WOW: Obama official who told MSNBC they had goods on collusion admitted under OATH she LIED, had NOTHING

Remember Obama administration official Evelyn Farkas ?
She was an American national security advisor , who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia , Ukraine , and Eurasia .
She ’ s currently running for a House seat in NY-17 and was just endorsed by Emily ’ s List .
She also lied about the Obama administration having dirt on collusion between Trump and Russia .
In a 2017 interview on MSNBC , she made HUGE waves .
And there was a lot in it .
“ I was urging my former colleagues , and frankly speaking the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more actually aimed at telling the Hill people , get as much information as you can , get as much intelligence as you can , before President Obama leaves the administration , ” Farkas , who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council , said .
“ Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [ Obama ] people who left , so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy … that the Trump folks – if they found out how we knew what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staff dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods , meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.
” “ what we knew ” she lied .
About “ the Trump staff dealing with Russians ” she lied .
The transcripts released this week reveal that she testified under oath that this was a lie .
This one too : MR. ROONEY : That doesn ’ t bother me .
But what bothers me is that you felt like you had information that was of potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impoortant to come to Congress than i twould be to the FBI ?
Did you go to the FBI with this information ?
MS. FARKS : I– well , I had no information .
But these two are definitely the winner winner chicken dinner : MR. GOWDY : Why don ’ t we go back to that sentence that I just asked you about .

MR. GOWDY : Then How did you know ?

MR. GOWDY : Well , then why would you say , we knew ?

MR. GOWDY : Well , you just spoke twice .
Dr. Farksas .
You said , we knew what we knew .
MR. GOWDY : You also didn ’ t know whether or not anybody in the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia , did you ?
MS. FARKAS : I didn ’ t .
MR. GOWDY : Well then why did you say what you said ?
MS. FARKAS : Because I had a strong suspicion .
MR. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FARKAS : Based on the media reports– THE MEDIA REPORTS .
You know like the media reports that the Obama administration definitely had the goods on collusion .
Which they based on comments from … People like FARKAS !

The best part of the transcript overall was when Gowdy said to Farkas , “ So when you say ‘ knew , ’ what you really meant was felt ?

Looky looky:

MS. FARKAS: No.
This one too:
MR. ROONEY: That doesn’t bother me. But what bothers me is that you felt like you had information that was of potential criminal nature, why is it more impoortant to come to Congress than i twould be to the FBI? Did you go to the FBI with this information?

But these two are definitely the winner winner chicken dinner:
MR. GOWDY: Why don’t we go back to that sentence that I just asked you about. It says, the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about their staff dealing with Russians. And your testimony was, we, was the U.S. Government.

MR. GOWDY: We knew what we knew.
MS. FARKAS: Right. So obviously I misspoke, because I wasn’t we anymore.

Circular. Self-referential. Fabricated. Fiction.
The best part of the transcript overall was when Gowdy said to Farkas, “So when you say ‘knew,’ what you really meant was felt?”
Farkas had to reply, “correct.”
“You didn’t know anything?” asked Gowdy driving the knife.
“That’s correct,” said the debunked loser.

“ No wonder Obama & MSM trying hard to cover it up.

In a three part thread , Cruz gets right to the brass tacks .

Instead they noted he couldn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure and even conceded it was possible.
” He also posts an excerpt which contains a DIRECT QUOTE from the interview memo .
That means absent spin , absent anyone ’ s take , an exact quote .
And that quote reads “ FLYNN stated it was possible that he talked to KISLYAK on the issue , but if he did , he did not remember doing so.
’ “ That ’ s NOT remotely perjury , ” said Cruz in the final tweet .
“ This was a partisan charade from outset @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He ’ s right , you know .

