The Times’ story fails to mention most of the underlying details involving McCabe.Continue Reading

Victoria Nuland’s name keeps turning up.

Nuland is the former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs – serving under John Kerry at Obama’s State Department

I’ve written about Nuland here and here.

It now appears that in mid-2016, Nuland gave the green light for FBI Agent Michael Gaeta to meet with Christopher Steele in London.Continue Reading

On February 4, 2018, Victoria Nuland, the Assistant Secretary of State in the Obama Administration went on Face the Nation and made the following comment:

During the Ukraine crisis in 2014-15, Chris Steele had a number of commercial clients who were asking him for reports on what was going on in Russia, what was going on in Ukraine, what was going on between them. Chris had a friend [Jonathan Winer] at the State Department and he offered us that reporting free so that we could also benefit from it. It was one of, you know, hundreds of sources that we were using to try to understand what was going on.

Then, in the middle of July, when he was doing this other work and became concerned, he passed two to four pages of short points of what he was finding and our immediate reaction to that was, this is not in our purview. This needs to go to the FBI if there is any concern here that one candidate or the election as a whole might be influenced by the Russian Federation. That’s something for the FBI to investigate.Continue Reading

The answer is simple.

The problem was the Grassley Memo.Continue Reading

President Trump has tweeted out a series of focused messages (located at bottom of post) over the last ten days ending with this:

Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!

President Trump has publicly castigated Sessions before.

But he has never, to my knowledge, mentioned the Inspector General.

Until now.Continue Reading

The worst kind of lies are the half-truths so often weaponized by the media.

A partial truth converted into propaganda by the omission of facts.

Kyle Griffin is a Producer at MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.

Today he tweeted out the following:Continue Reading

Following the release of the Democrat/Schiff Memo – along with the Nunes Rebuttal – Devin Nunes sat down with Matt Schlapp, Chair of the American Conservative Union, for a lengthy on-stage interview at the CPAC Conference.

The interview was refreshingly candid. Surprisingly so.

Nunes, who deservedly received the American Conservative Union’s Defender of Freedom Award, discussed his ongoing investigation, FISA abuse and politicization of the DOJ and FBI by the Obama Administration.Continue Reading
