Media Failures

sunbeam December 23, 2019 Comments Off

Now that a little time has elapsed since IG Horowitz’s report was released, perhaps it would be a good time to review what the facts are versus the fiction that has emanated from various MSM sources regarding the FBI and their conduct in Spygate. Remember that the Democrats have had a death grip on news, entertainment and sports media. If the Dems say something, it is treated as a fact set in stone. You dare to disagree at risk to your own good name and health. By doing this, the Dems and their corrupt allies in the MSM have poisoned every aspect of American life.

As Jerome Corsi over at American Thinker notes,

Long gone is the Democratic Party of President John F. Kennedy, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Senators Scoop Jackson and Sam Nunn. It is now a party of hardcore leftists, more aligned with Karl Marx than Thomas Jefferson. They are now completely driven by extreme leftist ideology. Lacking evidence that President Trump committed any crime or even did anything morally wrong, they recklessly passed articles of impeachment, with no regard to the great damage they are doing to our Republic. The Democratic Party once had statesmen, but it is now the refuge of demagogues.

Impeachment Is A Cult

HPSCI ranking member Devin Nunes appears for an interview with Mike Huckabee on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) to discuss the impeachment dynamic. Huckabee’s questions were intelligent, well thought out and comprehensive.

Obstruction Is The End Goal

An item that has not received a lot of press lately is House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler’s attempt to unseal the grand jury testimony collected by the Special Counsel. The Special Counsel found no evidence of any crimes involving the reason for the existence of the Special Counsel. That is, there was no collusion between anyone in the Trump campaign and Russia or Russian actors. There was also no obstruction charged.

On the contrary, as is slowly being revealed in the General Michael Flynn case, there appears to be significant evidence of criminal wrongdoing within the Special Counsel’s staff. It appears that they tried to entrap Flynn and, when that failed, they doctored transcripts of his testimony to make it appear that he lied to Federal investigators. How far and how widespread this illicit conduct goes is unclear at this time. Sydney Powell, Flynn’s attorney, is apparently about to file a motion to dismiss the Flynn case “due to egregious misconduct” on the part of the government.

Kangaroo Court

Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) blasted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Sunday. Schiff held closed door meetings for the testimony of ICIG Atkinson and Envoy Volker last week. Then Schiff would not allow transcripts of their testimony to be made public. Why?

It has been reported from other sources, notably Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge, that ICIG Michael Atkinson testified that the so called ‘whistle-blower’ did not inform Atkinson that the whistleblower gossipmonger and his legal team had previously contacted staff working for Adam Schiff before he submitted his complaint.

When questioned on this earlier in the week, Schiff had denied that such contact took place. The Washington Post gave this claim a 4-Pinocchio’s rating. Later he reversed himself claiming that he “had misunderstood” the reporter’s question.

So, again, why are the transcripts being withheld? Ratcliffe said that he would love to tell you about both interviews (Volker and Atkinson). The problem? Schiff won’t allow it. Why? Ratcliffe noted,

Special Weekend Edition

More details have become available about the actions of Patrick Byrne, the CEO of Overstock who resigned yesterday. Byrne resigned for a number of reasons, not the least of which appears to be concerns for his personal safety after the “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein.

In all Byrne gave four interviews regarding his involvement on behalf of the FBI in what he is calling “political espionage”. His story is consistent across all four interviews.

In 2015, Patrick Byrne was approached by FBI officials. They wanted him to cultivate a relationship with one Maria Butina, a Russian national who is an accused Russian agent. This had occurred after he had picked up the phone and reported a contact with Butina as he was required to do so by law. Why? Because Byrne has a low-level security clearance.

Bombshell!

Yesterday Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com, resigned his position. Now CEO’s do leave their companies from time to time. However, few if any CEO’s have done so for the reasons Byrne put forth.

Byrne has led the company for 20 years. In 1999, Byrne was approached by the founder of D2-Discounts Direct with a request for operating capital. Byrne found the idea of online closeouts intriguing, and invested $7 million for a 60 percent equity stake in the company in the spring of 1999. In September the same year he took over as CEO, and the following month the company was renamed Overstock.com.

According to Patrick Byrne, due to earlier relationships with federal law enforcement (17 years ago…helped to snare the murderer of a friend and 12 years ago…helped with a Wall Street investigation), he was approached in/around 2015 to help out the FBI with another operation.

As he indicates, he felt there was something fishy about the operation. However, the people who approached him he felt were honorable. It was only several years later that he figured out where the orders had come from.

Byrne has Continue reading...

Winners and Losers

sunbeam July 26, 2019 Comments Off

The media likes to list winners and losers from every confrontation between the two main-stream political parties. The media’s views of these events often lean towards their own particular political ideologies.

Without a doubt the Republicans were the winners and the Democrats were the losers from the Mueller hearings on Wednesday. Even far left media outlets like CNN agreed. Chris Cillizza at CNN noted,

If Democrats hoped that Mueller would easily bat away Republican attacks — on him and on his report — they were sorely disappointed in the opening moments of his testimony. Mueller seemingly contradicted himself (and the report) when he told Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member on the committee, that collusion and conspiracy were not the same thing.

Mueller Bombs Out

sunbeam July 25, 2019 Comments Off

The circus was in town in Washington, but the clowns did not show up. In what was characterized by most media outlets including those friendly to the Democrats as a bad day, Robert Mueller came off as what we thought he was. A figurehead for the investigation. A public face who was supposed to bring credibility.

Mueller didn’t pick his team. The DOJ/FBI team was already carrying out the “insurance policy” when he arrived. They had come over from the bogus Crossfire Hurricane counter-intelligence investigation. Mueller was selected by them.

The coup plotters were behind the scenes trying to find something, anything that they could pin on the President. Trying to trap PDJT into an obstruction of justice charge was the principal activity of Mueller’s team. Mueller would have been the face of reason in presenting such evidence.

The Circus Comes To Town

sunbeam July 24, 2019 Comments Off

The circus returns to Washington. On Wednesday Robert Mueller is scheduled to appear before two House committees. Mueller is expected to testify for a total of five hours. It has long been speculated that if Mueller testified, he would not testify alone. On Tuesday it was announced that Aaron Zebly would join Mueller. Undoubtedly he will be there to “help” Mueller remember specific items in the report. It appears that Mueller was little more than a public figurehead. He probably does not know a lot about the actual formulation of the report bearing his name.

What is the Democrats’ purpose in heading down this path? Of course, the long term objective is to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States. They hope to do this via impeachment even though PDJT has done nothing wrong.

Impeachment is a political process. The Democrats know they cannot succeed with impeachment unless they can generate outrage. So outrage will be one of the objectives of this exercise. It will not be about educating the American public about impeachment as Speaker Pelosi has been peddling. And the Dems will hope for outrage on both sides of the aisle. They desperately need the smokescreen that outrage brings.

Another video has surfaced of Ellen Ratner saying that Julian Assange had told her in the Ecuadorian embassy that the DNC “hack” was actually an inside job. If it has not already happened, it is time for AG Barr and US Attorney Durham to sit down with Ellen Ratner and Julian Assange to find out how they know what they claim they know.
