Manhattan suspect freed without bail Friday in assault case is busted again By New York Daily News, January 12, 2019: Serial assault suspect Eugene Webb became a two-time winner under New York’s lenient new bail laws at a court hearing Saturday night. At Webb’s arraignment on his second arrest within a week, a Manhattan Criminal Court judge decided the law that took effect Jan. 1 barred him from ordering Webb to post cash or bond to avoid being jailed while awaiting trial. Normally, such a decision would have allowed Webb, 26, to walk free. But Judge Michael Gaffey came up with another solution — he ordered Webb to be taken to a hospital. “Based upon the recent acts and the assaults on people, and based upon the evidence that I see here before me and the aspects, Mr. Webb appears confused and disheveled,” the judge said. “And based upon that, I believe that he may have mental illness and may be a harm to himself, to others.” The suspect was escorted out of the courtroom by a half-dozen officers. It wasn’t clear what hospital he’d be sent to. Webb was busted Friday for his hostile panhandling outside a Greenwich Village bank, said police. That bust came just eight hours after he was freed without bail on charges he physically assaulted three Manhattan women. Webb admitted he was high after smoking synthetic marijuana in between his Friday release and his latest arrest, sources indicated.

pamelagellerreport--2020-01-12--WTF: VIDEO: FISA selects former Obama admin lawyer, left-wing blogger to oversee FBI’s surveillance

WTF: VIDEO: FISA selects former Obama admin lawyer, left-wing blogger to oversee FBI’s surveillance reforms