The official Department of Justice Twitter account for Attorney General Bill Barr spokesman Kerri Kupec not only called out NBC’s Chuck Todd for a deceptively edited clip of the AG, but retweeted others doing the same. He made an airtight, devastating case.
Without hair-on-fire griping, he calmly dismantled Todd’s ‘Meet the Press’ fake news, simply saying he was “very disappointed” and allowing the facts (and retweets) of Todd’s own words shred him. The video is below (after the spox’s tweets) in a share from Daily Caller’s Greg Price that was retweeted by Kupec.
Very disappointed by the deceptive editing/commentary by @ChuckTodd on @MeetThePress on AG Barr’s CBS interview. Compare the two transcripts below. Not only did the AG make the case in the VERY answer Chuck says he didn’t, he also did so multiple times throughout the interview. pic.twitter.com/PR1ciceMmE — KerriKupecDOJ (@KerriKupecDOJ) May 10, 2020
Also, no mention by Todd that the AG spent a large portion of the CBS interview explaining the legal reasoning supporting the request for dismissal. The full transcript has been available on CBS’ website since Thursday night, including the answer NBC aired in its edited form. https://t.co/R1c4HEcZi9 — KerriKupecDOJ (@KerriKupecDOJ) May 10, 2020
Today on Meet The Press, @chucktodd wildly took context out of an answer AG Bill Barr gave about his decision to drop the case into Gen. Michael Flynn. I cut Todd's segment along with Barr's full answer together. Look at how blatantly dishonest this is. pic.twitter.com/tODOEwL48V — Greg Price (@greg_price11) May 10, 2020
This is what they do. And Chuck Todd especially.
UPDATE:
You’re correct. Earlier today, we inadvertently and inaccurately cut short a video clip of an interview with AG Barr before offering commentary and analysis. The remaining clip included important remarks from the attorney general that we missed, and we regret the error. — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) May 10, 2020

The Democratic governor of Pennsylvania is striking with an iron fist today, warning counties how disobey his coronavirus orders that he’ll withhold federal funding from them, even the CARES Act funding:
WASHINGTON TIMES – Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf sought Monday to head off a growing revolt against his cautious coronavirus restrictions, threatening to withhold funding from counties and licenses from businesses that seek to reopen ahead of his timetable.
Mr. Wolf, a Democrat who also has feuded with the Republican legislature over the state’s COVID-19 response, warned “cowardly” and “selfish” politicians that the state would withhold discretionary state and federal CARES Act funding to counties that fail to follow his executive orders.
“To those politicians who decide to cave in to this coronavirus, they need to understand the consequences of their cowardly act,” Mr. Wolf said. “The funding we have put aside to help with fighting this crisis will go to the folks who are doing their part, and that includes our CARES Act funding, which will be used to support counties that are following the orders to prevent the spread.”
He added: “However, other discretionary funding won’t go to counties that put us all at risk by operating illegally.”
His stern warning came with a half-dozen Republican-led counties moving to take unilateral action to hasten their reopening, backed by sheriffs and district attorneys who have said that they will refuse to penalize or prosecute local businesses that leapfrog ahead of schedule.
“Enough is enough,” Jeff Haste, chairman of the Dauphin County Board of Commissioners, said Friday in a social media post. “It is time to reopen the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and return our state to the people (as prescribed by our Constitution) and not run it as a dictatorship.”

No , he pronounces Trump guilty of racism based on this ‘ pattern ’ he sees with women and minority reporters , calling it ‘ deeply deeply disturbing ’ .
I ’ ll tell you what is deeply disturbing .
It ’ s the garbage journalism over at CNN and other MSM outlets where they can ’ t see what ’ s staring them in the face .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wasn ’ t about racism .
It ’ s the fact that China is where all of this started and yet reporters like Weija Jiang question Trump as though he were the one who set the virus free in the first place .
She accused him of gloating about America being the pinnacle of testing while people were dying , suggesting that it wasn ’ t important or that it didn ’ t ‘ matter ’ .

Testing is what people want , it ’ s what people are demanding .
Yet the media treat him like he ’ s a horrible person who only cares about himself and his politics .
It ’ s absolutely pathetic .

The garbage media at CNN is accusing Trump of racism over his comments to CBS reporter Weijia Jiang, refusing to even give him any benefit of the doubt because of his ‘history’ or something:

Blitzer plays only part of the question in the video from Jiang, neuter it to sound less offensive. Her question, as I transcribed it from the earlier post was: “You’ve said many times that the US is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing. Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we’re still seeing more cases every day.”
Blitzer praises Jiang’s question as ‘reasonable’ and later as ‘totally, totally fair’. Helter Stelter then chimes after the exchange was over saying the exchange had “racial overtones”, noting “it is racist to look at an Asian-American White House correspondent and say “ask China””.
Stelter then claims this is part of a pattern of behavior from Trump and that he doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt, as though this were the first time he’d ever said this to a reporter. No, he pronounces Trump guilty of racism based on this ‘pattern’ he sees with women and minority reporters, calling it ‘deeply deeply disturbing’.
I’ll tell you what is deeply disturbing. It’s the garbage journalism over at CNN and other MSM outlets where they can’t see what’s staring them in the face. It’s not racism. What Trump said wasn’t about racism. It’s the fact that China is where all of this started and yet reporters like Weija Jiang question Trump as though he were the one who set the virus free in the first place. She accused him of gloating about America being the pinnacle of testing while people were dying, suggesting that it wasn’t important or that it didn’t ‘matter’. This while Trump is doing everything he can to fight this disease to save lives and get the economy back going again, with testing being one of the big things he’s been trying to fix. Testing is what people want, it’s what people are demanding. Yet the media treat him like he’s a horrible person who only cares about himself and his politics. It’s absolutely pathetic.

