For more than forty years , the Iranian regime and its followers have made one thing clear : they want “ Death to America.
” With the United States ’ recent killing of ruthless Iranian General Qassem Suilemani , the hateful rhetoric has only increased .
Earlier this week , Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson , General Ramezan Sharif , addressed a crowd regarding his military ’ s actions .
Sharif ’ s statements sparked chants of ‘ Death to Israel , ’ ‘ Death to England ’ and ‘ Death to America.
’ He isn ’ t the only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leader , Iran ’ s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif , who some U.S. diplomats have attempted to say is more of a moderate , has also been accused of chanting those very same words in 2018 .
Oddly , Zarif is a graduate of San Francisco State University and the University of Denver .
San Francisco State ’ s Liberal & Creative Arts College website praised Zarif for his “ smiling diplomacy , ” and share articles referencing their former college graduate .
San Fransisco State ’ s Liberal and Creative Arts College @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This story will be updated if and when a response from the college is obtained .
Zarif spent time in between university stints working with the Iranian delegation at the United Nations .
SaraACarter.com requested comment from Iran ’ s Mission to the U.N. and will update the story if they choose to respond to our question : “ Did FM Zarif ’ s time at these American universities influence his hatred for America ?
” Zarif , who also served as Iran ’ s chief nuclear negotiator from 2013 to 2015 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If the United States takes any further action , Iran will respond accordingly and we will respond in a very harsh way…but proportionally.
” His final day on the job as chief nuclear negotiator was July 14 , 2015 .
That same day , Zarif led the Iranian negotiation in the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action , also known as the ‘ Iran nuclear deal.
’ Earlier this week , the United States denied Zarif a visa that would have enabled him to attend a U.N. Security Council meeting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the United States has been prevalent among Iranian leaders since the Islamic Revolution .
This is a regime that murders people who are not heterosexual , while calling for the destruction of Israel , the lone democracy in the Middle East and the only country in the region with gay rights .
Much of the world has been introduced to this tyrannical regime since the beginning of the new year .
The images from the live reports speak for themselves .
Female reporters like Martha Raddatz have been required to cover their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no country imprisons more female journalists than Iran and social media access is controlled by the government .
Since the Iranian Hostage Crisis , the world , and the Iranian people , have failed to quash this oppressive government .
Iran has expressed its animosity toward a number of nations including the United States , Israel , United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia .
Despite United Nations sanctions and resolutions , Iran has been able to cause terror around the world , with help from proxies like Hezbollah .
Those proxies pose threats outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ There are unquestionably [ Iranian ] sleeper cells in the United States , operated and directed by Iran , ” former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright told ‘ Fox and Friends ’ Wednesday .
“ We know that they usually operate in one , two or three individuals , normally men .
Almost exclusively Lebanese or Iranian descent.
” The warning signs have been evident for decades , yet the previous White House administration elected to send the Iranian government $ 150 billion ( including $ 1.8 billion in cash ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with that same corrupt leadership .
Every American has an opinion on what is going on right now .
But ask yourself one question : What have our leaders ( from 1978 to 2019 ) done in order to combat the threat posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran ?

Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham ( R-SC ) introduced a Senate resolution Friday urging the House to “ immediately transmit ” the articles of impeachment to the Senate .
In his resolution , Sen. Graham criticizes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for asserting “ the power to effectively veto a resolution passed by a duly elected majority of the House of Representatives ” and calls her refusal to pass the articles along to the Senate a “ gross infringement on the constitutional authority of the Senate to try impeachment.
” “ This resolution is a simple statement by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Senators to dispose of the articles that were lawfully passed .
The Speaker ’ s attempt to shape or delay the trial is unprecedented .
It can not stand , ” Sen. Graham said in a statement Thursday .
“ In addition , I am very pleased to see Democrats are raising their voices in support of the idea that Speaker Pelosi should transmit the Articles of Impeachment for disposition in the Senate .
I believe this is a turning point in the debate .
What the Speaker has been doing is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the President and the American people .
“ I hope and expect that this constitutional standoff will end soon .

saraacater--2020-01-10--Matt Gaetz: This Is Why I Voted With Democrats On The War Powers Resolution

“ I spoke to the president today.
” Rep. Matt Gaetz , ( R-FL ) said on “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” Thursday , “ The president told me he is more antiwar than I am , and I love the president for that .
The thing is , I think a few of the advisers of the president are trying to slow-walk the administration into war .
When the president relies on his instincts and we have the Trump doctrine , we kill the terrorist and we come home.
” “ I think this War Powers Resolution was worthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president , ” Gaetz said .
“ It did not say he was wrong in killing [ Quds Force Gen. ] Soleimani .
But…it did say that if any president wants to drag our nation into another forever Middle East war that they require the approval of the United States Congress.
” “ That ’ s something I deeply believe .
And I think it ’ s something the president deeply believes , ” Gaetz explained .
Tucker Carlson questioned Gaetz ’ s claim that his vote had Trump ’ s support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Tucker Carlson asked , “ you are one of three Republicans who voted , in effect , against the president ’ s stated position but you just talked to the president and he said that he is on your side ?
” “ Well , the president probably would have preferred that I vote with the other Republicans , ” Gaetz responded .
“ He [ Trump ] certainly said that .
I think on these broader questions of war and peace , Donald Trump understands that the pro-war candidate loses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the anti-war candidates that win .
” “ I think that the president understands that and he is too smart to let Nancy Pelosi try to cast him as the pro-war candidate , ” Gaetz explained .


