saraacater--2020-09-07--Demand Answers. Top CIA, FBI Spies Still Haven’t Been Questioned On Russia Hoax.

Nothing to see here folks .
Time erases everything .
Believe me , former Obama administration officials and those who worked with them in the FBI , along with the Department of Justice , are counting on the fact that the American people get exhausted of this Russia hoax tale .
They , however , are not .
They are still weaving their own narrative with their friends in the media .
Which is what former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok recently did on NBC .
As they spin their own lies , they expect us to forget what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ duly elected president and trashed the U.S. constitution .
They expect everyone to buy their half-ass truths and their flat out lies .
Don ’ t be fooled .
They will continue to “ deny everything , admit nothing and make counter accusations.
” This is what they are trained to do .
In an effort to gain our trust back they will throw several underlings under the bus and then ride off into the sunset with book deals , cable news contributor deals and whatever else they can do to maximize their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America .
So what you have to ask yourself is what have both senior Republican and Democratic lawmakers stayed clear of and what are they not willing to do at their so-called theatrical hearings .
What are they covering up because remember this isn ’ t just about Democrats .
It ’ s about the establishment and how they protect one-another .
Why are lawmakers – both Republicans and Democrats -avoiding to call certain key players to testify at hearings ?
I question why these lawmakers seem to get amnesia with certain facts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charge of investigating the Russia hoax are not bringing forward to question in one of the most egregious internal actions against a sitting U.S. president ?
For one , it ’ s all the people that can expose what actually happened for what it really was : an operation against a U.S. president , not conducted by an enemy state but by a deep state bent on keeping and protecting the establishment safe .
It is also to protect those in power that were part of covering up and aiding those who weaponized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparatus .
The evidence gathered over the past three years by members of the House who weren ’ t afraid to fight back , like House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes , along with former congressman and now White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows , Rep. Jim Jordan , Rep. Andy Biggs , among many others , should shatter our unquestioning belief that the American system isn ’ t susceptible to these banana republic tactics .
It is , unfortunately .
It has been a battle every day to get the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their actions .
Ask yourself , other than former FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith , who helped alter information on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page ’ s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application ( FISA ) warrant so the bureau could spy on Page , whose been charged ?
How many times have we heard former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and current Attorney General William Barr say they were close and that something was going to happen , only for it to be less than sixty-days out from the next Presidential election and nothing has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins , nothing will ever be done .
Do you think that has weighed into what ’ s happening inside the Justice Department ?
What about Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham ?
He promised for years that he was going to get to the bottom of it and call witnesses that mattered – where are those witnesses ?
Who cares what former acting Attorney General Sally Yates had to say ?
She pretty much said what we ’ ve already heard in her previous testimony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call Stephan Halper to testify ?
Why not ask former CIA Director John Brennan about his role in what transpired in London and how much did he know .
Earlier this year when Fox News host Maria Bartiromo asked Nunes which agency , the FBI or CIA , was more likely to have lined up confidential sources to make contact with members of the Trump campaign ?
“ Well , as you know , we have jurisdiction over both FBI and CIA and what they do overseas .
We have lots of information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things , we don ’ t really have any information from CIA , ” Nunes said on on Sunday Morning Futures .
After all , it was Halper who was spying on both Page , as well as former campaign aide George Papadopolous and all of this occurred overseas .
Both men were being recorded by the overweight and longtime CIA connected Cambridge professor , who also allegedly smeared former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and British academic and intelligence historian Svetlana Lokhova .
It was Halper who brought them all overseas and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ targets of the U.S. intelligence community , as well as other allied intelligence agencies overseas .
Heck , for that matter , they were also targets of our foreign adversaries but that isn ’ t being questioned .
Why not ?
What about former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove ’ s involvement with former British spy Christopher Steele , who was being paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee to spy on the Trump campaign .
What did Dearlove know ?
Why hasn ’ t Hillary Clinton been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and why haven ’ t directors of the DNC been called to testify about what they knew ?
After all , they were sending campaign money through their cutout law firm Perkins Coie to pay the private firm Fusion GPS to spy on Trump .
In fact , Fusion GPS , hired Nellie Ohr , an Russia intelligence expert , whose husband Bruce Ohr was a top official inside the DOJ , while she helped gather information on members of the Trump campaign .
In fact , the Ohr ’ s were friends @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a backdoor channel for the FBI after Steele was let go as a source for leaking to the press .
Do you see how complicated and murky this is all getting ?
So you see why these senior government officials feel they can get away with all of this ?
They believe they can because my friends , they have already done this in the past .
This is not their first rodeo but this is the first time they ’ ve actually be caught .
What about the recent interview on NBC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who along with FBI agent Joe Pientka , cornered Flynn at the White House in a surprise interview in January , 2017 .
Remember , this was the set up .
Fired FBI Director James Comey even said so in a public interview where he laughed about it and the disorganization in the Trump administration .
Later , hand written notes from senior FBI officials suggested they wanted to catch Flynn “ in a lie ” or “ get him fired.
” Strzok was fired for lying and did so with the IG @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is his interview with NBC .
He is only telling you what he wants you to believe .
He acts as if the American public is too dumb to remember what he and other senior officials did before , during and after the investigation into Trump .
Those in the FBI , including Comey and fired Deputy Director Andrew McCabe , along with their cohorts in crime stomped all over the U.S. Constitution ’ s Fourth Amendment and I ’ m certain this wasn ’ t the first time .
These type of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s best for you and that the ends justify the means .
Trust me , I ’ ve heard them say it at events in Washington D.C .
They have a disdain for patriots and the middle class American worker .
They just don ’ t think we ’ re smart enough .
Ask yourself why only Clinesmith ’ s been prosecuted so far for the FISA alterations and omissions that Strzok said were simple mistakes that led to the FBI ’ s spying on Page ’ s communications .
DOJ Inspector General @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violator of the FISA .
It was former FBI Special Agent Stephen Somma , from the bureau ’ s New York Field Office .
He was identified as as “ Case Agent 1 ” in Horowitz ’ s report that was released in December , 2019 .
Horowitz stated that Somma was “ primarily responsible for some of the most significant errors and omissions ” during the process of obtaining FISA warrants to wiretap Page in 2016 and 2017 .
In fact , at that time the IG confirmed the FBI relied heavily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pursuing the secret surveillance .
Strzok expects us to believe this was all a misunderstanding and simple mistakes made by the fall guy Clinesmith ?
In fact , it was Somma and an unnamed Staff Operations Specialist “ were the original Crossfire Hurricane team members who had primary responsibility over the Carter Page investigation.
” Why haven ’ t Graham and other senior Senate lawmakers called these folks to testify ?
In fact , the FBI documents reveal that in August 2016 , Somma was told he had “ not yet presented enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carter Page.
” He then told Horowitz ’ s investigators what they did next .
It was the “ that the team ’ s receipt of the reporting from Steele [ in September ] supplied missing information in terms of what Page may have been doing during his July 2016 visit to Moscow and provided enough information on Page ’ s recent activities that [ Somma ] thought would satisfy the Office of Intelligence.
” In fact , like we ’ ve discussed in previous stories the FBI purposefully did not include information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information would have shown that Page was in fact an asset and cooperated fully with the CIA .
“ We found no information indicating that the FBI provided the Office of Intelligence with the documents containing Page ’ s denials before finalizing the first FISA application , ” Horowitz wrote .
“ Instead , Case Agent 1 provided a summary that did not contain those denials to the OI Attorney and that the OI Attorney relied upon that summary in drafting the first application.
” It ’ s not going to be easy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being spewed by these government officials .
They are more angry with the American people for voting for Trump than with Trump himself .
They committed some of the most appalling actions against the American people , the Constitution .
The FBI was mired in corruption at its highest levels and it has tainted the good name of agents who want nothing more than to see it gutted and cleaned out .
We should not get tired of asking questions and investigating what actually happened .
Do not forget , we the American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the law and do what ’ s right .
If they broke the law they need to pay the price .
It ’ s just that simple .