WATCH: CBS News reporter accuses Trump of gloating about testing while people are dying, but Trump turns it right back on her!

Trump got some nasty questions today , one of which came from CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang , essentially accusing the president of gloating about America ’ s testing , as if it ’ s a competition , while people are dying .
But Trump turned it right back around on her : JIANG : You ’ ve said many times that the US is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing .
Why does that matter ?
Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases every day .
TRUMP : We ’ ll they ’ re losing their lives everywhere in the world , and maybe that ’ s a question you should ask China !
Don ’ t ask me , ask China that question ok ?
When you ask them that question you may get a very unusual answer .
JIANG : Sir why are you saying that to me , specifically ?
TRUMP : I ’ m telling you .
I ’ m not saying it specifically to anybody .
I ’ m saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nasty question like that .
You see what Jiang tried to do there ?
She tried to make it about racism because she was originally born in China , asking why Trump said that specifically to her .
As if Trump is supposed to know where she ’ s from ?
He told HER to ask China because SHE asked the question , and it was one that Trump clearly took offense at .
But watch the media take her side and claim racism or something .
If you kept watching the video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on CNN ’ s Kaitlin Collins but then not allow her to answer the question .
But if you look closely , when Trump called on her she said to Jiang “ do you want to follow up ?
” and that ’ s when Jiang started with the racism crap .
After responding to Jiang again , Trump then looked at Collins and said “ please go ahead.
” Collins just stood there , so Trump pointed someone else out .
Then Collins ran up to the mic but Trump had already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ask her question , Trump was having none of it and ended the press conference rather than keep fighting .

Trump got some nasty questions today, one of which came from CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang, essentially accusing the president of gloating about America’s testing, as if it’s a competition, while people are dying. But Trump turned it right back around on her:

Almost 2,000 former DOJ officials attack AG Barr, accuse him of “assaulting the rule of law” in Flynn case

A group of almost 2,000 former DOJ officials are attacking AG Barr in a new letter they all signed , accusing him of “ assaulting the rule of law ” and “ political interference ” in dropping the case against Michael Flynn : ABC NEWS – Nearly 2000 former Justice Department officials have signed onto a letter calling for Attorney General William Barr to resign over what they describe as his improper intervention in the criminal case of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn .
The letter , signed mostly by former career officials in the department , accuses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ political interference in the Department ’ s law enforcement decisions.
” “ Attorney General Barr ’ s repeated actions to use the Department as a tool to further President Trump ’ s personal and political interests have undermined any claim to the deference that courts usually apply to the Department ’ s decisions about whether or not to prosecute a case , ” reads the letter , which was organized by the group ‘ Protect Democracy ’ .
What ’ s interesting is in their tweet about this , ABC News made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials : Why did they leave out ‘ former ’ ?
I guess they like to ‘ bait and switch ’ their readers .
Secondly , and more importantly , I am glad that ABC News mentioned that “ Protect Democracy ” is the group that organized this letter .
But what they don ’ t tell you is the most important thing about this group , which is critically important in understanding the motivation behind this letter : They are an anti-Trump hack political group created to oppose Trump .
Influence Watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ litigation and advocacy organization created to oppose the policies of President Donald Trump.
” Politico writes about the group , saying “ Top lawyers who helped the Obama White House craft and hold to rules of conduct believe President Donald Trump and his staff will break ethics norms meant to guard against politicization of the government — and they ’ ve formed a new group to prepare , and fight.
” They wrote this in February of 2017 , barely a month after Trump took office .
Why wouldn ’ t ABC News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t want their readers to know the truth , that what happened to Michael Flynn was atrocious and AG Barr did the right thing in closing the case .

A group of almost 2,000 former DOJ officials are attacking AG Barr in a new letter they all signed, accusing him of “assaulting the rule of law” and “political interference” in dropping the case against Michael Flynn:
ABC NEWS – Nearly 2000 former Justice Department officials have signed onto a letter calling for Attorney General William Barr to resign over what they describe as his improper intervention in the criminal case of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

What’s interesting is in their tweet about this, ABC News made it sounds like these were current DOJ officials:

therightscoop--2020-05-11--Politico pens tutorial on how House Democrats should go after Trump’s taxes…