saraacater--2020-01-12--Nunes: Defender Of Carter Page Surveillance Picked To Oversee FBI Reforms

Former Justice Department official David S. Kris was selected by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Friday to oversee the FBI ’ s reforms after Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed serious malfeasance within the FBI as it illegally spied on short term Trump campaign advisor Carter Page .
The twist , Kris , is an open critic of ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes ’ investigation into FISA abuse and defended Chairman Adam Schiff , D-CA , in his now debunked report on the FBI ’ s investigation into President Donald Trump and Russia .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI and according to multiple sources familiar with Kris he ’ s exactly what current FBI Director Christopher Wray will want to sweep the bureau ’ s malfeasance under a rug .
“ He ’ s not going to do anything because in the end Kris doesn ’ t believe there was anything wrong with what went on at the FBI , ” said a former law enforcement official .
“ His selection by the FISC is how bureaucrats protect themselves and could care less about the American people or the Constitution.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ objective into ensuring reforms are implemented inside the FBI and for the most secretive and controversial court in the United States ?
He ’ s not .
The FISC gives no explanation in its letter on Jan. 10 , as to why Kris was selected .
In fact , Judge James E. Boasberg , who now presides over the FISC , said Kris was selected to “ assist ” the FISC in assessing the FBI ’ s implementation of the 40 plus series of reforms Wray has said needed to be addressed .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ applications accurately and fully reflect information_known to the Bureau that is material to those applications .
In view of that significance , the Court , pursuant to 50 U.S.C .
§ 1803 ( i ) ( 2 ) ( B ) , finds it appropriate to appoint DavidS .
Kris , Esq.
, to serve as amicus curiae to assist the Court in assessing the government ’ s response to the December 17 , 2019 , ” said Boasberg in his letter .
Nunes told SaraACarter.com Sunday , that “ It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the FISC , and to help make sure that doesn ’ t happen again , the FISC chose an FBI apologist who denied and defended those lies .
The FISC is setting its own credibility on fire.
” But how can the FISC select Kris ?
Here ’ s just one example of many is a series of Tweets posted by Kris as recent as December , 2019 .
How can Kris be trusted to make any changes or oversee implementation of the FBI and its procedures with the FISC ?
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Kris stated in his report at Lawfare that the FBI ’ s actions were warranted in the Trump-Russia probe .
He attempted to tear apart the now substantiated Nunes report , revealing the FBI ’ s malfeasance and defended Rep. Adam Schiff ’ s investigation .
“ The Nunes memo was dishonest , ” said Kris .
“ And if it is allowed to stand , we risk significant collateral damage to essential elements of our democracy.
” He also stated that Nunes ’ could be charged with a crime , saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might be prosecuted for obstruction of justice.
” Kris went on to state : “ Almost four weeks ago , based on my experience with the FISA program and those who administer it , I expressed confidence that the government “ provided the court with enough information to meaningfully assess Steele ’ s credibility.
” It took a while , but with the benefit of the minority memo—even in redacted form—this has now been confirmed .
In other words , Nunes ’ s claim that the FBI misled the court was itself misleading.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the FISC court picked to preform the oversight of the FBI regulations to protect Americans from unwarranted and illegal surveillance .
Moreover , Kris accused Nunes of federal crimes and as far as this reporter can tell he never apologized or backdown from his assertions after Nunes ’ report was vindicated by Horowitz and the Department of Justice .
However , it was Kris ’ assertions and Schiff ’ s that were proven to be false .
It ’ s no surprise based on Kris is also a contributor to MSNBC .

He had all the authority he needed to protect troops in the field .
This was a defensive preemptive attack , ” continued Graham .
“ Can you imagine what our nation would look like if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paul , and AOC [ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ] …and we couldn ’ t defend the nation unless they all agreed.

saraacater--2020-01-12--Carter Page Says FBI’s SpyGate is ‘ just the tip of the iceberg’ Hints At Future Legal Action