@ realdonaldtrump must do a massive purge .
it ’ s not just this , it ’ s an army – guys like Eric Treene are still at the DoJ All Obamites must go , they are enemies of Americanism.President Trump must do a massive purge .
It ’ s an army – guys like Eric Treene are still at the DoJ .
All Obamites must go , they are enemies of individual rights , the Constitution and Americanism .
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ( FISC ) has stunned court-watchers by selecting David Kris — a former Obama administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rachel Maddow Show ” and written extensively in support of the FBI ’ s surveillance practices on the left-wing blog Lawfare — to oversee the FBI ’ s implementation of reforms in the wake of a damning Department of Justice Inspector general report last year .
The development on Friday , first reported by independent journalist Mike Cernovich , has roiled Republicans who have demanded accountability at the FBI .
House Intelligence Commitee ranking member Devin Nunes , R-Calif. , told The Daily Caller that Kris ’ appointment was “ shocking ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard to imagine a worse person the FISC could have chosen outside [ James ] Comey , [ Andy ] McCabe , or [ Adam ] Schiff , ” Nunes said .
Speaking to Fox News contributor Sara Carter , Nunes added : “ It ’ s 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 own credibility on fire.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Futures , ” Nunes reminded anchor Maria Bartiromo that Kris had panned the now-vindicated 2018 memo produced by Nunes ’ panel , which asserted a series of surveillance abuses by the FBI against former Trump aide Carter Page .
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz later substantiated Nunes ’ claims , noting that the FBI had made numerous materially false representations to the FISC .
“ Of all the people in the swamp … this is the guy that you come up with ?
” Nunes asked .
“ The guy that was accusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was defending the dirty cops at the FBI ?
… The court must be trying to abolish itself .
There is long-term damage.
” President Trump then referenced Nunes ’ interview with Bartiromo on Twitter on Sunday afternoon , calling Kris “ highly controversial ” and slamming the FISC ’ s decision .
FISA COURT REBUKES FBI , BUT LEAVES OUT KEY PLAYERS AT THE BUREAU , INCLUDING LITTLE-KNOWN AGENT PIENTKA “ You can ’ t make this up !
” Trump wrote .
“ David Kris , a highly controversial former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the FISA [ Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ] Court to oversee reforms to the FBI ’ s surveillance procedures .
Zero credibility .
THE SWAMP !
” Kris argued on Lawfare in March 2018 that Nunes had “ tried to deceive the American people in precisely the same way that it falsely accused the FBI of deceiving the FISA Court.
” Additionally , Kris claimed that “ had the FBI done in its FISA applications what Nunes did in his memo , heads would have rolled on Pennsylvania Avenue.
” He asserted , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ met that legal standard and that there was probable cause to conclude he was a Russian agent.
” “ The Nunes memo was dishonest , ” Kris chargred .
“ And if it is allowed to stand , we risk significant collateral damage to essential elements of our democracy.
” Kris was a former assistant attorney general for national security who worked at the DOJ from 2009 to 2011 , and served as an associate deputy attorney general under George W. Bush from 2000 to 2003 .
He later criticized Bush ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as the political winds changed , Kris became more of a proponent for government surveillance in other contexts .
He appeared on MSNBC ’ s left-wing “ The Rachel Maddow Show ” in 2018 to offer a spirited defense of the FBI ’ s FISA practices .
“ FISA applications are typically quite long — they ’ re big enough that you don ’ t want to drop one on your foot , ” Kris told Maddow .
“ They contain a lot of information and detail , because the statute is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government to establish to get the warrant granted.
” Commenting on whether unredacting FISA materials posed a challenge to the FBI ’ s investigation , Kris remarked that “ a lot of water [ was ] already under the bridge thanks to the back-and-forth precipitated ” by Nunes — knocking the key House Republican for pushing to release some of the secretive documents .
Kris added : “ These applications already substantially undermine the president ’ s narrative and that of his proxies , and it seems to me very likely that if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ iceberg and into the submerged parts and more is revealed , it ’ s going to get worse , not better .
And it would potentially be dangerous to disclose additional information because some of this relates to ongoing investigations.
” On Twitter , Kris also insisted the “ walls ” were “ closing in ” on Trump — a common refrain on liberal cable news networks during the Russia probe .
Nevertheless , FISC presiding Judge James E. Boasberg , in a Friday order , said that Kris would be an “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assessing the government ’ s response ” to its previous order demanding changes at the FBI .
In December , the FISC ordered the FBI to re-verify all previous warrant applications involving the FBI attorney who falsified evidence against Page .
Fox News learned , however , that the court did not order the FBI to double-check warrant applications involving other officials who made key omissions and errors in warrant applications as the bureau sought to surveil Page .
The FISC ’ s failure to request a comprehensive evaluation of previous submissions frustrated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being done to deter future misconduct by the FBI .
In the past , the FISC has gone so far as to prohibit some FBI agents from appearing before the court after finding impropriety .
In response to Horowitz ’ s recent report into FBI surveillance abuses , FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the bureau “ embraces the need for thoughtful , meaningful remedial action.
” Also last Friday , the FBI filed a new response to the FISC ’ s request for more information .
In the lengthy filing , Wray @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bureau planned to take in the future .
“ The FBI has the utmost respect for this court , and deeply regrets the errors and omissions identified by the [ Justice Department inspector general ] , ” Wray wrote .
“ FISA is an indispensable tool in national security investigations , and in recognition of our duty of candor to the court and our responsibilities to the American people , the FBI is committed to working with the court and DOJ to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the FISA process.
” Wray @ @ @ @ @ @ @ begin teaching a “ case study ” using Horowitz ’ s findings , and would ensure that the FISC was “ apprised of all information in the FBI ’ s holdings at the time of an application that would be relevant to a determination of probable cause.
” “ Critically , the FBI must also balance the implementation of these actions with its ongoing responsibility to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States , during a time of ever-present threats to our national security , ” Wray went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI has devoted—and will continue to devote—a substantial amount of time , thought and effort to striking this balance , while paying scrupulous attention to its duty of candor to the court and maintaining the trust of the American people.

VIDEO: FISA selects former Obama admin lawyer, left-wing blogger to oversee FBI’s surveillance reforms
By Gregg Re, January 12, 2020:
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has stunned court-watchers by selecting David Kris — a former Obama administration lawyer who has appeared on “The Rachel Maddow Show” and written extensively in support of the FBI’s surveillance practices on the left-wing blog Lawfare — to oversee the FBI’s implementation of reforms in the wake of a damning Department of Justice Inspector general report last year.
The development on Friday, first reported by independent journalist Mike Cernovich, has roiled Republicans who have demanded accountability at the FBI. House Intelligence Commitee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told The Daily Caller that Kris’ appointment was “shocking” and “inexplicable.”
“It’s hard to imagine a worse person the FISC could have chosen outside [James] Comey, [Andy] McCabe, or [Adam] Schiff,” Nunes said. Speaking to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, Nunes added: “It’s 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 own credibility on fire.”
On Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Nunes reminded anchor Maria Bartiromo that Kris had panned the now-vindicated 2018 memo produced by Nunes’ panel, which asserted a series of surveillance abuses by the FBI against former Trump aide Carter Page. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz later substantiated Nunes’ claims, noting that the FBI had made numerous materially false representations to the FISC.
“Of all the people in the swamp … this is the guy that you come up with?” Nunes asked. “The guy that was accusing me of federal crimes? The guy that was defending the dirty cops at the FBI? … The court must be trying to abolish itself. There is long-term damage.”
President Trump then referenced Nunes’ interview with Bartiromo on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, calling Kris “highly controversial” and slamming the FISC’s decision.
FISA COURT REBUKES FBI, BUT LEAVES OUT KEY PLAYERS AT THE BUREAU, INCLUDING LITTLE-KNOWN AGENT PIENTKA
“You can’t make this up!” Trump wrote. “David Kris, a highly controversial former DOJ official, was just appointed by the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] Court to oversee reforms to the FBI’s surveillance procedures. Zero credibility. THE SWAMP!”