Nothing to see here folks. Time erases everything.
It’s all a ruse.

In an effort to gain our trust back they will throw several underlings under the bus and then ride off into the sunset with book deals, cable news contributor deals and whatever else they can do to maximize their profit off of the pain they caused America.
So what you have to ask yourself is what have both senior Republican and Democratic lawmakers stayed clear of and what are they not willing to do at their so-called theatrical hearings. What are they covering up because remember this isn’t just about Democrats. It’s about the establishment and how they protect one-another.

For one, it’s all the people that can expose what actually happened for what it really was: an operation against a U.S. president, not conducted by an enemy state but by a deep state bent on keeping and protecting the establishment safe.
It is also to protect those in power that were part of covering up and aiding those who weaponized the federal law enforcement and the intelligence apparatus. The evidence gathered over the past three years by members of the House who weren’t afraid to fight back, like House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, along with former congressman and now White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Andy Biggs, among many others, should shatter our unquestioning belief that the American system isn’t susceptible to these banana republic tactics.
It is, unfortunately. It has been a battle every day to get the truth out and hold perpetrators responsible for their actions.
Ask yourself, other than former FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who helped alter information on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application (FISA) warrant so the bureau could spy on Page, whose been charged?
How many times have we heard former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and current Attorney General William Barr say they were close and that something was going to happen, only for it to be less than sixty-days out from the next Presidential election and nothing has been done.