Was President Donald Trump ’ s short term campaign foreign policy volunteer Carter Page set up by an FBI informant or the informant ’ s handler at the FBI ?
On the The Sara Carter Show , Page discussed the recent revelations in Department of Justice ’ s Inspector General Michael Horowitz ’ s report and his interview in The Federalist where questions surfaced regarding his first meeting with Stefan Halper , one of the FBI ’ s spies in the Trump campaign .
Questions still loom regarding Halper ’ s and his FBI handler .
It appears that Horowitz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions , said Page , who was not given the opportunity to review the report or discuss his circumstances with Horowitz .
Page , who was an officer in the Navy and graduate from Annapolis Naval Academy , assisted intelligence and law enforcement , said all he ever wanted to was “ to help his country.
” Unfortunately , Page became the target of some of very corrupted officials within the agencies he had assisted in the past .
They did this to target President Donald Trump .
Based on information Page revealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carter Show it appears that either Halper , or his FBI handler , didn ’ t tell the truth to Horowitz ’ s investigators about the circumstances surrounding Halper ’ s first meeting with Page .
Page told this reporter that the origination of his meeting with Halper must be investigated by Attorney General William Barr ’ s appointed prosecutor John Durham .
Page would not tell this reporter whether or not he ’ s already been interviewed by Durham but said he has always stressed that he would “ cooperate fully ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and CIA definitely made some very serious very egregious mistakes , but , you know one of the primary drivers of this was the Democratic National Committee and their operatives , ” said Page , referring to the DCN and Hillary Clinton campaign financing the debunked dossier through the private research firm Fusion GPS .
Fusion GPS hired former British spy Christopher Steele to compile the now debunked dossier , which was the main source for leaking false information on Trump and Page to the media .
The dossier ’ s information came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and suggested that Page was an asset of the Russian government , which was patently false .
“ I ’ ve been very cautious , ” said Page , regarding his concern over Halper ’ s contact with him .
“ I ’ ve been very meticulous , as you have been meticulous , Sara in your reporting .
I wan na know for sure .
I don ’ t point fingers at people until there is really some very solid evidence and it ’ s been firmly established that these things have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ received numerous death threats since stories began leaking about him in 2016 , told this reporter what the public knows is only “ the tip of the iceberg.
” Page said he is “ encouraged and appreciative that last month Inspector General Horowitz and his team started uncovering this , but there ’ s so much more and , to me , these life or death situations that the DNC disinformation campaign created for myself and so many other Trump supporters and volunteers on the Trump team that is a huge issue and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ ve talked about and just mentioned are really the tip of the iceberg.
” Moreover , Horowitz discovered in the course of his investigation that FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith altered and omitted extensive information on Page when he submitted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to the secret court in order to spy on Page .
The information Clinesmith omitted was that Page had been cleared by the CIA and that he had been assisting the CIA with information on Russians .
“ You know , again , I had worked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many years and so you know I had a long series of meetings about ten plus hours in March of 2017 , just a couple months after the election , ” said Page , regarding his meetings with Clinesmith in 2017 .
Clinesmith , along with other FBI agents , were well aware at the time that Page was being defamed by the media and that the disinformation being spread through main stream outlets was false .
During his interview with The Federalist , which listed out the FBI ’ s 17 significant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surveillance applications , noted that the agents interviewed by the Inspector General reiterated that they launched the July , 31 , 2016 Crossfire Hurricane probe and used Halper because of pure coincidences .
What ?
Really , they expect the public to buy this unbelievable explanation , he stated with regard to the knew information that was inaccurate in the IG report .
Let me explain , Halper ’ s handler told the IG that it was “ serendipitous ” that Halper , referred to in the IG report as Source 2 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their four subjects , including Carter Page.
” The FBI agents told Horowitz ’ s team that “ couldn ’ t believe [ their ] luck.
” Halper ’ s handler said it was during that time that he learned that his source , Halper , also knew Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort .
The FBI source also asked Halper to target George Papadopolous and Sam Clovis , a senior campaign aide at the time .
“ I hope we start getting some honest answers sometime soon , ” he told me during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got some honest answers in the Inspector General report , but it ’ s very incomplete and there are many inaccuracies in there.
” As for Page ’ s future and the next steps in his ongoing lawsuits to seek justice against some of the most powerful bureaucracies in the country : “ I ’ m definitely taking some important actions and I ’ ve got a great team of great legal experts who are helping me on that and I ’ ve been literally working round the clock with our team over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last couple of months , ” said Page .
“ I think as you correctly alluded to I ’ ll have more to say on that real soon so stay tuned .

Texas will not take part in the resettlement of refugees in 2020 , according to Texas Governor Greg Abbott ( R ) , who informed U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of his decision Friday in a letter .
The letter was written in response to President Trump ’ s Executive Order 13888 , which deals with enhancing state involvement in refugee resettlement .
“ Since ( 2010 ) , more refugees have been received in Texas than in any other state , ” Gov .
Abbott wrote in his letter .
“ In fact , over that decade , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the United States have been placed in Texas .
Even today , the process of resettling continues for many of these refugees.
” Abbott cites poor vetting as a reason for this decision .
“ In June 2019 , individuals from 52 different countries were apprehended here , ” the governor added .
“ And in ( 2018 ) , the apprehensions included citizens from disparate countries like China , Iran , Kenya , Russia , and Tonga .
Texas continues to have to deal with the consequences of an immigration system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Governor Abbott says that his duty is to protect the people of Texas .
“ At this time , the state and non-profit organizations have a responsibility to dedicate available resources to those who are already here , including refugees , migrants and homeless—indeed all Texans , ” said Abbott .
“ As a result , Texas can not consent to initial refugee resettlement for ( 2020 ) .
” Gov .
Abbott concluded his letter with the following thoughts : “ Texas has carried more than its share in assisting the refugee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are available to help with these efforts.
” So far , Texas is the only state to take this position .

saraacater--2020-01-13--Rep. Meadows: Lawmakers Will Appeal To FISC Judge To Remove David Kris From FBI Review