Politico has penned a new article explaining how House Democrats should go about getting Trump ’ s taxes , since all roads thus far have failed .
They begin by explaining that Mnuchin was found not to have “ violated department procedures when he refused to provide House lawmakers with Trump ’ s tax records ” by Deputy Inspector General Richard K. Delmar .
Then they explain how a long forgotten statute is the answer : This unassuming statute , buried four paragraphs under the heading “ Reports ” in 31 U.S.C .
§ 331 ( d ) , requires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Senate with any information they request .
It reads : “ The [ Treasury ] Secretary shall report to either House of Congress in person or in writing , as required , on matters referred to the Secretary by that House of Congress.
” By law , therefore , the House could order Mnuchin to investigate and report ( in person , no less ) on the president ’ s taxes , and he would have to obey .
The statute has sweeping implications for our modern understanding of separation of powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chamber of Congress relative to the president .
For one , the statute is constitutional .
The Supreme Court has said that existing laws originally passed by Congress in 1789 , the same year the Constitution went into effect , must be interpreted today as Congress interpreted them immediately after passage—that those laws are de facto constitutional unless specifically found otherwise .
This statute , which has been used often throughout U.S. history , has always been followed by the executive branch and , accordingly , never been challenged in court .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s OLC memo .
The memo , which contends Congress doesn ’ t have the authority to compel the executive branch to supply information , reasoned by analogy from a handful of modern Supreme Court decisions on separation of powers .
But the “ duty to report ” provision predates those decisions by more than a century , calling into question not only the memo but also the assumptions underlying those Supreme Court opinions .
So Politico ’ s answer is that House Democrats should invoke this statute and command Mnuchin to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah , like that ’ s going to work .
LOL !
Politico notes that there ’ s no guarantee , however if the statute is invoked they believe it ’ s a way to use Trump ’ s Supreme Court nominees against him : Of course , none of this means that House Democrats are guaranteed to obtain Trump ’ s tax returns if they use this forgotten statute .
Mnuchin may choose to violate the law and ignore the House ’ s request or produce a less-than-adequate “ report ” on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s Justice Department is unlikely to back down in the face of a new legal argument .
The Justice Department is currently taking the far-fetched position that , even when armed with a valid statute , Congress can ’ t use the courts to enforce demands for information from the executive branch , leaving Congress essentially powerless against obstruction .
But if Mnuchin refuses to comply with 31 U.S.C .
§ 331 ( d ) , he will have a hard time finding legal ground to stand on .
And if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supreme Court , where justices who call themselves “ originalists ” now hold sway , the court should rule in favor of Congress .
Otherwise , the Supreme Court will be ignoring the will of the founders , the understanding of the Constitution shared by the first Congress and centuries of precedent .
Thomas , Alito , Kavanaugh , Gorsuch , and Roberts must all agree to turn over Trump ’ s tax returns to Congress or they would be guilty of blasphemy against the founders !
It looks like they ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m no legal expert and won ’ t pretend to be .
But the notion that this could be used to justify getting Trump ’ s taxes seems like quite a stretch .
We ’ re talking about Trump ’ s own personal taxes , not something that inherently belongs to the executive branch .

The DOJ announced today that it is considering whether to pursue hate crime charges against the killers of Ahmaud Arbery , which happened in February of this year : FOX NEWS – The Department of Justice ( DOJ ) is considering whether to pursue federal hate crime charges in the death of Ahmaud Arbery , the black man investigators say was shot by a white father and son as he ran through a Georgia neighborhood .
“ The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice , the FBI , and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fully support and participate in the state investigation , ” a statement from DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said Monday .
Kupec continued : “ We are assessing all of the evidence to determine whether federal hate crimes charges are appropriate .

We will continue to assess all information , and we will take any appropriate action that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The DOJ statement comes a day after Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr asked the DOJ to conduct an investigation into how the case was handled by Georgia law enforcement .
The case has seen two prosecutors replaced after potential conflicts of interest arose and it took more than two months after the fatal shooting for law enforcement to arrest the father and son .
“ We are committed to a complete and transparent review of how the Ahmaud Arbery case was handled from the outset , ” Carr said in a statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the state of Georgia deserve answers , and we will work with others in law enforcement at the state and federal level to find those answers.
” Video came out last week showing Arbery jogging along a road with a pickup truck stopped in his way .
Two men , a father and son duo , had apparently stopped the truck because they thought he looked like a robbery suspect .
They ordered him to stop while hold a shotgun and Arbery fought them .
The son shot Arbery twice with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t know whether this is hate crime case or just a couple of fools mistakenly taking the law into their own hands .
Either way , it appears that Arbery was defending himself and these thugs took his life when they had no business stopping him at all , especially at gunpoint .

