Brennan threatens GOPs

Yesterday President Trump sent a tweet stating the intention of ask DOJ to investigate the spy in his campaign.
DAG Rosenstein answered suspiciously promptly that an investigation is going to happen.

Today, John Brennan spewed his regular doom and gloom:

‘Senator McConnell and Speaker Ryan: If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation and the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trump’s self-serving actions.’

Question is: what is he scared for?

First of all, it is ‘President’ Trump, not ‘Mr.’ Trump. Funny how the old guard of the previous administration refers to Obama as President Obama, while President Trump is only Mr. Trump.
Moving on from this, Brennan failed to explain how President’s Trump actions are self-serving?
Is it because he is fighting back the witch hunt?
It is pretty much accepted and recognized by the leftist media NYT and WaPO, that there WAS a spy (probably more then one) in his campaign.
Is it no normal then that under such circumstances an investigator must be involved to clarify the wrong doing? Is it not his right to know if and who was the spy?

Occam’s Rezor would tell that chances are that the previous administration (including Brennan and Clapper) are very much involved and they are doing damage control right now.

Only an imbecile would think that P44 was not implicated directly in what happened.
Either that or he was entirely stupid and oblivious to what was happening around him.
That he was oblivious is almost impossible taking into account the President Daily Breafing he was presented with.

On Monday morning, President Trump took to Twitter to respond:

“ ‘John Brennan is panicking. He has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Country, he has disgraced the entire Intelligence Community. He is the one man who is largely responsible for the destruction of American’s faith in the Intelligence Community and in some people at the… top of the FBI. Brennan started this entire debacle about President Trump. We now know that Brennan had detailed knowledge of the (phony) Dossier… he knows about the Dossier, he denies knowledge of the Dossier, he briefs the Gang of 8 on the Hill about the Dossier, which…. …they then used to start an investigation about Trump. It is that simple. This guy is the genesis of this whole Debacle. This was a Political hit job, this was not an Intelligence Investigation. Brennan has disgraced himself, he’s worried about staying out of Jail.”’ Dan Bongino.”

President Trump to ask DOJ to investigate if there was a spy in the campaign

It looks like President Trump was quite angry today, and for good reasons.
He stated in one of the Tweets that he will demand that DOJ to look into wheather or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for political purposes.

It would be interesting to see how DOJ will investigate DOJ basically?
Considering that it’s about the campaign, chances are the AG Sessions will stay ‘recused’ from the investigation, leaving it to Deputy AG Rosenstein to clear it out. How is that going to happen taking into account the alleged implications of AG Rosenstein into the whole current mess or the continuous stone walling coming from DOJ?

I know that AG Sessions only recused himself from an investigation in to “Russian meddling”. If the FBI and Obama’s Justice Dept planted a spy in the Trump campaign that has nothing to do with Russia, Sessions should now put on his big boy pants and get involved to move this along before the November election.
However, if everything was put in motion based on the narative that there was a ‘possible collusion’ it would be about Russia, therefore Sessions will stay recused.

President Trump carried on with more angry Tweets

And here comes nothing via Washington Examiner:

Rod Rosenstein asks DOJ inspector general to review possible Trump campaign infiltration
By Steven Nelson, the Washington Examiner

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein asked the Justice Department’s inspector general Sunday to review whether there was improper politically motivated surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.

Rosenstein made the request shortly after a tweet from President Trump saying that he would “officially” ask “that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes.”

In a statement, Rosenstein said: “If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action.”

Was Stefan Halper the spy in Trump’s campaign?

Who was the real spy on Trump’s campaign? Or how many of them? The name of Stefan Halper has been thrown around by publications like New York Times, which makes it at least suspicious. Likewise Carter Page or Papadopoulos who seem to be more like patsies then real players.

It looks more and more like a coup set in motion by the previous administration, with P44’s blessing. His FBI/CIA and DOJ used the anti-Brexit British Elite including British Intelligence( MI6) to infiltrate an opposition candidate’s campaign, name-dropped Russia with the implication of collusion, used this as evidence to fabricate a Russian-based Steele Dossier (MI6 probably) and the rest is history.

