It could be Judge Sullivan just doesn't like Mueller's notoriously abusive 'style', but it does raise the prospect Flynn's guilty plea might in due course be vacated (I've no doubt Flynn did not get all exculpatory evidence at the time he acknowledged failure to report Russian contacts and know he was not represented by counsel -didn't even know he was under criminal investigation when interviewed). I also know his interviewer (biased Strzok) declared he believed Flynn had answered honestly and not misrepresented facts.
Gee, what a surprise.....NOT! Still regurgitating alt right disinformation BS? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/power-line/
Very informative and interesting. Note that Strzok's boss, Comey, testified the same thing to congress.
Facts are facts, regardless of who puts them forward. Shifty Adam Schiff has gone to war on law enforcement in the formerly disapproved fashion. It is not reported this way in Kyle Cheney’s Politico article “Schiff complains FBI, Justice Department making too many demands on Russia memo,” but there it is. Schiff of course also attributes fault to President Trump, at whose behest the FBI and Department of Justice are said to be acting. It’s a twofer! For some reason, Schiff’s shocking disparagement of law enforcement goes unmentioned.
The Russians have gone to war against the FBI and law enforcement and you are their unwitting ally who is doing all the work for them by posting all this disinformation.
Mark Levin calls for elimination of FISA court, creation of alternative “It’s time to abolish the FISA court,” Levin said Thursday evening on Fox News. “It’s time to create a new counterintelligence-related court. It should not consist of existing federal judges," he added, before listing off other changes he would like to see. The FBI used information from the unverified “Trump dossier” written by former British spy Christopher Steele to obtain a warrant from the secret FISA court to put Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide, under surveillance. Levin demanded that Congress investigate whether the Justice Department and the FBI engaged in “misconduct” before the FISA court, partially because of the role the dossier played in the obtaining a surveillance warrant. Levin criticized the judges and said the his organization, the Landmark Legal Foundation, has urged FISA court Judge Rosemary Collyer to “do something” about “alleged abuses” from the Justice Department and the FBI. He also inquired whether the FBI notified her that the dossier had been authored by Steele and was part of opposition research partly funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Collyer reportedly said there is “no matter pending before the court with respect to which such an appearance would be proper” in response to Levin. "This FISA judge ... was misdirected," Levin said. "[Courts] have the power to reach back and hold people accountable [for contempt]." He said he was disheartened that FISA judges have been behaving “like they have no role” in the investigation. "Something smells like a rat," Levin said. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/m...court-creation-of-alternative/article/2650510
MYSTERY: Did Fusion GPS’s Nellie Ohr Evade NSA Surveillance With A Ham Radio? Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, was hired by Fusion GPS for the purpose of digging up dirt on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. One curious detail about Mrs. Ohr is that she obtained an amateur radio license on May 23rd, 2016. Was evading NSA surveillance the motivation behind obtaining the license? George Parry of The Federalist writes: Ohr is a member of Women in International Security, which describes itself as supporting “research projects and policy engagement initiatives on critical international security issues, including the nexus between gender and security.” She has done cybersecurity consulting for Accenture, a politically connected firm, for which she gave a presentation on “Ties Between Government Intelligence Services and Cyber Criminals – Closer Than You Think?” […] It is apparent that, between her own professional experience and her marriage to a top DOJ official, she was well aware of the ability of the National Security Agency to intercept and store every communication on the Internet. Did this knowledge have anything to do with her mid-life decision to become a ham radio operator and communicate outside cyberspace? […] On May 23, 2016, she received a technician-level amateur radio license. The timing is significant. The presidential campaign was underway and she and her employer, Fusion GPS, were digging for dirt in Russia to use against Trump. Given her cybersecurity knowledge, was Nellie Ohr hoping to use non-cyber short wave communications to hide her participation in that nefarious effort from the NSA? Recall that, in early 2016, NSA head Admiral Mike Rogers became aware of “ongoing” and “intentional” violations and abuse of FISA surveillance, which he subsequently exposed in testimony before Congress. Thereafter, pressure mounted within the Obama administration to fire him. Another unanswered question is did Fusion GPS use Mrs. Ohr to influence top government officials? If the answer is “no,” then why did the recently demoted Ohr hide his wife’s Fusion GPS compensation from ethics officials? http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...-nellie-ohr-evade-nsa-surveillance-ham-radio/
Mark Levin? Are you serious? That CONSPIRATORIAL RW Stooge is completely unworthy of being taken seriously. Mark Levin? Paging Bigfoot.
Of course. Levin worked in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and was a chief of staff for Attorney General Edwin Meese. He is president of the Landmark Legal Foundation. He has more brains in his little finger than you have in your entire family tree. “It’s time to abolish the FISA court,” Levin said Thursday evening on Fox News. “It’s time to create a new counterintelligence-related court. It should not consist of existing federal judges," You may like a crooked Administration illegally spying on US citizens, but the rest of us do not.