North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows told “ The Sara Carter Show ” Monday that he – along with other senior Republican lawmakers – will send a letter to the presiding Judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court demanding that FBI apologist David Kris be removed from overseeing bureau reforms demanded by the secret court .
Kris , who openly criticized Republican lawmakers and defended the bureau ’ s spying of short-term Trump campaign advisor Carter Page , is coming under heavy scrutiny for his online posts and blogs targeting Republican lawmakers investigations that uncovered malfeasance at the bureau .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Inspector General Michael Horowitz ’ s damning report last month revealed that FBI officials had omitted critical information about Page and altered the FISA application to get the needed approval of the court to spy on him .
However , without any explanation as to why Kris was selected , on Jan. 10 , Judge James E. Boasberg , who now presides over the FISC , said Kris was selected to “ assist ” the secret court in assessing the FBI ’ s ongoing review and changes .
“ It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fully reflect information known to the Bureau that is material to those applications , ” said Boasberg in his letter .
This reporter asked Meadows if the selection of Kris was more of a ‘ white wash ’ to bury the truth of what occurred with the FBI ’ s FISA application to spy on Page .
There is also extraordinary concern that Page ’ s application may not have been the only one altered by FBI officials seeking warrants to spy on Americans .
This was made clear in the first letter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rosemary Collyer in December , where she called “ into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable.
” She gave the FBI until Jan. 10 , to fix the problems .
Meadows warned that if the necessary changes are not made in the bureau , Congress may not reauthorize the FISA in March , when it comes up for review .
“ I can tell you that a few of us , are not only appealing this to the Judge who has now taken over the FISA process but we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes to renewing the FISA process within Congress , ” Meadows told this reporter .
“ There ’ s a renewal of a section of the FISA that is coming up .
I ’ ll be talking to ( former Chairman ) Bob Goodlatte , who used to be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee – is now working from the outside , is retired- we ’ re now working very actively with the administration to make sure that no American , not just the President of the United States , not Carter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few people but to ensure that no American ’ s civil liberties were actually infringed upon , and that ’ s what happened here.
” “ Not only did it happen , but it happened deliberately and until we fix it all Americans are at risk , ” Meadows warned .
Meadows said it was inexplicable that Kris was selected to review the changes suggested by FBI Director Christopher Wray to the bureau ’ s procedures in handling FISA warrants .
“ When you look at his twitter feed , when you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made not only did he go after Devin Nunes but he ’ s gone after the President , he ’ s a contributor for MSNBC at times , ” said Meadows .
Rep. Devin Nunes , R-CA , told SaraACarter.com on Sunday that the selection of Kris by the FISC is “ a ridiculous choice .
The FBI lied to the FISC , and to help make sure that doesn ’ t happen again , the FISC chose an FBI apologist who denied and defended those lies .
The FISC is setting its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when you look at just his politics there ’ s no way that he can fix the problem , if he doesn ’ t even acknowledge that there is a problem .
And I say that , as the most recent IG report when Inspector General Horowitz came out and said ‘ there was a problem , ’ ( Kris ) down played it , ” Meadows said .
Meadows added , “ well you and I both know about the abuses that took place , we knew it before the IG ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know that there ’ s more that will come out as John Durham continues his investigation but this is a critical time .

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham responded to an open-letter Sunday from thirteen of her predecessors , calling on her to hold a press briefing .
The White House has not held a press briefing since Grisham succeeded Sarah Huckabee Sanders on July 1 , 2019 .
In a CNN story ‘ Why America needs to hear from its government , ’ thirteen press secretaries ( who worked in the Clinton , Obama and both Bush administrations ) , opine , “ We respectfully urge the resumption of regular press briefings across our government , especially in the places where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world want information , and where all of us , hopefully , want to see American values reflected.
” Grisham , who also serves as White House Communications Director responded to those press secretaries in an interview with Axios on Sunday .
“ They can publicly pile on all they want , ” Grisham said of the signatories .
“ It ’ s unfortunate , because I ’ ve always felt I was in this small club of only twenty nine others who really know what I deal with each day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They may not say it publicly , but they all understand why I do things differently .
They know I have three roles.
” In addition , Grisham delivered a message to members of the White House press corps .
“ The press has unprecedented access to President Trump , yet they continue to complain because they can ’ t grandstand on TV , ” she told Axios .
“ They ’ re not looking for information , they ’ re looking for a moment .
This president is unorthodox in everything he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rewritten the rules of politics .
His press secretary and everyone else in the administration is reflective of that.
” Some of these unconventional exchanges include the President meeting with members of the press prior to boarding Marine One and sharing his thoughts on Twitter .
Grisham ended her statement to Axios by saying , “ my team and I are always available to the press .

saraacater--2020-01-14--McCabe And Robert Mueller’s Pit Bull Top Speakers On Reforming FISA. Yes, Really.