“Well, as you know, we have jurisdiction over both FBI and CIA and what they do overseas. We have lots of information about FBI people going overseas and doing things, we don’t really have any information from CIA,” Nunes said on on Sunday Morning Futures.
After all, it was Halper who was spying on both Page, as well as former campaign aide George Papadopolous and all of this occurred overseas. Both men were being recorded by the overweight and longtime CIA connected Cambridge professor, who also allegedly smeared former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and British academic and intelligence historian Svetlana Lokhova. It was Halper who brought them all overseas and made it possible for them to become targets of the U.S. intelligence community, as well as other allied intelligence agencies overseas. Heck, for that matter, they were also targets of our foreign adversaries but that isn’t being questioned. Why not?
What about former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove’s involvement with former British spy Christopher Steele, who was being paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee to spy on the Trump campaign. What did Dearlove know? Why hasn’t Hillary Clinton been called to testify about what she knew and why haven’t directors of the DNC been called to testify about what they knew?
After all, they were sending campaign money through their cutout law firm Perkins Coie to pay the private firm Fusion GPS to spy on Trump. In fact, Fusion GPS, hired Nellie Ohr, an Russia intelligence expert, whose husband Bruce Ohr was a top official inside the DOJ, while she helped gather information on members of the Trump campaign. In fact, the Ohr’s were friends with Steele, and Bruce operated as a backdoor channel for the FBI after Steele was let go as a source for leaking to the press.
Do you see how complicated and murky this is all getting? So you see why these senior government officials feel they can get away with all of this? They believe they can because my friends, they have already done this in the past. This is not their first rodeo but this is the first time they’ve actually be caught.

Remember, this was the set up. Fired FBI Director James Comey even said so in a public interview where he laughed about it and the disorganization in the Trump administration. Later, hand written notes from senior FBI officials suggested they wanted to catch Flynn “in a lie” or “get him fired.”
Strzok was fired for lying and did so with the IG. His character is tarnished and so is his interview with NBC. He is only telling you what he wants you to believe.
He acts as if the American public is too dumb to remember what he and other senior officials did before, during and after the investigation into Trump.
Those in the FBI, including Comey and fired Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, along with their cohorts in crime stomped all over the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment and I’m certain this wasn’t the first time. These type of people believe that they know what’s best for you and that the ends justify the means. Trust me, I’ve heard them say it at events in Washington D.C.
They have a disdain for patriots and the middle class American worker. They just don’t think we’re smart enough.
Ask yourself why only Clinesmith’s been prosecuted so far for the FISA alterations and omissions that Strzok said were simple mistakes that led to the FBI’s spying on Page’s communications.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz identified another far more egregious violator of the FISA. It was former FBI Special Agent Stephen Somma, from the bureau’s New York Field Office. He was identified as as “Case Agent 1” in Horowitz’s report that was released in December, 2019.
Horowitz stated that Somma was “primarily responsible for some of the most significant errors and omissions” during the process of obtaining FISA warrants to wiretap Page in 2016 and 2017. In fact, at that time the IG confirmed the FBI relied heavily on Steele’s unverified dossier when pursuing the secret surveillance.
Strzok expects us to believe this was all a misunderstanding and simple mistakes made by the fall guy Clinesmith?
In fact, it was Somma and an unnamed Staff Operations Specialist “were the original Crossfire Hurricane team members who had primary responsibility over the Carter Page investigation.”
Why haven’t Graham and other senior Senate lawmakers called these folks to testify?
In fact, the FBI documents reveal that in August 2016, Somma was told he had “not yet presented enough information to support a FISA application targeting Carter Page.” He then told Horowitz’s investigators what they did next. It was the “that the team’s receipt of the reporting from Steele [in September] supplied missing information in terms of what Page may have been doing during his July 2016 visit to Moscow and provided enough information on Page’s recent activities that [Somma] thought would satisfy the Office of Intelligence.”
In fact, like we’ve discussed in previous stories the FBI purposefully did not include information that would have cleared Page. This information would have shown that Page was in fact an asset and cooperated fully with the CIA.
“We found no information indicating that the FBI provided the Office of Intelligence with the documents containing Page’s denials before finalizing the first FISA application,” Horowitz wrote. “Instead, Case Agent 1 provided a summary that did not contain those denials to the OI Attorney and that the OI Attorney relied upon that summary in drafting the first application.”
It’s not going to be easy to break free of all the lies being spewed by these government officials.
They are more angry with the American people for voting for Trump than with Trump himself. They committed some of the most appalling actions against the American people, the Constitution.
The FBI was mired in corruption at its highest levels and it has tainted the good name of agents who want nothing more than to see it gutted and cleaned out.
We should not get tired of asking questions and investigating what actually happened. Do not forget, we the American people, employee these bureaucrats to follow the law and do what’s right.
If they broke the law they need to pay the price. It’s just that simple.