Kris argued on Lawfare in March 2018 that Nunes had “tried to deceive the American people in precisely the same way that it falsely accused the FBI of deceiving the FISA Court.”
Additionally, Kris claimed that “had the FBI done in its FISA applications what Nunes did in his memo, heads would have rolled on Pennsylvania Avenue.” He asserted, “It’s disturbing that Page met that legal standard and that there was probable cause to conclude he was a Russian agent.”
“The Nunes memo was dishonest,” Kris chargred. “And if it is allowed to stand, we risk significant collateral damage to essential elements of our democracy.”
With @Maddow discussing “asymmetric political warfare” as Trump & Co. push for further releases of Page FISAs knowing FBI can’t do so without risking compromising investigation, sources and methods. https://t.co/qItZC5WgKD — David Kris (@DavidKris) July 24, 2018
Kris was a former assistant attorney general for national security who worked at the DOJ from 2009 to 2011, and served as an associate deputy attorney general under George W. Bush from 2000 to 2003. He later criticized Bush’s justifications for warrantless wiretap surveillance.
But, as the political winds changed, Kris became more of a proponent for government surveillance in other contexts. He appeared on MSNBC’s left-wing “The Rachel Maddow Show” in 2018 to offer a spirited defense of the FBI’s FISA practices.
“FISA applications are typically quite long — they’re big enough that you don’t want to drop one on your foot,” Kris told Maddow. “They contain a lot of information and detail, because the statute is quite exacting in what it requires the government to establish to get the warrant granted.”
Commenting on whether unredacting FISA materials posed a challenge to the FBI’s investigation, Kris remarked that “a lot of water [was] already under the bridge thanks to the back-and-forth precipitated” by Nunes — knocking the key House Republican for pushing to release some of the secretive documents.
Kris added: “These applications already substantially undermine the president’s narrative and that of his proxies, and it seems to me very likely that if we get below the tip of the iceberg and into the submerged parts and more is revealed, it’s going to get worse, not better. And it would potentially be dangerous to disclose additional information because some of this relates to ongoing investigations.”
On Twitter, Kris also insisted the “walls” were “closing in” on Trump — a common refrain on liberal cable news networks during the Russia probe.
Nevertheless, FISC presiding Judge James E. Boasberg, in a Friday order, said that Kris would be an “amicus curiae to assist the Court in assessing the government’s response” to its previous order demanding changes at the FBI.
In December, the FISC ordered the FBI to re-verify all previous warrant applications involving the FBI attorney who falsified evidence against Page. Fox News learned, however, that the court did not order the FBI to double-check warrant applications involving other officials who made key omissions and errors in warrant applications as the bureau sought to surveil Page.
“It’s hard to imagine a worse person the FISC could have chosen outside [James] Comey, [Andy] McCabe, or [Adam] Schiff.” — House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
The FISC’s failure to request a comprehensive evaluation of previous submissions frustrated Republicans who have questioned whether enough is being done to deter future misconduct by the FBI. In the past, the FISC has gone so far as to prohibit some FBI agents from appearing before the court after finding impropriety.
In response to Horowitz’s recent report into FBI surveillance abuses, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the bureau “embraces the need for thoughtful, meaningful remedial action.”
Also last Friday, the FBI filed a new response to the FISC’s request for more information. In the lengthy filing, Wray outlined some of the new steps the bureau planned to take in the future.
“The FBI has the utmost respect for this court, and deeply regrets the errors and omissions identified by the [Justice Department inspector general],” Wray wrote. “FISA is an indispensable tool in national security investigations, and in recognition of our duty of candor to the court and our responsibilities to the American people, the FBI is committed to working with the court and DOJ to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the FISA process.”
Wray told the FISC that the FBI would begin teaching a “case study” using Horowitz’s findings, and would ensure that the FISC was “apprised of all information in the FBI’s holdings at the time of an application that would be relevant to a determination of probable cause.”
“Critically, the FBI must also balance the implementation of these actions with its ongoing responsibility to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States, during a time of ever-present threats to our national security,” Wray went on. “The leadership of the FBI has devoted—and will continue to devote—a substantial amount of time, thought and effort to striking this balance, while paying scrupulous attention to its duty of candor to the court and maintaining the trust of the American people.”
The FBI’s response to the FISC on Friday was signed by FBI General Counsel Dana Boente — who also signed onto the discredited Page FISA applications.
Horowitz found specific evidence of oversights and errors by several top FBI employees as they sought to obtain a warrant to surveil Page under the FISA statute. For example, an unidentified FBI supervisory special agent (SSA) mentioned in the IG report was responsible for ensuring that the bureau’s “Woods Procedures” were followed in the Page warrant application.