Just when you thought it couldn ’ t get stranger – it does .
Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former Robert Mueller Special Counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann are two of four speakers at a public event Jan. 16 , on FISA reform at New York University ’ s School of Law ’ s Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security .
“ This event is free and open to the public , ” the website states .
“ Lunch will be served.
” Further , if you ’ re a student you can get “ 1.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Areas of Professional Practice category will be available.
” McCabe ’ s bio on the website omits that he was fired by former Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions for lying repeatedly to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz about leaking information to the media .
By the way , McCabe later admitted he lied and then apologized for lying to agents who had spent weeks investigating who the source was that leaked to the Wall Street Journal , according to documents obtained by the watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ his former boss fired FBI Director James Comey that agents altered and omitted significant information the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application on short term campaign volunteer Carter Page .
Page is now seeking legal remedies against the government .
It ’ s because of this lawmakers want to overhaul the FISA courts and reform it .
Still , NYU School of Law is asking McCabe to share his thoughts and ideas on what needs to be reform the FBI and the FISA process .
Moreover , Weissmann , who was touted as former Special @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and who has been criticized for what some have called unscrupulous antics in past cases will also be offering his two cents on FISA reform .
If you don ’ t think that ’ s interesting enough , the presiding Judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court appointed a FBI apologist and former Obama administration Justice Department lawyer David Kris to oversee the FBI ’ s FISA reform changes .
It ’ s the fox guarding the hen house on all fronts .
Or as one source , whose been wrapped up into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s “ Dracula guarding the blood bank.
” First , Kris ’ selection by FISA is perplexing .
He supported the FBI ’ s surveillance of Page and who openly criticized Rep. Devin Nunes ’ Russia report , which has now been vindicated by Horowitz .
After the FISC announced their selection of Kris , Republican lawmakers scrambled to understand how a biased lawyer , who openly advocated for the FBI and criticized President Trump was selected .
There was no explanation .
Rep. Mark Meadows told The Sara Carter Show Monday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are preparing to send a letter to the FISC demanding that Kris be removed .
Reforming FISA reform is now a top priority for Republicans since the release of Horowitz ’ s most recent report , which outlined “ at least 17 significant errors ” with the application process regarding Page .
After a December hearing , which Horowitz testified , Senate Republicans said they would they were willing to work on fixing the FISA abuses .
Nunes , Meadows and numerous other lawmakers have told SaraACarter.com that FISA may not be renewed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reauthorization .
Further , it may have to be dismantled and restructured all-together in an effort to clean up the corrupted practices conducted by senior government officials who openly abused the system .

saraacater--2020-01-14--Who Are The 2020 Women’s March Speakers? The Organization Says No One.

The fourth annual women ’ s march will not feature any speakers this year and will instead host a “ Week of Action ” leading up to the event , the organization tells SaraACarter.com .
A spokesperson for the Women ’ s March told this reporter that the organization is “ doing things a bit differently.
” Instead , the spokesperson said there will be a ‘ week ’ s worth of events ’ leading up to the march and included a link to the schedule of events .
The week will kick off with the first event Tuesday evening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Justice , & The 2020 Landscape.
” Heading the discussion will be Kelley Robinson , Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund & Katie O ’ Connor , Demand Justice , and Fatima Goss Graves , President and CEO of the National Women ’ s Law Center .
Many of these women have been outspoken opponents of the Trump administration and its policies .
Tuesday ’ s panel will feature Jane Liu , Legal Director of the National Asian Pacific American Women ’ s Forum ( NAPAWF ) , Aza Nedhari , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Simpson , Executive Director of SisterSong , and Ilana Solomon , National Campaigns Director of NARAL .
Since it ’ s inception , the Women ’ s March has been riddled with anti-Trump messaging .
The organization also found itself at the center of a scandal promoting anti-Semitic speakers including Linda Sarsour and it ’ s co-chairs Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez , who openly supported Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan who once called Jews ‘ termites.
’ Tablet Magazine ’ s extensive report on the matter exposed that .
Several key @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) and several of it ’ s key politicians including Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz ( D-FL ) .
“ While I still firmly believe in its values and mission , I can not associate with the national march ’ s leaders and principles , which refuse to completely repudiate anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry , ” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz wrote in a USA Today op-ed .
“ I can not walk shoulder to shoulder with leaders who lock arms with outspoken peddlers of hate.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crowd sizes .
It ’ s unclear if that ’ s a reflection of the anti-Semitism controversy or the freezing weather that day .
Sara A. Carter spoke with marchers in a “ Hannity ” exclusive last year .
“ I think it was shocking… for me it was really disturbing that a lot of the people that I spoke with didn ’ t just take a step back and say ‘ absolutely , we condemn it .
It ’ s completely anti-Semitic ’ .
I brought out the statements that were made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ directly : do you condemn these statements and so many people had such a difficult time actually saying that they condemned the statements and that was really disturbing , ” Carter told Hannity .
She continued , “ On the other hand , there were a lot of young people marching , some of them didn ’ t even know what was going on the week prior , they didn ’ t even understand what the controversy was about others just wanted to stay away from it altogether and some… on the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , they did condemn it and that they were showing up anyways because this was part of their cause this is something that they wanted to be a part of despite the leadership.
” This year ’ s march will take place on Jan. 18 .
Following the march , there will be a drag brunch on Sunday where Rep. Ayanna Pressley ( D-MA ) will be accepting via video message .

The lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein ’ s former cellmate is requesting a probe into why surveillance video from July 22-23 , 2019 was destroyed .
Epstein was found on July 23 with a bedsheet around his neck inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center ( MCC ) in Manhattan .

Michael Flynn , former Trump National Security Advisor , filed a motion late Tuesday night to withdraw his guilty plea in what has been a tumultuous court battle against Department of Justice prosecutors , who Flynn claims breached the plea agreement and operated with bad faith .
Flynn ’ s defense attorney Sidney Powell stated in the most recent motion that Flynn “ hereby moves to withdraw his plea because of the government ’ s bad faith , vindictiveness , and breach of the plea agreement.

Pennsylvania is set to play a major role in deciding the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election .
Key battleground areas include Pennsylvania ’ s 17th Congressional district , which encompasses all of Beaver and parts of Allegheny and Butler counties .
The 17th district ’ s seat is currently held by incumbent Conor Lamb ( D ) , who is serving his first full term in the House of Representatives .
With each election , voter fraud is a concern , particularly in swing states .

However , Donald Trump won every other Western Pennsylvania county in that election .
According to Judicial Watch , more than 15 % of registered voters in Allegheny County are inactive .
The county is divided into two Congressional districts : Pennsylvania ’ s 17th and 18th .
In 2018 , Rep. Mike Doyle ( D ) , who is currently serving his 13th term in Congress , ran unopposed in the newly-redrawn 18th district that includes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Watch has sent letters to four Pennsylvania counties ( including Allegheny ) , promising a federal lawsuit if the voter rolls are not purged of inactive voters within 90 days .
“ Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections and Judicial Watch will insist , in court if necessary , that states follow federal law to clean up their voting rolls , ” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement .
“ It is common sense that voters who die or move away be removed from the voting rolls.
” Feeling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Elections has responded to this request .
The board informed CBS Pittsburgh that they have started the process of removing 69,000 inactive voters this year .

Prior to joining Judicial Watch , Mr. Popper worked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chief of the Voting Section , in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice .

“ The EAC publishes a report every two years .
In this report , which comes out every odd-numbered year , they collate all of the answers to certain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the counties and state in the country.
” Popper says that there are about 3,000 counties in the nation and that Judicial Watch typically have enough date to analyze about 2,600 of them .
The first thing they look for are counties with high registration rates .
Judicial Watch found that 378 counties nationwide have more voter registrations than citizens ages 18 or older who are able vote .
“ Allegheny County does not quite have that level of registration , ” Popper told this reporter .
“ They have a registration rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still implausible and is exceedingly unlikely .
Typical registration rates are from the mid-70s to low-80s .
Often there are inactive registrations but it ’ s rare that there are as many as there are in Allegheny County.

Former Alabama Senator and Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Fox News host Laura Ingraham Wednesday night that moderate Republicans will have to recognize that there ’ s no case for impeaching President Donald Trump ahead of the Senate trial .
“ It ’ s time for them to toughen up .
There is not an impeachment case here .
This is a terrible terrible abuse of the awesome impeachment power in and the first time this has ever happened in our history and it should not be done , ” Sessions told Ingraham .

saraacater--2020-01-17--Women’s March Leaders Won’t Acknowledge Last Year’s Anti-Semitism

The fourth annual Women ’ s March Saturday will not feature any speakers and it ’ s unclear why .
At the organization ’ s press conference Friday , this reporter asked if the decision was made to avoid last year ’ s controversy that tied several of the group ’ s leaders to antisemitic hate groups and the organization ’ s failure to condemn those ties .
“ We are not having speakers this year and we are marching with the marchers because we feel like that ’ s where the energy is with the movement , ” Women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ O ’ Leary Carmona told this reporter .
She concluded , “ We want to be with the people and where they are at and it ’ s not about listening to people talk , it ’ s about exercising your own power and your own agency and taking the fight right to the White House.
” Last year , O ’ Leary Carmona acknowledged the issue and said the organization “ was learning how to do this work in a new way.
” “ There ’ s no map for what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re working it out , ” she said .
With no clear indication as to whether 2019 ’ s antisemitism controversy influenced the change to not have speakers in 2020 , the question still remains .
2019 ’ s Co-chairs Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez made several antisemitic statements including allegedly saying that the Jews “ bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people , ” according to the Tablet .
Moreover , Mallory publicly revered Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan .
The Southern Poverty Law Center calls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racist and antisemitic.
’ Mallory once shared a picture on Instagram calling him the “ GOAT ” which stands for “ Greatest Of All Time , ” but many Jewish people and their allies would argue that ’ s not the case .
Farrakhan lambasted ‘ the wicked Jews ’ in an antisemitic speech he made during a ceremony celebrating the genesis of the Nation of Islam in 2006 .
It wasn ’ t the first time or the last .
He said , “ These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength .
… It ’ s the wicked Jews , the false Jews , that are promoting lesbianism , homosexuality .
It ’ s the wicked Jews , false Jews , that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God , then they call you homophobic !
” Several large groups of supporters including the Democratic National Committee , the Southern Poverty Law Center , EMILY ’ s List , and the National Council of Jewish Women pulled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the overwhelming reaction , the organization failed to condemn Farrakhan or its ties to the Nation of Islam .
Last year on ABC ’ s “ The View ” Mallory argued , “ I didn ’ t call him the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric , I called him the greatest of all time because of what he ’ s done in black communities.
” From the press conference Friday , it ’ s clear the organization will certainly rally around cries to oust President Donald Trump from the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , everyone has been asking the same question .
Who can beat Trump ?
I stand here today to say that the answer is simply… I can beat Trump and so can you but only if we fight him and his cronies together and only if we continue to make space for those he wants to make invisible , ” Women ’ s March Executive Board Member and Mijente Deputy Director Isa Noyola told reporters .
She continued , “ I will beat Trump by continuing the organizing work that uplifts immigrant communities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fight for climate justice and reproductive justice .
We will beat Trump if we can continue to remind one another that we have more in common with our neighbor of a different nationality than we have in common with the men in power who seek to divide us .