saraacater--2020-09-07--Peter Strzok: Russia is trying to help Trump again, like in 2016

“ I don ’ t think at all that it ’ s anything improper , ” Peter Strzok , the former FBI deputy chief of counterintelligence , said in an interview with “ CBS Sunday Morning.
” “ You get people who are overworked , who make mistakes — and don ’ t get me wrong , inexcusable mistakes.
” “ Nobody had any joy in doing this .
Nobody was seeking to try and open that case , ” continued Strzok .
What Russia is doing , what they did in 2016 to attack our election , to help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do the very same thing is something every American ought to be thinking about and considering From July 21 , 2016 , before the election : “ Trump is a disaster.
” “ And then , one week later , you opened that Crossfire Hurricane investigation , ” Martin said .
“ I mean , it just looks like you saw a way to stop Donald Trump from becoming President of the United States.
” “ I can understand why some people might think that , ” Strzok said .
“ But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other.
” One week after Strzok opened the investigation , Lisa Page texted him : Page : “ ( Trump ’ s ) not ever going to become President , right ?
Strzok : “ No .
No he ’ s not .
We ’ ll stop it.
” Martin asked , “ So , why shouldn ’ t Trump supporters suspect you of using the investigation as a tool to take him down ?
” “ What I ’ d point them to are all the investigations that have been done that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occur , ” he replied .
Martin asked Strzok , “ How does it feel to be in Donald Trump ’ s crosshairs ?
” He replied , “ It ’ s horrible .
It angers you .
It scares you.
” That hasn ’ t stopped Strzok from putting one of the president ’ s tweets ( “ Peter Strzok is a fraud ” ) on the cover of his book .
“ You know , it ’ s going to put you back in the crosshairs , ” said Martin .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ David , this is a threat that we have not faced in our modern history .
What Russia is doing , what they did in 2016 to attack our election , to help Trump , what they are doing now to do the very same thing is something every American ought to be thinking about and considering .
”

“I don’t think at all that it’s anything improper,” Peter Strzok, the former FBI deputy chief of counterintelligence, said in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning.” “You get people who are overworked, who make mistakes — and don’t get me wrong, inexcusable mistakes.”
“Nobody had any joy in doing this. Nobody was seeking to try and open that case,” continued Strzok.
What Russia is doing, what they did in 2016 to attack our election, to help Trump, what they are doing now to do the very same thing is something every American ought to be thinking about and considering Peter Strzok, on “CBS Sunday Morning”
Excerpt from “CBS Sunday Morning” transcript:
From July 21, 2016, before the election: “Trump is a disaster.”
“And then, one week later, you opened that Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Martin said. “I mean, it just looks like you saw a way to stop Donald Trump from becoming President of the United States.”
“I can understand why some people might think that,” Strzok said. “But they had nothing to do with each other.”
One week after Strzok opened the investigation, Lisa Page texted him:
Page: “(Trump’s) not ever going to become President, right?
Strzok: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”
Martin asked, “So, why shouldn’t Trump supporters suspect you of using the investigation as a tool to take him down?”
“What I’d point them to are all the investigations that have been done that have conclusively proved that didn’t occur,” he replied.
–
Martin asked Strzok, “How does it feel to be in Donald Trump’s crosshairs?”
He replied, “It’s horrible. It angers you. It scares you.”
That hasn’t stopped Strzok from putting one of the president’s tweets (“Peter Strzok is a fraud”) on the cover of his book.
“You know, it’s going to put you back in the crosshairs,” said Martin.
“I do.”
“Is it gonna be worth it?”
“Yes,” Strtzok replied. “David, this is a threat that we have not faced in our modern history. What Russia is doing, what they did in 2016 to attack our election, to help Trump, what they are doing now to do the very same thing is something every American ought to be thinking about and considering.”


