will invoke your name to say you want to know where things are, so long as that is okay with you."

On Oct. 14, 2016, Page again wrote to McCabe, this time concerning a meeting with the White House.

“Just called," Page said to McCabe. "Apparently the DAG [Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates] now wants to be there, and WH wants DOJ to host. So we are setting that up now. ... We will very much need to get Cohen’s view before we meet with her. Better, have him weigh in with her before the meeting. We need to speak with one voice, if that is in fact the case.” ("Cohen" is likely then-Deputy CIA Director David Cohen.)

McCabe responded within the hour: "Thanks. I will reach out to David." On Oct. 19, Page wrote to McCabe that the "meeting with WH counsel is finally set up."

Lisa Page did not respond to Fox News' inquiries as to whether the meeting was designed to brief the White House on the FISA application or some other matter. Page also did not reply to Fox News' inquiries about the DOJ's concerns over the FISA application, or dispute that the texts related to the Carter Page warrant application. McCabe and the FBI declined to comment. Fox News has also reached out to the DOJ for comment.

The FISA application eventually filed by the FBI on Oct. 21, 2016 stated, "The F.B.I. believes [Carter] Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government."

The FBI went on to allege that Carter Page "has established relationships with Russian government officials, including Russian intelligence officers," and that the FBI believed "the Russian government’s efforts are being coordinated with [Carter] Page and perhaps other individuals associated with” Trump's campaign. Page, the FBI told the FISA court, “has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.”

  • REPORT: No More Indictments Coming in Robert Mueller Probe (AND Another Big Admission)


REPORT: No More Indictments Coming in Robert Mueller Probe (AND Another Big Admission)

Posted at 1:30 pm on March 22, 2019 by Bonchie

Trump-Mueller-620x349.jpg


So that’s it then?

We just spent tens of millions of dollars and two wasted years on political chaos just for Mueller to prosecute some low-level operatives on process crimes and Paul Manfort for actions the DOJ knew about years before the special counsel was even appointed? Oh, and he’s also going to tell us what we already knew in early 2017 before he hired the first person on his staff. That the Russians bought Facebook ads and wanted to meddle in the election. Groundbreaking stuff.



Can we get a refund?

Per sources close to the investigation, it appears Mueller is done with his indictments.

Sources familiar with the investigation believe there are no more indictments coming from the special counsel. If Mueller follows the guidance of the man who appointed him and supervised his investigation, he cannot publicly disparage those who have not been charged with a crime.


Rosenstein is emphatic on this point: “In fact, disclosing uncharged allegations against American citizens without a law-enforcement need is considered to be a violation of a prosecutor’s trust.”

Later in the letter, he makes it clear this standard applies to anybody under investigation, even public officials.

“No matter who an investigation involves — an ordinary citizen, a local or state politician, a campaign official, a foreign agent, an officer of the federal legislative, executive, or judicial branch — agents and prosecutors are obligated to protect its confidentiality.”

There’s bigger news in there as well that’s probably making collusion conspiracy pusher Adam Schiff pull his hair out.

REPORT: No More Indictments Coming in Robert Mueller Probe (AND Another Big Admission)

DOJ guidelines say that they can’t disparage or insinuate things about persons caught up in the investigation if they are not actually charged with a crime. This should have been common sense from the beginning as it’d be pretty tyrannical for government officials to be able to use taxpayer resources to politically attack someone while not actually proving wrongdoing.

The media and Democrats have been hoping that Mueller would act as their proxy, laying out a case for impeachment even if Trump is not actually charged with anything. To be sure, Mueller could just disobey protocol and run to CNN, but if he follows the rules, the Mueller Report is not going to be a tell-all on how awful Trump is or his decision making.

This has James Comey publicly encouraging Mueller to flout DOJ guidelines.

The interests of justice will also be best served by maximum transparency about the special counsel’s work. I don’t know all the considerations that will go into deciding precisely what to say about the completion of that work and when to say it. But because the Department of Justice is guided first and always by the public interest, it should provide details about finished investigations when the public needs to know them, as it traditionally has.

Translation: Go to the press and give “maximum transparency” by trashing Trump, all while flaunting the rules meant to protect innocent people from bureaucratic slander. I can’t imagine why anyone thinks Comey lacks integrity.

Rod Rosenstein has made it clear that Mueller is not to follow Comey’s lead, though. We’ll see what the report says, but signs are starting to point to a big letdown and that’s leading to lots of goalpost moving. If Mueller does the proper thing and limits his report to those who committed crimes and Russian actions, there will be a lot of sad faces in Washington and on cable news in the wake of this (see Brad Slager’s latest for current reaction).

No worries though, I’m sure it’ll take them about 30 seconds to shift the narrative and keep on attacking.

Let's have a show of hands on who believes this lying fuck.


Comey Pens Op-Ed About What He Wants From Mueller Report. Here's What He Had to Say.
|
Posted: Mar 22, 2019 8:30 AM
The New York Times Thursday explaining exactly what he hopes to see from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on attempted Russian interference in the 2016 election, which is expected in the coming days.

Comey said he is neither “rooting” for the report to show President Trump is a criminal or that he is cleared. Instead, he said he’s on the side of the rule of law.

justice with the required corrupt intent. I also don’t care. I care only that the work be done, well and completely. If it is, justice will have prevailed and core American values will have been p“I’m not rooting for anything at all, except that the special counsel be permitted to finish his work, charge whatever cases warrant charging and report on his work,” he wrote. “I have no idea whether the special counsel will conclude that Mr. Trump knowingly conspired with the Russians in connection with the 2016 election or that he obstructed rotected at a time when so much of our national leadership has abandoned its commitment to truth and the rule of law.”


Comey also expressed his hope that “Trump is not impeached and removed from office before the end of his term” because supporters of the president “would see this as a coup, and it would drive those people farther from the common center of American life, more deeply fracturing our country.”

Of course, Comey couldn’t conclude without taking a jab at the president, whom he refers to as a "chronic liar who repeatedly attacks the rule of law," telling fellow critics of Trump that it’s not impeachment they should hope for but his defeat at the ballot box in 2020.


“We need a resounding election result in 2020, where Americans of all stripes, divided as they may be about important policy issues … take a moment from their busy lives to show that they are united by something even more important: the belief that the president of the United States cannot be a chronic liar who repeatedly attacks the rule of law,” he said. “Then we can get back to policy disagreements.”
 
Pretty quiet in here, kind of like 11-9-2016.

I thought you people couldn't wait for this report?

Maybe it's not what you said it would be?

I don't know what's going to happen, but there is no reason to act like a bunch of
little bitches about it.

Hell, they are probably calling the FBI as we speak to go get the whole Trump family, full-auto weapons with CNN filming it.
