Above The Law

sunbeam June 7, 2019 Comments Off

Former Secretary of State and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton acted in support of the Democratic playbook on impeachment Monday. HRC posted on Twitter that the President is not above the law. The current Democratic strategy is to advance the storyline that PDJT acts as if he is above the law. This is supposed to plant in the public’s mind the false narrative that PDJT is routinely violating the law. No facts are ever given to support this fantasy.

AG Bill Barr Interviewed By CBS

sunbeam June 3, 2019 Comments Off

On Friday U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr had a 48-minute interview with Jan Crawford on CBS. The interview covered a variety of issues. There is much insight here into the ongoing “review” of prior DOJ and FBI conduct during the 2016 election. It included the “review” that AG Barr is conducting into the basis for the spying that was done on the Trump Campaign.

The entire interview can be heard here.

The section below concerns a bit of Barr’s background and also what the AG’s responsibilities to the people are. It also touches on what Barr’s basic concerns are regarding the “review.” One of the things that jumps out is that Barr believes that the AG’s office is responsible to protect the people’s rights. When was the last time we had an AG who believed that his office was there to protect the people’s rights from government abuse?

The Real Origins Of Spygate, Part 2

sunbeam May 31, 2019 Comments Off

In Part 1 a lot of different items were covered with regard to the biggest political scandal in the history of our country. There were intentional deceptions that may have put national security at risk. There were undercover operations that were designed to “dirty up” Trump campaign advisors. There were entrapment schemes to silence/control people who may have known something about what was going on. There was the Steele Dossier. There were FISA warrants issued based on unverified information. There is the Mueller report which intentionally misleads the public regarding the extent of Russia’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 election as well as who the Russians would have preferred to see as President. And as time goes on and more malfeasance is exposed, we will see even more corruption from inside the Obama administration.

However, none of this exposes the origins of the corruption inside the Obama administration. In fact, much of this serves as a smokescreen to divert the public’s attention. So, just where and when was the germination point for the beginnings of the corrupt activities?

Democrats Scramble

Now that declassification has been announced, what can be expected from the Democrats? Keep in mind that the potential legal exposure of members of the Obama administration is considerable. Already there is a scramble to deflect blame by some of the chief participants in the Russia narrative hoax.

Declassification Specs

sunbeam May 27, 2019 Comments Off

On Thursday night PDJT issued a memo which gave AG Barr specific powers and marching orders relating to declassifying matters relevant to the Russia investigation and its origins. What exactly is the authority that PDJT has delegated to AG Barr?

To understand this one first has to understand what the President’s authority is on classification and declassification. The President has the power to classify and declassify anything. This makes sense since he is the commander-in-chief. Independent experts as well as experts on both sides of the aisle agree concerning this legal power of the president. Whether such actions are wise or not is another story.

Normal classification and declassification duties are usually performed by people lower in the food chain so to speak. This is because they have been delegated to do so, usually by an appointee chosen by the President. These kinds of activities take place in many different departments within the federal government.

BOOM!!! Declassification Starts!

Friday will not be a slow news day this week. After two years of being on the defensive while the Deep State and its political allies attempted to undermine his presidency, attempted to oust him and attempted to cover up the illegal activities of the Obama administration (Not. One. Single. Whisper. Of. Scandal.), PDJT is striking back.

PDJT and his wife visited the graves of some of our country’s heroes in Arlington cemetery during the day on Thursday. President Trump paid his respects by placing American flags at several gravesites during an ear Continue reading...

EXPLOSIVE DAY!!!

sunbeam May 17, 2019 Comments Off

Thursday was an interesting day. Over in Italy it is reported that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conté has requested the resignations of six top Italian intelligence officials. The resignation requests are being interpreted as a reaction to the possible exposing of collusion with U.S. intelligence officials during the 2016 U.S. election in the operation now known as “Spygate.”

Keep in mind that Conté is the head of a new government, one that was not in place in 2016. Also keep in mind that Joseph Mifsud, who had largely disappeared from public view, had been found in Rome. Mifsud is closely linked to George Papadopoulos and the “Spygate” schemes that were hatched overseas.

Entrapment

sunbeam May 15, 2019 Comments Off

An interesting article appeared a few days ago over at CTH. In it Sundance, with the help of some individuals who did a deep dive into some recently released FOIA material, exposes more corruption in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The article documents an entrapment scheme on George Papadopoulos run by the SC’s office.

Key takeaways from this article are:

The SC investigation was corrupt at its highest levels
FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act) violations were the common source of trying to get leverage over targets of the investigation.
Manufacturing criminal conduct was a tool in the SC’s toolbox.
It may be that Andrew Weissmann was more in charge of the investigation than Robert Mueller was.

FBI Fantasies

sunbeam May 14, 2019 Comments Off

Eric Felten over at Real Clear Investigations has written a piece that provides a clear insight into the mindsets and attitudes of those who were running theFBI and DOJ departments during the Obama administration.

AG Barr has started to investigate spying. However, as Felten points out, spying is just one of possible multiple violations of investigative rules and ethics committed by agents, lawyers, managers, and officials at the FBI and the DOJ.

For three years (2016-2018), Bill Priestap was assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, which meant he oversaw the FBI’s global counterintelligence efforts.

Felten takes a deep dive into the testimony that Priestap provided to Congress in a closed-door interview in the summer of 2018. Priestap’s testimony provides a “rare insight into the attitudes and thoughts of officials who launched the Russia probe and the probe of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.”

Enough Is Enough

Two years of innuendo, leaks, “bombshell” announcements, etc. The Deep State led by Democratic operatives has tried to make it clear that they are in charge in this country. They have tried to send a message that anyone who stands in their way is a target. They will smear them, bankrupt them, run them out of restaurants, shoot them on a ball field, etc.

During the Mueller investigation PDJT gave the investigation unprecedented access to White House advisers and staff. Transparency was the norm not an exception. This was a far cry from the Obama administration that blocked investigations at every turn.

In the end the Special Counsel (SC) declined to pursue charges against any American for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 election. However, he failed in his duty to decide on the question of “obstruction.” Although the investigation was not impeded in any way, although no criminal conduct was uncovered, Mueller could not make the binary decision of “Yes PDJT obstructed” or “No PDJT Did Not.” (See Emmett Flood letter). The report is legally defective. So the AG and Deputy AG Rosenstein reviewed the SC info and made that determination. No obstruction.