saraacater--2020-09-08--Biden Claims Trump is ‘the only person calling to defund the police’

Former Vice President and 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump is “ the only person calling to defund the police.
” In the aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd , there ’ s been loud anti-law enforcement rhetoric and calls to defund local police departments .
“ I not only don ’ t want to defund the police , I ’ m the one calling for 300 million dollars more for local police for community policing , ” Biden said .
“ I also think we should add social workers and psychologists to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued , “ The only person calling to defund the police is Donald Trump .
Look at his budget .
He calls for cutting police funding for state and local by $ 400 million .
Once again , he ’ s pathological.
” With less than 60 days until the election and key states showing the two candidates neck in neck in many polls , Biden has recently come out of his home in Delaware , where he was conducting voter outreach virtually , to visit those battleground states .
President Trump has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ‘ defund the police ’ movement and has even threatened to pull federal funds from cities that adopt such extreme policies .
Moreover , the Trump administration has pledged additional funding to law enforcement in many states amid growing civil unrest and riots .
Biden , however , has reportedly flip-flopped on the issue and is said to even have once asserted he would support redirecting funding from law enforcement agencies to support other community services .

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

saraacater--2020-09-08--Biggs Calls On GOP To Push Forward Motion To Remove Pelosi As Speaker

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs , R-AZ , is calling for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “ to be removed from her post as Speaker of the House , ” in a new op-ed for FoxNews.com .
“ Isn ’ t it past time for Rep. Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif. , to leave her office as Speaker of the House ?
I call upon our leaders in Congress to put forward the Motion to Vacate the Chair that has been prepared and merely needs to be brought to the floor , ” Biggs wrote in his opinion piece .
Biggs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grounds for her removal where Pelosi acted “ above the law , ” including her recent visit to get her hair blown dry which violated her home State ’ s COVID-19 lockdown order .
Pelosi , however , claims she was “ set up ” by the salon ’ s owner and wasn ’ t aware of the rules that San Francisco residents can only have their hair done outdoors .
Moreover , he said it ’ s “ the same hubris that is demonstrated in Pelosi ’ s attacks on a small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of crushing her , also permitted the corruption of our federal intelligence gathering apparatus to spy on a political opponent ’ s campaign , denies that Marxist agitators are rioting , looting , and murdering ; and when polling shows that Americans know better , tries to change the narrative to blame Trump .

saraacater--2020-09-08--Bolton Says Claims Trump Disparaged U.S. Troops Are ‘Simply False’

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said claims asserted by anonymous sources who told The Atlantic that President Donald Trump called fallen U.S. troops and wounded veterans ‘ losers ’ and ‘ suckers ’ while on a diplomatic visit to France in 2018 are “ simply false.
” President Trump has also denied making such comments .
“ According to what that article said , the president made disparaging remarks about soldiers and people buried in the cemetery in connection with the decision for him not to go to the ceremony that was planned that afternoon , and that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News host Martha MacCallum Monday night .
Bolton also said he included the story of that visit to France in his book “ The Room Where it Happened , ” where he describes exactly why a trip to a cemetery for American war heroes was canceled .
“ The main issue was whether or not weather conditions permitted the president to go out to the cemetery , ” Bolton asserted , saying Trump accepted the logistical recommendation .
Not a single unnamed source has come out of the shadows to back The Atlantic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg , who wrote the piece , told CNN host Brian Stelter over the weekend of his decision to publish a piece solely based on anonymous sources , “ The formula is simple .
What you do is does the public ’ s right to know or need to know a particular piece of information outweigh the morally complicated and ambiguous qualities of anonymous sourcing ?
” Bolton , however , wasn ’ t the only key source to deny the anonymously made claims .
Former Deputy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exclusively told Breitbart News , “ You can put me on record denying that I spoke with The Atlantic .
I don ’ t know who the sources are .
I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather .
Honestly , do you think General Kelly would have stood by and let ANYONE call fallen Marines losers ?
”

