pamelagellerreport--2020-05-07--Signs of Intelligent Life in Egypt: Journalist Khalid Al-Bari (Part 1)

The story posted at MEMRI.org shows a realistic assessment of the “ Palestinians ” and what the writer would do , as he repeatedly says , “ if I were Palestinian.
” The summary below is followed by excerpts from the article : In a February 24 , 2020 article headlined “ If I Were Palestinian ” in the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat , Egyptian author and journalist Khalid Al-Bari compared the Palestinians ’ perception of their cause to the misdiagnosis of a disease , which not only fails to solve the problem but actually aggravates it .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ objectively in order to attain a solution that will afford them a dignified life .
In seeking a solution , he said , the Palestinians must take into consideration that Israel is powerful , that the Arab support for the Palestinian cause is not unlimited , and that all those who market old and erroneous solutions to the conflict do not have the Palestinians ’ interests at heart .
He urged them to give up the idea of armed struggle and self-sacrifice , strive for peace with Israel , and focus on establishing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of historic Palestine , in order to start living their lives .
Khalid Al-Bari is a brave man .
His advice to the Palestinians is to give up their terrorism , to give up the “ armed struggle and self-sacrifice ” in order to some day – a day that recedes ever further into the future – destroy Israel , but instead , they should “ strive for peace ” with Israel and establish communities worth living in , not consumed by warfare and distracted by hate , ruled by a succession of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ led the Palestinians so far astray , and stolen so much from them .
Instead , they must learn to govern themselves successfully ( “ effective self-government , ” mentioned by El-Bari , means democratic rule ) , and accepting that their state will be only “ in part ” of historic Palestine .
They must learn , in other words , to compromise .
For otherwise there is no way out of the dead end of constant warfare against a much more powerful and clever enemy .
A relative of mine had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the doctor , who diagnosed a bacterial infection in her liver and told [ her family ] to give her sweets in order to counter her low sugar levels .
Her family… indeed fed her caramel cream in unusually large amounts .
There are two kinds of misdiagnosis , both of them serious .
One kind [ misidentifies ] the reasons for the illness , and you [ waste ] time getting treated for a disease you do not have , while the real illness spreads through your body .
This kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second kind is an [ even ] bigger disaster , because you receive the opposite diagnosis [ from the correct one ] , which not only ignores and neglects the real disease , but actually aggravates it .
The same phenomenon is also common in political diagnoses .
We misdiagnose the political disease and treat it in a way that deepens our disregard of [ the real problem ] or reinforces the factors that caused it , instead of removing them .
Sometimes the misdiagnosis is provided by our rivals who openly declare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ method for circulating false [ political ] prescriptions is by alluding to [ upholding ] ‘ national principles , ’ namely old prescriptions that were in use hundreds of years ago and have not developed [ since then ] … The best proof of the bad faith of those who defend ‘ national principles ’ is that they exempt their friends from [ upholding ] them .
Thus , you find the Ottoman Brotherhood [ i.e.
, the Muslim Brotherhood , which is backed by Turkey ] spreading all kinds of political and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ permanent exemption from [ upholding ] them .
As for our relative , we later discovered that she had suffered pain in the right side of her abdomen , beneath the ribs , not because of a liver infection… but due to pre-eclampsia , which developed because she was suffering from undiagnosed diabetes .
In this case , the misdiagnosis , along with the large amounts of sugar [ she consumed per the doctor ’ s instructions ] , aggravated the disease and caused a miscarriage , following which she was also warned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The misdiagnosis of the Palestinian problem , and [ the prescription of ] ‘ national principles ’ as a treatment , have likewise done a disservice to the [ Palestinian ] cause .
Turning it into a religious struggle surely reinforces Israel ’ s claim [ over the land ] , which is supported by the most widely-circulated book of scripture in the world [ i.e.
, the Old Testament ] , which still , to a great extent , shapes historical memory in the West .
Here one begs to differ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Palestinians , or of the Arabs , against Israel , was not “ turned into a religious struggle ” : it has always been a religious struggle , of Believers against the Infidel Jews , who are described in several dozen Qur ’ anic verses as the most dangerous and fanatical enemies of Muslims and of Islam .
El-Bari ’ s insistence that in the beginning the “ struggle ” was not “ religious ” and even now , is not really religious in nature , is something he needs to insist on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it was always a struggle based on the commands in the Qur ’ an itself , there would be no possibility of persuading Muslim Palestinians to give up such a struggle .
It is Khalid Al-Bari who , for the most admirable of reasons , wants to convince the Palestinians , and the world , and even himself , that it never was a “ religious ” struggle and Is not now .
The Truth Must be Told Please take a moment to consider this .
Now , more than ever , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they wo n't get anywhere else .