The report stated that there was absolutely no indication that the political views of the individuals had any impact on the decisions made. ALL those in our government have personal political views. Pretending that we should limit our government to those who have no political views is preposterous. I can't think of any personnel direction more profoundly silly.
It was more qualified than that. They wanted to differentiate themselves from the crazed madness of the Corrupt Obama Era when they were taking Hillary oppo dirt and making crazy claims about Trump, followed by illegal spying and so forth. Basically, unless they found a written confession, they would not conclude it. So we have a firm foundation on which to build the rest of this investigative effort. We want to ensure that no future corrupt Administration can misuse the power of the State against a political opponent like the scummy corrupt Obama Administration did. And the DOJ and FBI need a floor to ceiling house cleaning. Clearly the IG is a very cautious person, he has set the table and much more investigative and clean up work will continue. The text exchange between Page and her adulterous lover, top investigator Peter Strzok in which Page texts: "[Trump's] never going to become president, right? Right?!" and Strzok responds, "No. No, he won't. We'll stop it." This, as the IG writes, "is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate's electoral prospects." No kidding. The exchange is a revelation because, when congressional investigators finally managed to wrench these texts out of the clenched fist of the Corrupt Justice Department, Strzok's full response was redacted. It was only revealed in the IG's report. For what possible reason were these words blacked out other than an attempt at cover-up? There is no other plausible explanation. https://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/justice-leadership-is-not-coming-clean/ You know it, I know it, The American People Know It.
The question is the effect of bias which the IG said there was tons to go around. But he said he did not see any bias based on politicl leanings. What leanings do you suppose he saw? Against Muslims?? Against left handed batters??? Against NBAers under six feet????? What kind of bias do you suppose FBI executives have?
He basically wrote two reports, a body that hits like a baseball bat with a summary that is as timid as can be justified. The only person he completely unloads on is Comey, who is never going to return to power, as for everyone else, no matter who wins this fight, he isn't sideways with any of them, Not Trump, Mueller, Rosenstein, Yates or even Lynch. No matter who wins, the IG has made no enemies. Crooked Hillary set up her private server to dispense sell her office for donations where she raked hundreds of millions of dollars in emoluments from foreigners and foreign governments, money that was laundered through her Fake Charity. The FBI covered up her crime and schemed to spy on President Trump. "The communications show favoritism towards Hillary in the agents' personal views, but also in how various aspects of the investigation should be conducted. They also reveal a rancid contempt towards Donald Trump as well as Americans who support him," J. Christian Adams wrote. Among other things, they called 63 million Americans pieces of ****. The FBI is run by people who think they are above the law.
I might be odd, but the top FBI counter-intelligence agent writing that 'don't worry, Trump will be stopped' seems like political bias to me.
Oh it is, but the IG is not the final word on charging, The grand jury is. Clinton Got Breaks While Comey harmed Clinton with how he handled his public announcements about her case, the IG report paints an investigation that was overall quite favorable toward her and her associates. During the Robert Mueller investigation, the federal government has played hardball with Trump associates, ringing them up on false statement charges, raiding their offices, arresting them without warning, and encroaching on attorney-client relationships. For Clinton, a much different approach was taken. To take just one example, look at the case of Paul Combetta, an employee who handled the migration of Clinton’s email accounts across servers then later deleted the emails. Clinton probe members were sure he was lying about the deletion of the emails in violation of a congressional preservation order. In repeated interviews, he claimed he didn't delete her emails. The agents had an email where he talked about the "Hilary coverup operation." They decided that wasn’t a big deal. One agent said he believed Combetta should have been charged with "false statements for lying multiple times." But overall they decided it was just so confusing, that the failure to tell the truth was "largely due to a lack of sophistication and poor legal representation." They gave him immunity, and he started singing. He admitted deleting the emails "despite his awareness of Congress's preservation order and his understanding that the order meant that 'he should not disturb Clinton’s email data on the PRN server.'" Sounds nice. http://thefederalist.com/2018/06/15/11-quick-things-know-inspector-generals-report/ What she's referring to is that Hillary Clinton and her staff got an order from Congress to preserve all records, but Combatta deleted the emails anyway. And then lied about that, until the FBI helpfully gave him immunity for prosecution for defying a lawful order and for lying. And does this refer to further instances of the immunized-for-no-clear reason Combatta "lying his ass off"? Jordan Schachtel ✔@JordanSchachtel From IG report: Agent discusses interview with a witness who assisted the Clintons at their Chappaqua residence: FBI Employee: "how did the [witness] go” Agent: “Awesome. Lied his ass off." Agent: "Even if he said the truth ... aint noone gonna do ****” 1:12 PM - Jun 14, 2018
It says there were biased political views, but that it did not result in bias in carrying out the law. However, the IG raked Comey over the coals, as Comey DID demonstrate serious bias against Clinton.
Enough with the DOJ and FBI stonewalling to hide their felonies. Turn over ALL the requested documents. Inspector general’s report on FBI and Clinton’s emails shows secrecy threatens democracy.