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

In a surprising twist, a newly unsealed court document has unveiled that Special Counsel Jack Smith managed to gain access to former President Donald J Trump’s Twitter account, including its private messages and draft tweets. This revelation comes amidst his ongoing investigations into alleged wrongdoings by the ex-president.
The document indicates that Smith obtained a secret search warrant in January, permitting him to scrutinize the ‘@RealDonaldTrump’ account for potential evidence related to criminal activities. Initially, a judge imposed a hefty fine of $350,000 on Elon Musk’s social media conglomerate, previously known as Twitter, for its refusal to cooperate, as revealed in documents released last week.
Furthermore, the court order also restricted the company, now identified as X, from informing Trump about the warrant. According to sources from Smith’s special counsel team, the fear was that if Trump were alerted to the warrant, he might interfere with the investigation.
An attorney from Smith’s team explained, “There actually are concrete cognizable reasons to think that if the former president had notice of these covert investigative steps, there would be actual harm and concern for the investigation, for the witnesses going forward.”
Following some legal wrangling, the unsealed filing discloses that Twitter ultimately provided the requested records. The court filing specifies that Smith secured a search warrant that directed Twitter to hand over ‘data and records’ linked to Trump’s Twitter account, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The content of the messages and draft tweets remains undisclosed.
As per a transcript included in the submission, a legal representative from Twitter affirmed that the company divulged ‘all direct messages, including those in ‘draft form,’ to the special counsel’s team. Moreover, access to both ‘eliminated’ and ‘retained’ direct messages from Trump was accorded to the special counsel’s team.
The former president, in response, accused Joe Biden of being responsible for the warrant and criticized Smith for what he deemed a violation of his privacy. Trump posted on Monday to voice his displeasure, stating, “How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, breaking into my Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me. What could he possibly find out that is not already known.”
Smith’s actions have culminated in a 37-count indictment against Trump, with charges ranging from obstruction of justice in relation to classified materials to his efforts to maintain power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment also implicates Trump in spreading falsehoods and encouraging the events of January 6th, characterized as an attack on the Capitol “fueled by lies.”
In response to these developments, Smith issued a public statement underscoring that the assault on the Capitol was “fueled by lies” propagated by Trump, aiming to disrupt the core workings of the U.S. government’s electoral process. Smith asserted his commitment to a ‘swift’ trial as part of his pursuit of justice.

If President Donald Trump presented any indication during an online question and answer session that his responses were pre-loaded into a teleprompter , you bet the mainstream media would be all over it .
The media , however , doesn ’ t seem to have the same interest in getting to the truth when it comes to former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .

Byron York , a Washington Examiner columnist spoke to Laura Ingraham on Wednesday about how the investigators came to realize that the person driving the events of ‘ Ukraine Investigation ’ wasn ’ t the so-called whistleblower , but none other than Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman .
In his new book , “ Obsession : Inside the Washington Establishment ’ s Never-Ending War on Trump “ , Byron York reveals the details behind the House and Senate hearings on the Ukraine investigation .
“ If you remember early on in the Ukraine Investigation , the Democrats said they wanted the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their mind and they didn ’ t want the whistleblower to testify , ” said Byron .
“ And they [ Democrats ] began to shut off any Republican attempts to find out who the whistleblower was .
So the question is , if the whistleblower wasn ’ t in the White House , how did he learn what was going on ?
” continued Byron York .
“ And Lieutenant Colonel Vindman was one of several people who had listened to the Trump-Zelensky phone call .
But he was the only one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He was the only one who thought there was a problem there .
So when he was interviewed by the House , remember , in those secret sessions that the Intelligence Committee .
They said , well , who outside the White House did you tell about this phone call ?
And he said , I told two people , said , well , who are they ?
One of them was George Kent , who was a State Department official and who was specialized in Ukraine .
Who was the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the intelligence community .
And at that point , Rep. Adam Schiff and other Democrats interrupted .
You can not say , you can not ask the other person he spoke to .
And Republicans said , well , why ?
Why can ’ t we ask about that ?
And they said because it would tend to identify the whistleblower .
So it didn ’ t take a real rocket scientist to figure out that the source of this , the original source of this was Lieutenant Colonel Vindman .

saraacater--2020-09-10--Schiff’s Obsession With President Trump Is Dangerous To U.S. National Security