Following is an interesting summary of tweets from Rising Serpent:

Iran and the bribing of Western officials

President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran ‘deal’ triggered a furious response from the Iranian officials.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari warned Western officials this week that if they do not put pressure on the Trump administration the Iranian regime will leak the names of all Western officials who were bribed to pass the weak deal.

We could only speculate who are the European officials considering that Europe has the most to gain from an Iran deal.
However, we know who are the USA Democratic senators who voted ‘Yes’ to the deal.
This is the list, according to the Wall Stree Journal:

Stabenow, Debbie Democrat MI Yes
Baldwin, Tammy Democrat WI Yes
Bennet, Michael Democrat CO Yes
Blumenthal, Richard Democrat CT Yes
Booker, Cory Democrat NJ Yes
Boxer, Barbara Democrat CA Yes
Brown, Sherrod Democrat OH Yes
Cantwell, Maria Democrat WA Yes
Carper, Tom Democrat DE Yes
Casey, Robert Democrat PA Yes
Coons, Chris Democrat DE Yes
Donnelly, Joe Democrat IN Yes
Durbin, Richard Democrat IL Yes
Feinstein, Dianne Democrat CA Yes
Franken, Al Democrat MN Yes
Gillibrand, Kirsten Democrat NY Yes
Heinrich, Martin Democrat NM Yes
Heitkamp, Heidi Democrat ND Yes
Hirono, Mazie Democrat HI Yes
Kaine, Tim Democrat VA Yes
King, Angus Independent ME Yes
Klobuchar, Amy Democrat MN Yes
Leahy, Patrick Democrat VT Yes
Markey, Ed Democrat MA Yes
McCaskill, Claire Democrat MO Yes
Merkley, Jeff Democrat OR Yes
Mikulski, Barbara Democrat MD Yes
Murphy, Chris Democrat CT Yes
Murray, Patty Democrat WA Yes
Nelson, Bill Democrat FL Yes
Peters, Gary Democrat MI Yes
Reed, Jack Democrat RI Yes
Reid, Harry Democrat NV Yes
Sanders, Bernie Independent VT Yes
Schatz, Brian Democrat HI Yes
Shaheen, Jeanne Democrat NH Yes
Tester, Jon Democrat MT Yes
Udall, Tom Democrat NM Yes
Warner, Mark Democrat VA Yes
Warren, Elizabeth Democrat MA Yes
Whitehouse, Sheldon Democrat RI Yes
Wyden, Ron Democrat OR Yes

A quick look at the list, and you are going to find the names of the obnoxious Democratic senators giving lots of headaches to the current administration of President Trump.

Unfortunately for the current admnistration, P44 knew how to surround himself with loyal minions.

Look no further than Jon Tester, the idiot who had no problems spreading rumours with the end results of Dr. Ronny Jackson losing nomination for secretary of Veterans Affairs, or commie Bernie Sanders, who keeps his dirty fingers in every pie.
Along comes the perv Al Franken, the weasel Richard Blumenthal (HR Clinton’s close friend), the horrible two faced idiot Cory Booker, the senile duo Feinstein – McCaskill and the fake Indian Elizabeth Warren.
What a gang of disgusting human beings!

USA v. Manafort in front of Judge Ellis

May 4 transcript from the USA v. Manafort hearing in front of Judge Ellis.

Source: TechnoFog

?

Judge Ellis immediately lays out his understanding of the Manafort case: The criminal indictment relates back to 2005, 2007, etc., that the DOJ investigation of Manafort had been going on for years.

The Special Counsel (SC) concedes that fact.

Judge: When SC was appointed, did DOJ turn over their Manafort file to you?

Special Counsel: [Evades]

Judge: “I’m sorry. Answer my question.”

Judge Ellis:

“If I look at the indictment, none of that information has anything to do with links or coordination between the Russian gov’t and individuals associated with the campaign of Donald Trump.”