There is an awakening in American black communities under President Donald Trump because for the first time Owens said there is a president that is actually keeping his promises to the people , he said .
“ If anyone in your audience out there runs across a black American with a MAGA hat on , shake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ They ’ re fighting the fight .
They ’ re the ones that are now on the frontlines.
” He said , however , that groups like the NAACP , the Congressional Black Caucus and what he describes as ‘ elitists… ” are the same no matter what color they are.
” “ When I look back on our history it has not been the white supremacists that have done the most damage , it ’ s also been black elitists… the black caucus , the NAACP those who live the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of hope out of our community as they go out and live their lives of power , and fame , and fortune , ” he said .

So we have to get that back.
” “ Again , we have to remember the war we ’ re fighting now is not new , it hasn ’ t been just decades , it ’ s a war we ’ ve been fighting from the very beginning of our nation , ” he said .
Owens discussed how the black community rose from the horror and bondage of slavery to successfully become an active part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the establishment in 1882 of Tuskegee University , in Tuskegee Alabama , by Booker T. Washington saying that by “ 1905 that little college was producing more self-made millionaires than Harvard , Yale and Princeton combined.
” “ The black community believes in the American way , ” said Owens .
“ Think about a race that came out of slavery and for the first time had a chance to experience freedom you know to have a business , to run a family , to actually have a dream that you can control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that mindset experiencing it for the first time , we were all in .

Twitter suspended the official account of Nation of Islam leader , Louis Farrakhan , on Saturday before reinstating it later in the day .
Around 12:30 p.m. Saturday , his account was no longer suspended .
Farrakhan is known for his anti-Semitic rhetoric and frequently rallies against the state of Israel .

This reporter reached out to Twitter and the Nation of Islam for a response to the discrepancies on the official Louis Farrakhan Twitter account .
This story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respond .
Since as far back as 1990 , he has made hate speeches against the Jewish people .
“ The Jews , a small handful , control the movement of this great nation , like a radar controls the movement of a great ship in the waters…The Jews got a stranglehold on the Congress , ” Farrakhan said at his Saviours ’ Day speech , in Chicago , on Feb. 25 , 1990 .
The Southern Poverty Law Center labels Farrakhan as “ an antisemite who routinely accuses Jews of manipulating the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world power.
” In 2018 , he tweeted , “ I ’ m not an anti-Semite .
I ’ m anti-Termite.
” Farrakhan has also been tied to leaders of The Women ’ s March .
The march ’ s co-chair , Tamika , Mallory once shared a picture on Instagram calling him the “ GOAT ” which stands for “ Greatest Of All Time.
” In fact , the fourth annual Women ’ s March Saturday will not feature any speakers .
The group ’ s organizers wouldn ’ t say to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ avoid last year ’ s controversy that tied several of the group ’ s leaders to antisemitic hate groups and the organization ’ s failure to condemn those ties .

Transcript from Sen. Amy Klobuchar interview with the editorial board of The New York Times : Besides a few boyfriends that still gave me money when I asked them ?
[ LAUGHTER ] Who has broken my heart ?
O.K.
, so here we go .
Lindsey Graham ’ s broken my heart lately in the political system .
Senator Lindsey Graham has transformed from a Trump critic , who called the president “ xenophobic ” and “ race-baiting , ” to one of his most staunch supporters .
He told The Times Magazine , “ If you don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re in the wrong business.
” Just because I like him and know him really well and traveled with him and Senator McCain all over the , all over the world .
I ’ m just more thinking of Senator McCain and how much I miss him right now because I think he would have been really strong on Ukraine and on standing up against some of the things the president did and he ’ s no longer with us .
And Lindsey and McCain and I were actually on the front @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blizzard on New Year ’ s Eve , and I think about this now every New Year ’ s Eve — because John McCain wanted to show — after Trump got elected — wanted to show those countries that we were on their side .
And so of course I was disappointed with how the Kavanaugh hearing was handled .
I think everyone could see me on TV to see that , but I just hope that he has the ability to rise up here , and has a very important job right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and certainly smart enough and has shown some tendency in the past to stand up for things and I just wish he would do it again when it comes to this conduct and a whole range of issues about our judicial system .