On the same day as NBC ’ s Meet the Press and Chuck Todd took AG Barr out of context , CBS ’ s 60 Minutes did the very same thing to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , claiming Pompeo was pushing a debunked theory that the Wuhan virus was manmade despite the administration claiming otherwise .
But first , before we delve into the 60 minutes piece , I want you to rewatch a snippet from Pompeo ’ s interview from last Sunday where he was asked about the virus being manmade ( It ’ s cued up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answered the question about the virus being manmade , he misspoke .
When Raddatz read to Pompeo the ODNI ’ s statement that the virus was not manmade , Pompeo said he agreed with their statement and had no reason to believe it was inaccurate .

He answered the same way , saying he had no reason to believe they had it wrong .
Now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of context ( it ’ s cued up to 8:21 ) : Scott Pelley , the narrator of the segment , uses the portion of the interview where Pompeo misspoke to claim he was pushing a debunked theory of the virus being manmade .
Then , when Pompeo said he agreed with the ODNI statement that the virus was no manmade , Pelley claimed Pompeo was trying to have it both ways .
The segment was so egregious that the spox for the State Department slammed 60 minutes for their false portrayal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was no real need for his comments from last Wednesday .
To any fair minded person watching the prior interview , it was clear that Pompeo misspoke and didn ’ t realize it and that , upon clarification , he did agree with the ODNI assessment that it wasn ’ t manmade .
It was intentional and egregious and Scott Pelley should be fired .

On the same day as NBC’s Meet the Press and Chuck Todd took AG Barr out of context, CBS’s 60 Minutes did the very same thing to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, claiming Pompeo was pushing a debunked theory that the Wuhan virus was manmade despite the administration claiming otherwise.
But first, before we delve into the 60 minutes piece, I want you to rewatch a snippet from Pompeo’s interview from last Sunday where he was asked about the virus being manmade (It’s cued up to 5:51):
Clearly when Pompeo first answered the question about the virus being manmade, he misspoke. When Raddatz read to Pompeo the ODNI’s statement that the virus was not manmade, Pompeo said he agreed with their statement and had no reason to believe it was inaccurate. Raddatz, understanding that Pompeo probably misspoke the first time, sought to clarify one more time that Pompeo didn’t believe it was manmade. He answered the same way, saying he had no reason to believe they had it wrong.
Now, watch how 60 minutes takes Pompeo woefully out of context (it’s cued up to 8:21):
Scott Pelley, the narrator of the segment, uses the portion of the interview where Pompeo misspoke to claim he was pushing a debunked theory of the virus being manmade. Then, when Pompeo said he agreed with the ODNI statement that the virus was no manmade, Pelley claimed Pompeo was trying to have it both ways.
The segment was so egregious that the spox for the State Department slammed 60 minutes for their false portrayal of Pompeo’s comments:
.@CBSNews intentionally misled its viewers with a report Sunday evening that failed to accurately portray the clear intent of Secretary Pompeo's remarks to Martha Raddatz on ABC News regarding the origin of the virus in Wuhan, China. — Morgan Ortagus (@statedeptspox) May 11, 2020
They failed, too, to air his comments to the press from last Wednesday that provided even more clarity on the issue. — Morgan Ortagus (@statedeptspox) May 11, 2020
This reporting — intending to deceive — seeks to obfuscate the Secretary’s core point: the Chinese Communist Party continues to refuse calls for transparency, thereby compounding its cover-up, and further risking American lives. — Morgan Ortagus (@statedeptspox) May 11, 2020
There was no real need for his comments from last Wednesday. To any fair minded person watching the prior interview, it was clear that Pompeo misspoke and didn’t realize it and that, upon clarification, he did agree with the ODNI assessment that it wasn’t manmade. It was intentional and egregious and Scott Pelley should be fired.


therightscoop--2020-05-11--Trump calls for the firing of NBC’s Chuck Todd

Late last night Trump called for NBC ’ s Chuck Todd to be fired over his show taking AG Barr way out of context : As we posted last night on , NBC ’ s Meet the Press did admit to making a mistake : Mollie is right , that NBC ’ s tweet no way covers the error .
But the error is greater than just a small mistake , because it means either one of two things happened .
1 ) Chuck Todd was so ill-prepared for the segment that he wasn ’ t even aware of AG @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that when the ‘ mistake ’ happened with the video he thought that was all Barr had said .
Or 2 ) , Todd absolutely meant to take Barr out of context , which is likely the popular opinion .
Even if it was the former , though , it ’ s still really bad .
Because if Chuck Todd had been prepared for the segment and the video had cut off AG Barr mistakenly , as NBC admits , Todd would have just continued reading AG Barr ’ s answer instead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exactly what he DID say .
Either way you slice this , Chuck Todd is at fault .
And I ’ ll remind you that Megyn Kelly was let go from NBC ’ s Today Show for far , far less .