The summary below is followed by excerpts from the article:
In a February 24, 2020 article headlined “If I Were Palestinian” in the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, Egyptian author and journalist Khalid Al-Bari compared the Palestinians’ perception of their cause to the misdiagnosis of a disease, which not only fails to solve the problem but actually aggravates it. He called on them to assess their situation objectively in order to attain a solution that will afford them a dignified life. In seeking a solution, he said, the Palestinians must take into consideration that Israel is powerful, that the Arab support for the Palestinian cause is not unlimited, and that all those who market old and erroneous solutions to the conflict do not have the Palestinians’ interests at heart. He urged them to give up the idea of armed struggle and self-sacrifice, strive for peace with Israel, and focus on establishing vibrant communities and effective self-government in part of historic Palestine, in order to start living their lives.
Khalid Al-Bari is a brave man. His advice to the Palestinians is to give up their terrorism, to give up the “armed struggle and self-sacrifice” in order to some day – a day that recedes ever further into the future – destroy Israel, but instead, they should “strive for peace” with Israel and establish communities worth living in, not consumed by warfare and distracted by hate, ruled by a succession of colossally corrupt and cruel warlords who have led the Palestinians so far astray, and stolen so much from them. Instead, they must learn to govern themselves successfully (“effective self-government,” mentioned by El-Bari, means democratic rule), and accepting that their state will be only “in part” of historic Palestine. They must learn, in other words, to compromise. For otherwise there is no way out of the dead end of constant warfare against a much more powerful and clever enemy.

Trump campaign to unload on Biden with negative ad onslaught By Politico, May 7, 2020 Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is about to unleash a massive negative ad campaign against Joe Biden — the president’s most aggressive effort yet to damage his Democratic opponent. With Trump’s poll numbers sagging amid his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the offensive underscores how his advisers believe they must turn the race into a choice election between the president and Biden, rather than solely a referendum on Trump’s performance.
The cash-flush campaign is slated to more than $10 million on a national advertising blitz across broadcast and cable channels, as well as online. One of the commercials says Biden “coddles China,” where the pandemic originated.

“Joe Biden won’t stand up to China,” the ad declares. “He never has. He never will.” Trump has personally approved the onslaught, according to people familiar with the decision. The president is expected to huddle with his political advisers Thursday. Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale hinted at the forthcoming offensive in a Thursday morning tweet calling the reelection effort a “death star” and declaring, “In a few days we start pressing FIRE for the first time.” The decision to go after Biden marks a new phase in the campaign. With coronavirus dominating the headlines, the reelection campaign has so far been restrained in targeting the former vice president. Many senior Republicans say the time has come for Trump to go after Biden. Democratic outside groups, including the Priorities USA super PAC, have been airing ads in swing states blistering Trump over his response. “If the Trump campaign wants this to be a contrast election, they need to get about it,” said Karl Rove, the architect of George W. Bush’s campaigns. “They must begin to lay out the lines of attack against Biden. Their effort needs to be focused, disciplined, phased, and with resources to help the messages break through.” Rove noted that Barack Obama Obama and Bush’s reelection campaigns started to define their general election opponents in the spring of the presidential election year. Obama delivered a speech attacking Mitt Romney on April 2, 2012 and Bush aired an ad against John Kerry on March 15, 2004. pic.twitter.com/w259GL5fVJ — Brad Parscale – Download our Trump 2020 App today! (@parscale) May 7, 2020 Senior Republicans have been polling possible lines of attack against Biden. They say his relationship with China, his son’s dealings with Ukraine, and his oversight of the 2009 financial crisis are some of the most potent avenues. But others are potentially less effective. Going after Biden’s mental capacity — something the Trump team has done relentlessly in recent weeks — has done less to sway voters, Republicans said.

pamelagellerreport--2020-05-08--WATCH: Obama KNEW of wiretapped Flynn phone calls, Russia investigation transcripts show