It ’ s another witch hunt and Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Adam Schiff doesn ’ t mind wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on it like he has over the past four years .
The important aspect of this whole upside down scenario is that Schiff doesn ’ t really care about the national security issues that could potentially pose a significant danger to the United States or its citizens .
He cares about one thing and one thing only : President Donald Trump .
Schiff – and those like him – are obsessed with Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me of the fictional character Captain Ahab in Herman Melville ‘ s Moby-Dick , written in 1851 .
Schiff is the captain of the committee , not the whaling ship .
But just as importantly , Schiff is on a voyage to destroy President Trump , much like Ahab was obsessed over Moby Dick .
Schiff like Ahab is willing to lose almost anything to get Trump and in the end he just might allow the political whale to drag him to the depths of Washington D.C. ’ s swamp .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Schiff just happens to be that character .
That Character .
But we shouldn ’ t let him drag American taxpayer dollars and security down with him .
Schiff has repeatedly lied about Trump and lied to the American people about the so-called evidence he had regarding the now-debunked Russia conspiracy .
Schiff , however , has never been held accountable for the numerous hoaxes he has perpetrated from the committee charged with oversight of our nation ’ s secrets , covert agencies and the overall security of the country from enemy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Russia , among many other nations that are using the chaos and divisions in our nation to their benefit .
I remember this May , when the House released 57 transcripts of interviews with former senior Obama officials and FBI regarding Russia ’ s meddling in the 2016 election and the bureau ’ s investigation into Trump ?
Lawmakers began the probe into the FBI ’ s handling of the investigation into the Trump campaign in January 2017 .
At the time , the House Committee on Intelligence was Chaired by Rep. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with investigators to uncover massive amounts of evidence that revealed malfeasance in the FBI , led to the firing of senior bureau officials and then was reinforced by investigations conducted by the DOJ ’ s Inspector General Michael Horowitz .
Horowitz was not a Trump appointee but was appointed under President Obama .
Throughout all those years and despite numerous findings showing there was no collusion between Trump and Russia , including a final March , 2018 report , it didn ’ t matter .
Schiff continued to promise the American people that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In 2019 , even after investigations cleared Trump , Schiff continued to lie to the American people .
He said on ABC News at the time that there was evidence Trump conspired with Russia , saying there was “ ample evidence of collusion in plain sight.
” “ The obstruction of justice in particular in this case is far worse than anything that Richard Nixon did , ” Schiff said .
“ I would say in every way this is more significant than Watergate…And the fact that a candidate for president and now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only not stand up and resist Russian interference in our election but would welcome it goes well beyond anything Nixon did.
“ Where is the evidence ?
It was never there and he knew it .
It didn ’ t matter because Schiff was using his position to target Trump .
Even though the March 2018 report found no evidence the Trump campaign conspired with Moscow , Schiff refused to allow those transcripts to go public until the White House threatened to release them first .
When that died down Schiff shifted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whistleblowers into the spotlight , like Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman who used his position , along with others at the National Security Counsel to spy on Trump ’ s phone calls .
Those classified phone calls , particularly the one with the Ukraine president , became the focal point of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ’ s , and Schiff ’ s impeachment parade against Trump .
It rightfully failed and the Senate exonerated Trump but it tore the nation even further apart .
Moreover , millions of taxpayer dollars and time have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which should be focused on real enemy states , actors and important oversight duties .
Schiff didn ’ t care then and now he doesn ’ t now , as he ’ s now pushing a new hoax during an election year and hoping that he can do whatever he can to tear Trump ’ s administration apart .
He will do so even at the peril of the nation .
Schiff , like many Democrats and never-Trumpers , hates Trump more than they love America .
This new whistleblower is allegedly connected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about issues with the Department of Homeland Security .
He alleges that a reprisal complaint lists “ serious wrongdoing ” and an effort to hide reports about Russian interference into U.S. elections .
“ The whistleblower retaliation complaint filed by former Acting Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Brian Murphy outlines grave and disturbing allegations that senior White House and Department of Homeland Security officials improperly sought to politicize , manipulate , and censor intelligence in order to benefit President Trump politically , ” Schiff said in a letter to Brian Murphy ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation and its security at grave risk.
” Really Schiff ?
A whistleblowers politicized allegations is putting our nation at risk ?
Our nation is at risk because you , along with your cronies in the Democratic party , have failed to do anything for the American people beyond your one-track Trump mind .
Think about it – beyond Trump .
– has Schiff done anything that sticks out ?
Have there been any revelations that have shown his leadership in the Committee has been exemplary and that he ’ s doing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about COVID-19 “ China ’ s virus ” and how China , not Trump , failed the nation .
What about Russia ’ s real interference in the 2016 election by leaking disinformation to former British spy Christopher Steele , who was using DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign funds to pay for his Russian sources .
I think that ’ s something that we should look into .
What about the numerous lied that former CIA Director John Brennan , along with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress ?
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ISIS and other extremists groups that are still targeting the United States ?
What about Schiff ’ s own lies ?
Will Schiff ever actually be held accountable for those lies and for the wasted tax dollars spent chasing unicorns around the D.C. swamp to target Trump ?
I doubt it .
But remember what kind of person Schiff really is and realize it won ’ t be long before Schiff sinks his own ship .