Late last night Trump called for NBC’s Chuck Todd to be fired over his show taking AG Barr way out of context:

As we posted last night on, NBC’s Meet the Press did admit to making a mistake:
You’re correct. Earlier today, we inadvertently and inaccurately cut short a video clip of an interview with AG Barr before offering commentary and analysis. The remaining clip included important remarks from the attorney general that we missed, and we regret the error. — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) May 10, 2020
Mollie is right, that NBC’s tweet no way covers the error. But the error is greater than just a small mistake, because it means either one of two things happened. 1) Chuck Todd was so ill-prepared for the segment that he wasn’t even aware of AG Barr’s full answer, so that when the ‘mistake’ happened with the video he thought that was all Barr had said. Or 2), Todd absolutely meant to take Barr out of context, which is likely the popular opinion.
Even if it was the former, though, it’s still really bad. Because if Chuck Todd had been prepared for the segment and the video had cut off AG Barr mistakenly, as NBC admits, Todd would have just continued reading AG Barr’s answer instead of claiming that Barr didn’t say exactly what he DID say. Either way you slice this, Chuck Todd is at fault. And I’ll remind you that Megyn Kelly was let go from NBC’s Today Show for far, far less.

Nancy Pelosi is creating another near trillion dollar stimulus bill for the states and local governments, however she’s doing it without Republican help:
FOX NEWS – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly drafting legislation that would assist states and local governments that have seen their economy contract amid the coronavirus pandemic, but any new bill is expected to face resistance from Republicans who’ve said they have been largely left out of negotiations. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the legislation may be completed this week and inject more than $750 billion into state and local governments’ coffers. The report pointed out that House Democrats have not engaged with the GOP-controlled Senate and Republican representatives. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., said, “We’ve really not been invited into those discussions yet.”
McConnell, Trump, and other Republicans have said that any new bill shouldn’t go toward fixing the debt of states that have spent irresponsibly, and my guess is that’s exactly what Pelosi wants to do. Republicans would be against that, however they aren’t against spending more money on trying to protect the economy.
Mnuchin said yesterday “we’re willing to spend whatever it takes”:
Axios reported that President Trump has said he is “in no rush” to negotiate a new deal. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin seemed to echo Trump’s approach to any new bill. Mnuchin, who was on Fox News Sunday, said he would like to spend a few weeks discussing the next steps. “What the president and I are now saying is we’ve spent a lot of money, a lot of this money is not even into the economy yet, ” Mnuchin said, adding, “we just want to make sure that before we jump back in and spend another few trillion of taxpayers’ money that we do it carefully.” Mnuchin said emergency spending “worked quickly” before, and that “we’re willing to spend whatever it takes, but whatever it takes needs to be done carefully.”
I’m definitely glad Trump and Mnuchin aren’t in any big hurry. But I wish they weren’t “willing to spend whatever it takes” because I thought we’d already done that with the 2.2 trillion dollar stimulus, followed by the near half trillion to replenish small businesses.


therightscoop--2020-05-12--BREAKING: DNI Grenell declassified list of Obama officials involved in unmasking of General Flynn

Remember how we reported last week that Acting DNI Richard Grenell walked over some confidential papers to the DOJ , to AG Barr ?
Well I think we ’ re about to find out what they were : ABC NEWS – Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has declassified a list of former Obama administration officials who were allegedly involved in the so-called “ unmasking ” of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his conversations with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition , a senior U.S. official tells ABC News .
Grenell , who remains the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the acting DNI , visited the Justice Department last week and brought the list with him , according to the official .
His visit indicates his focus on an issue previously highlighted in 2017 by skeptics of the investigation into the Trump campaign ’ s contacts with Russia , specifically allegations that former officials improperly unveiled Flynn ’ s identity from intercepts of his call with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak .
Back eons ago ( it feels like ) , it was explained that when an American citizen talks with a foreigner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the NSA , that person ’ s name is masked because they aren ’ t the target of the surveillance .
But certain Obama officials were unmasking names of Trump officials and making those people targets .
For example , we reported in 2017 that both Susan Rice and Samantha Powers both routinely unmasked officials in the Trump administration when they were in contact with officials from other countries .
Ben Rhodes was also suspected of unmasking Trump officials inappropriately .
I ’ m sure there are more , but I fully expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s list .

Grenell, who remains the U.S. ambassador to Germany along with being the acting DNI, visited the Justice Department last week and brought the list with him, according to the official.