Only 45 people attend Bloomberg rally with Judge Judy despite campaign’s big spending By Washington Examiner, January 12, 2019: Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg claims he is ready to spend more than $1 billion in an effort to oust President Trump, but money may not be bringing supporters to his campaign. Just 45 people showed up to Bloomberg’s latest rally with TV star Judge Judy Sheindlin in Texas on Saturday, according to the New York Post. “Unlike everyone else in this race, I think what’s important is beating Donald Trump,” Bloomberg told the sparse crowd of fewer than 50 people in San Antonio.

“ 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 the homeless—indeed , all Texans , ” Abbott wrote .
“ As a result , Texas can not consent to initial refugee resettlement for FY2020.
” The move is likely to shake up refugee resettlement in the United States , as Texas has historically played home to as many as 10 percent of annual refugee arrivals .
Particularly if other states follow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a continued decline in refugee admissions in the Trump era .
In his letter , Abbott pinned the blame for the circumstances leading to his decision squarely on Congress , writing that “ Texas has been left … to deal with disproportionate migration issues resulting from a broken federal immigration system.

pamelagellerreport--2020-01-12--Pope “Hates the West, Aspires to Destroy It” and “Destroy the Christian Tradition”

The Italian intellectual Marcello Pera has criticized Pope Francis for “ openly going against tradition , doctrine , and introducing inexplicable innovations , behaviors and gestures.
” Pera opined that the Pope ’ s agenda in doing this truly insidious : The Pope does it because he hates the West , he aspires to destroy it .
… As he aspires to destroy the Christian tradition.
” Those who consider this a wild and inconceivable accusation and that it ’ s absolutely preposterous that the Pope would want to destroy the West and the Christian tradition should ask themselves this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to destroy the West and the Christian tradition , how would he be acting any differently from how he is now ?
Pera took issue with the Pope specifically for his repeated demands that Europe welcome any and all Muslim migrants .
“ Frankly , ” said Pera , “ I do not get this pope , whatever he says is beyond any rational understanding .
It ’ s evident to all that an indiscriminate welcoming is not possible : there is a critical point that can ’ t be reached.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shown any sign of recognizing that .
And he has given numerous indications that he really does hate the West and the Christian tradition .
He recently used the French epic The Song of Roland to issue yet another mea culpa to Muslims , saying : “ A scene from The Song of Roland comes to me as a symbol , when the Christians defeat the Muslims and line them up in front of the baptismal font , with one holding a sword .
And the Muslims had to choose between baptism or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christians did.
” Was it really ?
The Song of Roland is actually a work of fiction , a French epic poem loosely based on the Battle of Roncevaux Pass between Muslim invaders and Christian defenders in the year 778 .
As The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS shows , in the eleventh century , three hundred years after the battle , The Song of Roland appeared , describing the heroism of Charlemagne ’ s nephew Roland , who is leading the rear guard of Charlemagne ’ s forces and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Roland is killed , but Charlemagne vanquishes the Muslims .
It is a story of heroism and courage , but to the Pope , it ’ s just “ Islamophobia.
” And that ’ s no surprise .
In September 2017 , Pope Francis met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa , the secretary-general of the Muslim World League ( MWL ) , a group that has been linked to the financing of jihad terror .
During the meeting , al-Issa thanked the pope for his “ fair positions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false claims that link extremism and violence to Islam.
” Nor was that the first time a Muslim leader has thanked the pope for being so very useful .
Ahmed al-Tayeb , the Grand Imam of Cairo ’ s al-Azhar , thanked him for his “ defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.
” The Associated Press reported that the pope “ embraced the grand imam of Al-Azhar , the prestigious Sunni Muslim center of learning , reopening an important channel for Catholic-Muslim dialogue after a five-year lull and at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Christians.
” Why had there been this “ five-year lull ” ?
Because “ the Cairo-based Al-Azhar froze talks with the Vatican to protest comments by then-Pope Benedict XVI.