Walls are closing in on Obama .
`` A clearer picture is emerging of the drastic steps that were taken to accomplish Obama ’ s goal in the following weeks and months… At each major point in the operation , explosive media leaks were a key strategy in the operation to take down Trump . ''
https : //t.co/LaluiilSr0 Obama knew details of wiretapped Flynn phone calls , surprising top DOJ official in meeting with Biden , declassified docs show President Obama was aware of the details of then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn ’ s intercepted December 2016 phone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently surprising then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates , according to documents released Thursday as exhibits to the government ’ s motion to dismiss the Flynn case .
Obama ’ s unexpectedly intimate knowledge of the details of Flynn ’ s calls , which the FBI acknowledged at the time were not criminal or even improper , raised eyebrows because of his own history with Flynn — and because top FBI officials secretly discussed whether their goal was to “ get [ Flynn ] fired ” when they interviewed him in the White House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personally had warned the Trump administration against hiring Flynn , and made clear he was “ not a fan , ” according to multiple officials .
Obama had fired Flynn as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 ; Obama cited insubordination , while Flynn asserted he was pushed out for his aggressive stance on combating lslamic extremism .
On January 5 , 2017 , Yates attended an Oval Office meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey , then-Vice President Joe Biden , then-CIA Director John Brennan , and then-Director of National Intelligence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declassified documents , including an FD-302 FBI witness report .
They were discussing Russian election interference , along with national security adviser Susan Rice and other members of the national security council .
After the briefing , Obama asked Yates and Comey to “ stay behind , ” and said he had “ learned of the information about Flynn ” and his conversation with Russia ’ s ambassador about sanctions .
Obama “ specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter , but was seeking information on whether the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differently , given the information.
” A previous memo from Rice stated that Biden also stayed behind after the main briefing had ended .
At that point , the documents showed , “ Yates had no idea what the president was talking about , but figured it out based on the conversation .
Yates recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act , but can ’ t recall if he specified there was an ‘ investigation.
’ Comey did not talk about prosecution in the meeting.
” The exhibit continues : “ It was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first received the information .
Yates did not recall Comey ’ s response to the President ’ s question about how to treat Flynn .
She was so surprised by the information she was hearing that she was having a hard time processing it and listening to the conversation at the same time.
” Yates , who was fired by the Trump administration after taking the extraordinary step of refusing to defend its travel ban executive order in court , would later say that she was concerned Flynn would be vulnerable to blackmail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Logan Act , an obscure statute , has never been used successfully in a criminal prosecution ; enacted in 1799 in an era before telephones , it was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States government abroad .
In its motion to dismiss Flynn ’ s case on Thursday , the DOJ noted that the law was an unserious dead letter .
Also released as an exhibit Thursday was a head-turning two-page document outlining why the FBI opened its counterintelligence probe into Flynn in August 2016 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Flynn was “ cited as an adviser to the Trump team on foreign policy issues February 2016 ; he has ties to various state-affiliated entities of the Russian Federation , as reported by open-source information ; and he traveled to Russia in December 2015 , as reported by open-source information.
” The “ state-affiliated entities ” line was an apparent reference to Flynn ’ s paid appearance at a Moscow gala for Russian state TV network RT in 2015 .
Flynn also reportedly received thousands more in expenses covered by the network @ @ @ @ @ @ @ firms , including some payments that he initially didn ’ t disclose on ethics forms .
The payments raised eyebrows on Capitol Hill , although Republicans pointed out that many other prominent officials , including Bill Clinton , have traveled to Russia for highly paid speaking engagements .
Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok approved opening a full-fledged national security probe on those apparently weak grounds , according to the FBI document , even though Flynn ’ s speaking engagements in Russia were public knowledge .
DOJ guidelines call for the FBI to open such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasonable and articulable basis to believe that criminal activity has occurred or that a threat to national security may exist .
Strzok later would intervene and push to keep the Flynn probe open in January 2017 , even after the FBI ’ s Washington office signaled it wanted to close it because no “ derogatory ” information had been unearthed after consulting with other intelligence agencies in an exhaustive search .
On the recommendation of U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen , who served as an FBI agent for more than a decade , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its case against Flynn .
The stunning development came after internal memos were released raising serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to Flynn ’ s late 2017 guilty plea of lying to the FBI as his legal fees mounted .