But certain Obama officials were unmasking names of Trump officials and making those people targets.
For example, we reported in 2017 that both Susan Rice and Samantha Powers both routinely unmasked officials in the Trump administration when they were in contact with officials from other countries. Ben Rhodes was also suspected of unmasking Trump officials inappropriately.
I’m sure there are more, but I fully expect to see those names listed on Grenell’s list.
Speaking of Susan Rice, here’s Tucker’s monologue tonight on Obamagate:


therightscoop--2020-05-13--Los Angeles County to extend stay-at-home order until JULY or AUGUST!

The Democrats in Los Angeles County are determined to exert their will over the populace in their county with an iron fist , saying today that they will likely continue the stay-at-home order until July or August : FOX NEWS – Los Angeles County will likely continue its stay-at-home order through the summer , officials said Tuesday , as the coronavirus wreaks havoc on the economy and patience continues to wear thin for some calling for the state to reopen and for normal life to resume .
County Public Health Director Barabara Ferrer said the order will be extended “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Supervisors meeting , possibly until July or August , the Los Angeles Times reported .
“ Our hope is that by using the data we ’ d be able to slowly lift registrations over the next three months , ” she said .
“ But without widely available therapeutic testing for the coronavirus or rapid at-home testing versions that would allow people to test themselves daily , it seems unlikely that restrictions would be completely eased.
” The county ’ s stay-at-home order was extended last month through May 15 .
Gov @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state is giving counties the authority to loosen restrictions , like allowing shopping malls to reopen with curbside pickup .
Los Angeles County , the most populous county in the U.S. , already has eased some restrictions by allowing golf courses , car dealerships and some retail shops to resume operations with certain rules in place , according to the newspaper .
Hiking trails and beaches will reopen Wednesday with social distancing measures .
No sitting or lying on the sand will be allowed and face masks are required .
I hope the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here because you can believe there will be lawsuits against these LA County officials .
After all , California itself is moving ahead with reopening while LA County appears to be muddled in confusion and panic .
In fact the panic was so bad that the mayor of LA County called into CNN today to explain that it ’ s not as bad as it sounds : He ’ s saying he thinks that Ferrer means they won ’ t fully reopen for three months , noting that some things will reopen with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sounds pretty bad .
And the fact that Ferrer wasn ’ t around to elaborate makes it sound like they don ’ t really have a plan and are playing it from the hip .

The Democrats in Los Angeles County are determined to exert their will over the populace in their county with an iron fist, saying today that they will likely continue the stay-at-home order until July or August:
FOX NEWS – Los Angeles County will likely continue its stay-at-home order through the summer, officials said Tuesday, as the coronavirus wreaks havoc on the economy and patience continues to wear thin for some calling for the state to reopen and for normal life to resume. County Public Health Director Barabara Ferrer said the order will be extended “with all certainty” at the Board of Supervisors meeting, possibly until July or August, the Los Angeles Times reported. “Our hope is that by using the data we’d be able to slowly lift registrations over the next three months,” she said. “But without widely available therapeutic testing for the coronavirus or rapid at-home testing versions that would allow people to test themselves daily, it seems unlikely that restrictions would be completely eased.” The county’s stay-at-home order was extended last month through May 15. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday that the state is giving counties the authority to loosen restrictions, like allowing shopping malls to reopen with curbside pickup. Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the U.S., already has eased some restrictions by allowing golf courses, car dealerships and some retail shops to resume operations with certain rules in place, according to the newspaper. Hiking trails and beaches will reopen Wednesday with social distancing measures. No sitting or lying on the sand will be allowed and face masks are required.
I hope the DOJ’s ears are tuned in here because you can believe there will be lawsuits against these LA County officials.
After all, California itself is moving ahead with reopening while LA County appears to be muddled in confusion and panic. In fact the panic was so bad that the mayor of LA County called into CNN today to explain that it’s not as bad as it sounds:
Video: LA Mayor Eric Garcetti calls into CNN with Jake Tapper to do some damage control, telling Jake that the three month extension will not mean everything stays closed. "Well, I want to reassure people because I think there was a lot panic suddenly" when the story came out pic.twitter.com/L7ow4ZA7Ga — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) May 12, 2020
He’s saying he thinks that Ferrer means they won’t fully reopen for three months, noting that some things will reopen with appropriate measures.
Either way, it sounds pretty bad. And the fact that Ferrer wasn’t around to elaborate makes it sound like they don’t really have a plan and are playing it from the hip. Let there be lawsuits.


therightscoop--2020-05-12--BREAKING: Judge Sullivan postpones DOJ request to drop case against Flynn

