What’s going on? The Trump administration notes the return of competition between world powers. States with the ability to wield influence on a global scale are coming increasingly to prominence. America’s national security and national defense strategies need to reflect this new reality. China and Russia, both want to shape a world antithetical to U.S. … Read more
Christopher Steele may be getting too much credit for the debunked Dossier that bears his name. While he was clearly the individual, who collected the bits and pieces for which he was paid by the Clinton Campaign (through Fusion GPS) what if he is just the handler for Russian counter-intelligence?
When your only trick for two years is Hating Trump, and suddenly the collusion sleight of hand trick doesn’t fool anyone anymore what do you do? Cry, whine, complain, pretend nothing’s changed, try anything to get attention. And that’s the problem – since Sunday CNN and MSNBC have had a rating crash.
GraniteGrok.com can, on the whole, claim to have had better reporting on the Mueller investigation than most local and national news outlets. The Loony-Left’s claims that we peddle in dirt and lies is a sign the legacy media owns. Large Letters. Neon Light. Open Day and Night.
The Democrats are not the only ones who can’t let this ‘Collusion’ thing go. As Democrat-lead Congressional committees gear up for endless investigations of political opponents Republicans must feel left out. Rep. Devin Nunes is reportedly preparing criminal referrals to the DOJ for a number of Clinton-connected operatives.
We didn’t have to wait until 2020 to make Democrats cry again. The marathon Mueller investigation just did that. There is no evidence Mr. Trump or anyone in his campaign colluded or Russia during the election. President Trump will not be charged with obstruction.
As another battle rages over the President’s public remarks about Sen. John McCain, the Epoch Times has a devastating Report. The Steele Dossier has long been known to be opposition research paid for by the Clinton Campaign and the DNC. How the discredited hit piece spread so far and wide is no longer a matter of speculation.
The Russians must be stupid. They, at least according to a number of unreliable sources, “helped” Donald Trump win the election. So, what? So, he is damaging their economy. Mr. Trump has opposed Russian interests, none more than energy production. He just robbed them of their Gas contracts in Poland.
In communist countries, you do what the party leaders tell you or bad things happen. In America, if Democrats do not get what they want you could become enemy number one. And Democrats want something about which to talk. They need the Mueller Report. Or do they?
The Chinese have accomplished a lot. They stole all of Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s emails from her illegal server in real-time. They planted a spy next to Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein for decades. Some Chinese citizens sued Terry McAuliffe and Hillary’s brother Tony for fraud. And since Mr. Trump got elected, they’ve started to come … Read more
How fun is this. Democrats, you remember them? Russia used Facebook to “buy” the Election for Trump, yadda-yadda. It looks like they take lessons from their ideological brethren. While ranting about the Ruskies spending rubels on Facebook ads, the American Left was creating fake Russian accounts to influence the Alabama Senate Race.
The debunked Steele Dossier was the driving force behind the special counsel investigation into the Trump administration. Herr Mueller, for all his work, has a few process crimes and a lot of press but nothing relating to why he was appointed. So, is it a big deal that Clinton Family fixer Lanny Davis just hollowed out the dossier and left it to rot at the bottom of the Potomac?
Sessions departure was inevitable. In fact, we predicted it, mostly because mid-term changes are not unsusal and Sessions recusal from Mueller’s circus made him a liability. Fingering Sessions for a departure was like betting the odds that Democrats will try to raise your taxes. No-brainer. Matt Whitaker is the acting AG, and he thinks Mueller is on … Read more
From John Solomon at The Hill.com. Connections between Steele, his dossier, the Clinton campaign that paid for it, a Russian with ties to Putin, and a high-ranking Trump-hating DOJ official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS
(Russian Oligarch Oleg) Deripaska would get another visit from his FBI friends in New York. But this time the questions were about possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Specifically, the agents told Deripaska they believed Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was secretly coordinating the election with Moscow.
A lot of folks have been picking at the edges of this for a while, but the thing is starting to unravel. The FBI spy planted in the Trump campaign, Stefan Halper, has deep ties to Russia, the Clintons, Steele, and others. And he had a job to do.
(Adam Lovinger attorney Sean) Bigley suspects it was more than the Clinton-connected contracts adding, “Mr. Lovinger unwittingly shined a spotlight on the deep state’s secret weapon – Stefan Halper – and threatened to expose the truth about the Trump-Russia collusion narrative than being plotted: that it was all a set-up.”
Adam Lovinger questioned a one million dollar payout to Halper to ‘write papers’ for the Pentagon and for his curiosity got his clearance revoked.
Robert Mueller’s mandate as special prosecutor is to investigate and prosecute legitimate cases of “collusion” between ‘Russians’ and the Trump Campaign. He has been at it for a few years now and despite the occasional media-friendly announcements of charges or indictments ‘Mueller’ still has nothing.
How do we know this?
Not long ago, US Senator Jeanne Shaheen would barely open her mouth about anything in DC other than to announce how much free Federal money she could steer to our state. Suddenly, she is a foreign intelligence hound dog. Tax and Spend Jeanne wants the transcripts of President Trump’s private meeting with Putin.
President Trump excused from the meeting staff that would typically sit in on (but possibly leak) conversations from a private meeting with Mr. Putin. Trump did this so he could talk to Putin in confidence. Smart move now that we know our revered intelligence community elites tapped his communications.
Back in March, the House Intelligence Committee issued a “Report On Russian Active Measures,” to the intelligence community. Their findings were ignored or mocked by the media and Democrats. But as Mr. Trump was preparing to meet Mr. Putin, Bob Mueller publicly announced the indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officials. Big news claims the media and Democrats. Big news.
Except that it is based on a report the Republican Majority House Intelligence committee released back in March to boos and cat-calls from those applauding Mueller today.
From the “we’re already ignoring the Constitution” files, Minister of Mopery, Herr Mueller, has decided that he can indict people without having to provide evidence for the indictment to those he has charged.
Special counsel Robert Mueller and his deputy Rush Atkinson filed a 14-page motion Tuesday arguing that the government shouldn’t have to release certain evidence to indicted Russian company Concord Management and Consulting LLC due to ongoing “interference operations” against the United States.
But,
In the United States, criminal defendants are entitled–by virtue of an almost sacred right–to view the evidence used against them. This right undergirds the basic foundation of America’s adversarial legal system.
Remember when Obama assured us that Russia had promised that Syria’s chemical weapons were no more? They weren’t. Assad used them on his own people. Collusion! (That’s a Russsssia Joke, get it?)
But Syriaously, folks. Chemical weapons in Syria were this big deal. Chemical Weapons everywhere are a big deal but mostly in places where leaders-for-life and their strong-men like to dispose of them on the locals as a lesson. The Bamster told us about this Red Line thing (don’t you dare use chemical weapons), which Assad repeatedly crossed without consequence.
Well, not entirely.