Judge Ellis recognizes what this is: an attempt by Mueller to squeeze Manafort. He likens the whole thing to a small-time drug dealer getting pinched.

“I think we out to be very clear about these facts and what is happening.”

The Judge lays out his correct observation that this case is all about leverage
against Manafort.

He asks the Special Counsel if that assessment is wrong.

The Special Counsel refuses to answer the question. Twice.

Judge: How does the 2005/2007 bank fraud have anything to do with coordination b/w the Russians and the Trump campaign?

Special Counse: [More evasion]

Judge: “You’re running away from my question again.”

Important exchange here.

SC explains to the Judge that the indictments are w/in the scope of the SC appointment: leads from the prior DOJ case eventually contributed to and led to the indictment.

The Judge isn’t convinced.

SC: If the investigation is valid, the crimes that arose from that investigation are w/in the SC’s authority to prosecute.

Judge: “Even though it didn’t arise from your investigation. It arose from a preexisting investigation.”

lol.

An amazingly arrogant sequence here by team Mueller.

The SC is basically telling the Judge that grants of authority to the Special Counsel cannot be challenged through the courts.

Not “judicially enforceable.”

That is what elicited Judge Ellis’s response that we don’t want “unfettered power.”

Judge Ellis continues, saying he’s not going to be persuaded that Mueller has “unlimited powers to do anything” Mueller wants.

Here, Judge Ellis is requesting the full August 2 Rosenstein memo.

Important Q: What if the memo proves right Judge Ellis’s suspicions about the SC being a means to impeachment?

Eventually the SC sits down and it’s Manafort’s lawyer’s turn.

Judge Ellis to Manafort’s lawyer: Does the 8/2 memo remedy any issue with Mueller’s jurisdiction?

Manafort’s lawyer: No. It can’t retroactively be remedied.

Judge: Isn’t the right result to give the case back to the EDVA USAO?

Manafort lawyer: No – Mueller had no authority to conduct a grand jury investigation, to get search warrants, to get the indictment.

[Personal note: I just don’t see the judge going that far.]

It’s time to start punching back: Manafort’s lawyer almost accuses the SC of lying to the court about whether the indictment “arose from” the SC investigation.

The SC’s arguments are “absolutely erroneous.”

This statement by the SC proves that Rosenstein has hid the true scope of the Mueller probe – and how it has expanded/shifted – from the public.

And here we go: Judge Ellis gets after the SC for trying to have it both ways.

The result – “Come on, man”

Important. Judge Ellis explains the Mueller’s end game:

“You really care about what information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump or lead to his prosecution or impeachment or whatever. That’s what you’re really interested in.”

After going through all that, they get back to the real issue: Are the Rosenstein memos from May 2017 and August 2017 sufficient to confer jurisdiction to the Special Counsel?

Judge Ellis contemplating why the Manafort case couldn’t be sent to the EDVA USAO office by referencing the Michael Cohen case:

“Wasn’t there a matter in NY recently that the special counsel returned to the Southern District of New York?”

Judge Ellis poses a question (a Q to which he will later provided an answer), asking why the Cohen was referred to the SDNY.

Special Counsel “not at liberty” to answer that question….

However, the Judge has his own theory:

Did the SC farm out the Cohen case because it wasn’t within the SC’s jurisidction, or….

Did it have SDNY handle the Cohen case because they “can’t use this to further [the Special Counsel’s] core effort, which is to get to Trump”

The SC’s explanation as to why the Cohen case is different from the Manafort case isn’t convincing.

Judge Ellis then tells the SC that the indictment does not mention:

(1) Russian individuals
(2) Russian banks
(3) Russian money
(4) Russian payments to Manafort

The SC concedes that fact.

The hearing closed with a request from Manafort’s lawyer that internal DOJ memos regarding the appointment and scope of the Special Counsel’s authority/jurisdiction be produced.

Apparently, rat-faced Rosenstein loves memos.

The judge took that under advisement.