It appears the judge presiding over the Flynn case is postponing the DOJ ’ s request to drop the case against Michael Flynn : As the tweet suggests , Judge Sullivan is allowing outside groups to weigh in on this decision by the DOJ to drop the case .
I just heard about it on Fox News as the DOJ spokesperson was being interviewed by Martha McCallum .
Of course the news just broke so she had no real comment on it , other than to say the DOJ feels the case should have never been brought based on what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ D.C. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order Tuesday indicating that he ’ ll soon accept “ amicus curiae , ” or “ friend of the court ” submissions , in the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn — essentially allowing the court to use an “ ask the audience ” lifeline in what has already proved to be an unpredictable and chaotic prosecution .
Sullivan ’ s minute order indicated that an upcoming scheduling order would clarify the parameters of who specifically could submit the amicus briefs , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interest in the case .
Sullivan specifically said he anticipates that “ individuals and organizations ” will file briefs “ for the benefit of the court.
” The move attracted some immediate criticism .
The Federalist ’ s Sean Davis , for example , cautioned that Sullivan was inviting “ left-wing lawyers write his final order against Flynn for him.
” In his order , Sullivan quoted his fellow judge on the D.C. District Court , Amy Berman Jackson , who previously admonished the parties in the case of Trump associate Roger Stone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the criminal case will become a “ free for all.
” As I ’ ve said before , I ’ m no legal expert .
But I understand that it ’ s typically pro-forma for a judge to drop a case when the prosecution decides they no longer want to try the case .
So what exactly Sullivan is doing here I don ’ t know .
Below is the aforementioned tweet from Sean Davis :

Chuck Todd is finally apologizing for what he calls a ‘ mistake ’ on his segment featuring AG Barr ’ s interview with CBS News : As Houck suggests in his tweet , Todd claims he didn ’ t see Barr ’ s full answer because he saw a shorter clip of two clips that CBS News aired .
He then admits that they should have watched both clips and should have checked for a transcript , saying it was “ a mistake that I wish we hadn ’ t made and one wish that I hadn ’ t made.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lazy , shoddy journalism .
You know what ?
I believe him .
I believe that they saw the clip and loved it so much that they didn ’ t bother checking the transcript , which we posted on FRIDAY MORNING .
Yes , several days before he aired his show CBS News had already published a full transcript of the interview on the 12th .
It ’ s the height of irresponsibility that they didn ’ t bother even checking the transcript .
This is something I try to do as much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can find the transcript , so can Chuck Todd and his MTP team .
Given his platform , there should be serious consequences for this breach of trust .
At best a suspension of several weeks for Todd , if not longer .
And Meet the Press needs to run this correction at the top of their broadcast on Sunday Morning , not during the last minute of the show , that is if NBC truly regrets this mistake .
Yeah , I ’ m not counting on either .

therightscoop--2020-05-12--‘You don’t go jogging wearing saggy pants’ – Man who called cops on Ahmaud Arbery

A man had called the cops of Ahmaud Arbery before he was killed in a struggle with Travis McMichael , noting that he looked suspicious “ poking around a construction site ” and said he didn ’ t appear that he was out for a jog due to his saggy pants : NY POST – A Georgia man called the cops on slain black jogger Ahmaud Arbery minutes before he was gunned down — saying he was suspicious of Arbery ’ s “ saggy pants , ” according to a report .
The unidentified man , who lives in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two white men on Feb. 23 , told the Daily Mail he saw Arbery poking around a construction site about 350 yards from his home and called the police .
“ I saw the fella earlier before it happened , and I called the police probably about 10 minutes before it happened , ” the man told the outlet .
“ I didn ’ t call 911 , I called the non-emergency number .
I saw him running but he wasn ’ t running through the neighborhood.
” Asked why he was suspicious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wasn ’ t out for a jog , put it like that … You don ’ t go jogging wearing saggy pants , saggy shorts.
” There is surveillance footage of Arbery “ poking around ” the construction site : Surveillance footage inside the half-finished home on the block shows a man believed to be Arbery looking through the construction site for nearly three minutes before he leaves .
The owner of the home , Larry English , issued a statement this week distancing himself from the incident and denouncing the McMichaels ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ property in June 2016 for $ 120,000 and has built much of the house — which is marked with a no trespassing sign , the Mail said .
I can understand why the man might have called the police on Arbery , especially if the home had a no trespassing sign and he was poking around it .
Still , that doesn ’ t explain or justify the actions taken by the McMichaels , which resulted in Arbery ’ s death .
Also I looked at the video and those just look like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pants ’ .
Maybe they were saggy at some point , but based on the short footage above they look fairly normal to me and something someone might jog in .