Those documents span a time period from January , 2017 until May 2017 , just before the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller .
However , Barr has already suggested at the expansive nature of Durham ’ s probe in December and hinted at the discoveries .
And in October , 2019 reports revealed that Durham had expanded the scope of his investigation and would investigate not only the origin of the bureau probe into Trump ’ s campaign but also the post-election timeline .
Barr said in an interview @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ should spend just as much attention on the post-election period ” noting that the probe will not just focus on the origins of the investigation .
Barr said he asked Durham to look at the post Trump election because “ of some of the stuff that Horowitz has uncovered which to me is inexplicable.
” Department of Justice spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told SaraACarter.com she could not comment on Durham ’ s ongoing investigation .
She gave no indication as to when , or if , a report will be issued on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been given full declassification authority by Trump , eluded in an interview that Durham may finish his probe by Spring or early this summer .
According to sources , the documents already uncovered by Horowitz and the alleged new documents discovered by Durham are significant .

Those being looked into by Durham are former CIA Director John Brennan , fired FBI Director James Comey , fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe , among others .
Durham ’ s team has already interviewed numerous personnel at the CIA and according to sources “ those questioned are very nervous about the direction of Durham ’ s investigation.
” Durham is looking into the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia , in which Brennan has stated that the CIA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Steele ’ s debunked dossier .
Horowitz discovered during his office ’ s investigation of the FBI FISA review that the uncorroborated dossier was used in obtaining the warrant to spy on Page .
Horowitz ’ s explosive report also revealed that significant information on Page was omitted from the report and that other information was altered by FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith .
Page had actually assisted the CIA in reporting on Russia – a significant fact that was omitted and changed in the application that was submitted to the secret court .

The Office of Net Assessment awarded Halper multiple contracts that totaled over $ 1 million dollars .

Those subjects included short term campaign advisors Carter Page and George Papadopolous , as well as Gen Flynn .
Moreover , Barr has already hinted at the fact that Durham has acquired new and possibly damning documents as he suggested in a NBC News interview in December when he said Durham is “ looking at the issue of how it got started .
He ’ s looking at whether or not the narrative of Trump being involved in the Russian interference @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the precipitating trigger for the investigation , and he ’ s also looking at the conduct of the investigation.
” Barr also said there “ are some things that were done in the investigation that are not included in [ DOJ Inspector General Michael ] Horowitz ’ s report .

Durham ’ s team is tight lipped about the investigation but according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ role in the bureau ’ s investigation .

Svetlana Lokhova is suing numerous media outlets , as well as FBI informant Stefan Halper , for defamation and tells The Sara Carter Show that she was used as a target of opportunity by the FBI in an attempt to discredit former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and target President Donald Trump .
Lokhova , a Russian born British scholar , calls Halper “ the dirty trickster.
” She says his past connections to these agencies and the FBI is a ‘ big tell ’ as to why he was used to used to gather information on the Trump campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agencies in the United States with an $ 80 billion budget you have thousands if not tens of thousands of trained people working for your intelligence services and , yet , they seek out this complete outsider ( Halper ) right he ’ s not a trained investigator , ” she says , describing Halper as an overweight 74 year old .
“ He ’ s somebody whose known…has a history of being involved in every single scandal for over forty years , ” said Lokhova .
She says Halper ’ s money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t the only one .
Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley ’ s sent a letter last year demanding answers on Halper ’ s contracts and the Office of Net Assessment .
Grassley sent the request in a letter to Department of Defense Acting Secretary Mark Esper , after a Pentagon Inspector General investigation discovered that the office failed to conduct appropriate oversight of the contracts .
Grassley urged Esper for the information .
According to Grassley ’ s office it is currently reviewing information sent from the Pentagon .
“ The committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pentagon , in response to Grassley ’ s request , ” Taylor Foy , a spokesman for the committee , said in an earlier interview with this news site .
Foy confirmed Grassley is continuing to investigate the matter .
According to the DoD Inspector General ’ s report the Office of Net Assessment ( ONA ) Contracting Officer ’ s Representatives ( CORs ) “ did not maintain documentation of the work performed by Professor Halper or any communication that ONA personnel had with Professor Halper ; therefore , ONA CORs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Halper conducted all of his work in accordance with applicable laws and regulations .
We determined that while the ONA CORs established a file to maintain documents , they did not maintain sufficient documentation to comply with all the FAR requirements related to having a complete COR.
” Lokhova tells me at length about the erroneous and inaccurate articles published about her and Flynn .
She says it turned her life upside down .
She also discusses the toll the lawsuits are taking on her family financially and why she intends to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ details about the malicious targeting operation against her .
She says the DOJ must examine Halper ’ s financial trail that began at the Office of Net Assessment at the Pentagon .
This , she says , will expose the Russia Hoax Origins .
Halper was used to spread malicious lies about her in an operation that utilized her brief encounter with Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn at a dinner 2014 at the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar as a way of spreading malicious lies about her , she said .
She has filed numerous lawsuits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virginia , and is seeking more than $ 25 million in damages from Halper , The Wall Street Journal , The New York Times , The Washington Post and MSNBC .