The Italian intellectual Marcello Pera has criticized Pope Francis for “openly going against tradition, doctrine, and introducing inexplicable innovations, behaviors and gestures.” Pera opined that the Pope’s agenda in doing this truly insidious: The Pope does it because he hates the West, he aspires to destroy it. … As he aspires to destroy the Christian tradition.” Those who consider this a wild and inconceivable accusation and that it’s absolutely preposterous that the Pope would want to destroy the West and the Christian tradition should ask themselves this question: if the Pope really did want to destroy the West and the Christian tradition, how would he be acting any differently from how he is now?
Pera took issue with the Pope specifically for his repeated demands that Europe welcome any and all Muslim migrants. “Frankly,” said Pera, “I do not get this pope, whatever he says is beyond any rational understanding. It’s evident to all that an indiscriminate welcoming is not possible: there is a critical point that can’t be reached.”
Indeed, but the Pope has never shown any sign of recognizing that. And he has given numerous indications that he really does hate the West and the Christian tradition. He recently used the French epic The Song of Roland to issue yet another mea culpa to Muslims, saying: “A scene from The Song of Roland comes to me as a symbol, when the Christians defeat the Muslims and line them up in front of the baptismal font, with one holding a sword. And the Muslims had to choose between baptism or the sword. That is what we Christians did.”
Was it really? The Song of Roland is actually a work of fiction, a French epic poem loosely based on the Battle of Roncevaux Pass between Muslim invaders and Christian defenders in the year 778. As The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS shows, in the eleventh century, three hundred years after the battle, The Song of Roland appeared, describing the heroism of Charlemagne’s nephew Roland, who is leading the rear guard of Charlemagne’s forces and is caught up in the Muslim ambush. Roland is killed, but Charlemagne vanquishes the Muslims.
It is a story of heroism and courage, but to the Pope, it’s just “Islamophobia.” And that’s no surprise. In September 2017, Pope Francis met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary-general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing of jihad terror. During the meeting, al-Issa thanked the pope for his “fair positions” on what he called the “false claims that link extremism and violence to Islam.”
Nor was that the first time a Muslim leader has thanked the pope for being so very useful. Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, thanked him for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.” The Associated Press reported that the pope “embraced the grand imam of Al-Azhar, the prestigious Sunni Muslim center of learning, reopening an important channel for Catholic-Muslim dialogue after a five-year lull and at a time of increased Islamic extremist attacks on Christians.”
Why had there been this “five-year lull”? Because “the Cairo-based Al-Azhar froze talks with the Vatican to protest comments by then-Pope Benedict XVI.” What did Benedict say? Andrea Gagliarducci of the Catholic News Agency explains that after a jihad terrorist murdered 23 Christians in a church in Alexandria 2011, Benedict decried “terrorism” and the “strategy of violence” against Christians, and called for the Christians of the Middle East to be protected.
So Pope Benedict condemned a jihad attack, one that al-Azhar also condemned, and yet al-Azhar suspended dialogue because of the pope’s condemnation. Then Pope Francis wrote to the Grand Imam of al-Azhar affirming his respect for Islam, and the Grand Imam warned him that criticizing Islam was a “red line” that he must not cross. That strongly suggests that the “dialogue” that Pope Francis has now reestablished will not be allowed to discuss the Muslim persecution of Christians that will escalate worldwide, especially since an incidence of that persecution led to the suspension of dialogue in the first place.
Francis, for his part, proclaimed that “authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Koran reject every form of violence,” doing his bit to ensure that as many Christians as possible would remain ignorant and complacent about the jihad threat that his precious “dialogue” does nothing to mitigate.
And now he has been called out, rightly, for working againt Europe’s Christian heritage and tradition. He is nothing less than a disgrace to the Church, to Judeo-Christian civilization, and to the free world.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