It’s another witch hunt and Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Adam Schiff doesn’t mind wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on it like he has over the past four years.
The important aspect of this whole upside down scenario is that Schiff doesn’t really care about the national security issues that could potentially pose a significant danger to the United States or its citizens. He cares about one thing and one thing only: President Donald Trump.

Schiff is the captain of the committee, not the whaling ship. But just as importantly, Schiff is on a voyage to destroy President Trump, much like Ahab was obsessed over Moby Dick.
Schiff like Ahab is willing to lose almost anything to get Trump and in the end he just might allow the political whale to drag him to the depths of Washington D.C.’s swamp.
It is a tale often told in many novels and Schiff just happens to be that character. That Character. But we shouldn’t let him drag American taxpayer dollars and security down with him.

Lawmakers began the probe into the FBI’s handling of the investigation into the Trump campaign in January 2017. At the time, the House Committee on Intelligence was Chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes, and he worked diligently with investigators to uncover massive amounts of evidence that revealed malfeasance in the FBI, led to the firing of senior bureau officials and then was reinforced by investigations conducted by the DOJ’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Horowitz was not a Trump appointee but was appointed under President Obama.
Throughout all those years and despite numerous findings showing there was no collusion between Trump and Russia, including a final March, 2018 report, it didn’t matter.
Schiff continued to promise the American people that he had evidence proving the opposite.
In 2019, even after investigations cleared Trump, Schiff continued to lie to the American people. He said on ABC News at the time that there was evidence Trump conspired with Russia, saying there was “ample evidence of collusion in plain sight.”
“The obstruction of justice in particular in this case is far worse than anything that Richard Nixon did,” Schiff said. “I would say in every way this is more significant than Watergate…And the fact that a candidate for president and now president of the United States would not only not stand up and resist Russian interference in our election but would welcome it goes well beyond anything Nixon did.“
Where is the evidence? It was never there and he knew it. It didn’t matter because Schiff was using his position to target Trump.
Even though the March 2018 report found no evidence the Trump campaign conspired with Moscow, Schiff refused to allow those transcripts to go public until the White House threatened to release them first.
When that died down Schiff shifted to the Ukraine conspiracy, throwing his alleged whistleblowers into the spotlight, like Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman who used his position, along with others at the National Security Counsel to spy on Trump’s phone calls. Those classified phone calls, particularly the one with the Ukraine president, became the focal point of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s, and Schiff’s impeachment parade against Trump.
It rightfully failed and the Senate exonerated Trump but it tore the nation even further apart.
Moreover, millions of taxpayer dollars and time have been wasted by Schiff and his committee, which should be focused on real enemy states, actors and important oversight duties.
Schiff didn’t care then and now he doesn’t now, as he’s now pushing a new hoax during an election year and hoping that he can do whatever he can to tear Trump’s administration apart. He will do so even at the peril of the nation.
Schiff, like many Democrats and never-Trumpers, hates Trump more than they love America.
This new whistleblower is allegedly connected reporting all of his concerns to Schiff about issues with the Department of Homeland Security. He alleges that a reprisal complaint lists “serious wrongdoing” and an effort to hide reports about Russian interference into U.S. elections.
Once again, Russia, Russia, Russia.
“The whistleblower retaliation complaint filed by former Acting Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Brian Murphy outlines grave and disturbing allegations that senior White House and Department of Homeland Security officials improperly sought to politicize, manipulate, and censor intelligence in order to benefit President Trump politically,” Schiff said in a letter to Brian Murphy’s attorney. “This puts our nation and its security at grave risk.”
Really Schiff? A whistleblowers politicized allegations is putting our nation at risk? Our nation is at risk because you, along with your cronies in the Democratic party, have failed to do anything for the American people beyond your one-track Trump mind.
Think about it – beyond Trump. – has Schiff done anything that sticks out? Have there been any revelations that have shown his leadership in the Committee has been exemplary and that he’s doing the best for the American people?
What about COVID-19 “China’s virus” and how China, not Trump, failed the nation. What about Russia’s real interference in the 2016 election by leaking disinformation to former British spy Christopher Steele, who was using DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign funds to pay for his Russian sources. I think that’s something that we should look into.
What about the numerous lied that former CIA Director John Brennan, along with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress?
What about the current state of Al-Qaeda, ISIS and other extremists groups that are still targeting the United States?
What about Schiff’s own lies? Will Schiff ever actually be held accountable for those lies and for the wasted tax dollars spent chasing unicorns around the D.C. swamp to target Trump?
I doubt it. But remember what kind of person Schiff really is and realize it won’t be long before Schiff sinks his own ship.
