EXPLOSIVE DAY!!!
Comments Off on EXPLOSIVE DAY!!!
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.

Governor Matt Bevin of Kentucky responds to a question implying that his position on the value of children’s lives and gun control are hypocritical. The questioner was referring to the Parkland HS shooting.
His response hits the nail on the head about the problems existing in this country around the value of life. He accurately points out that reducing media coverage is part of the response needed to help the situation. Governor Bevin calls out the idea that a single law or rule as a solution as “naïve and delusional.”
Entrapment
Comments Off on Entrapment
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

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.”
Spying On A President Is Normal
Are the Democrats trying to convince the public that spying on a presidential campaign is routine? Are they doing this because they know that damning information is going to be released in the near future about the spying that the Obama administration did on opposition candidates? That such spying may go all the way back to 2012?
Are the Democrats so deranged that they are trying to make it seem like it is normal to do this, that it is no big deal? And that the public should just go about their business because there is nothing to be seen here?

When PDJT first entered the Republican Party’s primary he had no political experience to speak of. PDJT won the White House for a lot of reasons, but one of the major ones was the ability to easily identify what he stood for.
His campaign slogan was beautifully simple: “Make America Great Again.” It’s not overly profound, it’s easy to say, and it feels familiar. The slogan practically marketed itself.
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.
Barr Cited For Refusing To Break Law

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) outlines the political motives of Jerry Nadler (Chair-House Judiciary Committee) and his fellow Democrats in moving to cite AG Barr for contempt of Congress. As Jordan states forcefully, Barr was being cited because he refused to break the law.
Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Comments Off on Guilty Until Proven Innocent
In America a person is presumed innocent until the prosecution can convince a judge or jury that that person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors do not “prove people innocent.” They do not exonerate them. Prosecutors either present evidence to a grand jury for indictments or they decline to do so. They either charge a person or they don’t. It is a binary decision that they must make. If they decline to charge, the individual is innocent as a matter of law.
SC Mueller did not make the binary decision he was charged with making. He did not do what the SC regulations required him to do.
Emmett Flood, White House Counsel, has taken the time to point out the defects in the Special Counsel’s Report in a letter to the DOJ.
Flood stated,