JAMES GAGLIANO , FMR FBI SWAT OFFICER , CHANGES MIND , NOW SAYS FLYNN WAS ‘ RAILROADED ’ One of the documents was a top official ’ s handwritten memo debating whether the FBI ’ s “ goal ” was “ to get him to lie , so we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” ; other materials showed efforts by Strzok to pursue Flynn on increasingly flimsy legal grounds .
The FBI possessed word-for-word transcripts of Flynn ’ s December 2016 conversations with Kislyak , and publicly admitted to reviewing those transcripts and clearing Flynn of any wrongdoing .
Both during and before the January 24 , 2017 White House interview that led to Flynn ’ s prosecution for one count of lying to the FBI , the bureau acknowledged having those full transcripts , raising the question of why agents would need to ask Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Kislyak , except potentially as a pretext to obtain a false statements charge .
Flynn was accused specifically of giving equivocal and evasive answers to FBI agents in the White House during a casual interview concerning those phone calls , but no transcript of the conversation exists .
Instead , after-the-fact FBI notes of the interview with Strzok and Joe Pientka were the primary evidence .
DOJ PROSECUTOR BOOTED FROM FLYNN CASE — APPARENTLY DIDN ’ T COMPLY WITH COURT ORDER TO TURN OVER KEY DOCS During the interview , Flynn told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked if he had sought to convince Kislyak not to escalate a brewing fight with the U.S. over sanctions imposed by the Obama administration , according to a FD-302 witness report prepared by the FBI .
Flynn also demurred when asked if he had asked Russia to veto a U.N. Security Council resolution that condemned Israel ’ s settlements in the West Bank .
The Obama administration abstained in that vote .
At various points , Flynn also suggested that such conversations might have happened or that he could not recall them if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The 302 indicated that Flynn apparently was aware his communications had been monitored , and at several points he thanked the FBI agents for reminding him of some of his conversations with Russian officials .
The FBI said Flynn had in fact discussed with Kislyak the need for Russia not to escalate the situation in response to sanctions just imposed by the Obama administration .
Special Counsel Robert Mueller ’ s report stated that “ Flynn requested that Russia not escalate the situation , not get into ‘ tit for tat , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a reciprocal manner.
” Flynn did not discuss an effort to undo the Obama sanctions , contrary to some media reports .
Strzok later was removed from then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller ’ s team when his anti-Trump text messages surfaced , and Pientka now has been under scrutiny for his role in various Trump probes .
Pientka has been scrubbed from the FBI website after Fox News asked the bureau about him , and Republican lawmakers ( including Sen. Lindsey Graham , R-S.C. , and GOP Reps. Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The FBI told Fox News last year that reporting Pientka ’ s name was irresponsible and endangered his life for no journalistic purpose .
But , Fox News has previously determined that Pientka was also intimately involved in the probe of former Trump aide Carter Page , which the DOJ has since acknowledged was riddled with fundamental errors and premised on a discredited dossier that the bureau was told could be part of a Russian disinformation campaign .
The FBI ’ s recently released handwritten notes in advance of the Flynn interview — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of counterintelligence Bill Priestap wrote after a meeting with Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe , Fox News is told — suggested that agents planned in the alternative to get Flynn “ to admit to breaking the Logan Act ” when he spoke to Kislyak during the presidential transition period .
“ What is our goal ?
” one of the notes read .
“ Truth/Admission or to get him to lie , so we can prosecute him or get him fired ?
” Another note read , “ If we get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Act , give facts to DOJ + have them decide.
” Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the document ’ s implications “ chilling.
” Earlier Thursday , Brandon Van Grack , a top Justice Department prosecutor and former member of Mueller ’ s team , withdrew from the Flynn case .
DOJ DROPS FLYNN CASE , AFTER HE SOLD HIS HOME , LOST HIS CAREER Van Grack also was withdrawing from other unrelated cases as well , raising questions about his future at the DOJ .
No explanation was given for Van @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flynn case , which was recorded in a brief filing with the court on Thursday .
An administration official told Fox News that Van Grack was still at the DOJ and has not resigned .

Obama knew details of wiretapped Flynn phone calls, surprising top DOJ official in meeting with Biden, declassified docs show
By Gregg Re, FOX News, May 8, 2020:
President Obama was aware of the details of then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn’s intercepted December 2016 phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, apparently surprising then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, according to documents released Thursday as exhibits to the government’s motion to dismiss the Flynn case.
Obama’s unexpectedly intimate knowledge of the details of Flynn’s calls, which the FBI acknowledged at the time were not criminal or even improper, raised eyebrows because of his own history with Flynn — and because top FBI officials secretly discussed whether their goal was to “get [Flynn] fired” when they interviewed him in the White House on January 24, 2017.
Obama personally had warned the Trump administration against hiring Flynn, and made clear he was “not a fan,” according to multiple officials. Obama had fired Flynn as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014; Obama cited insubordination, while Flynn asserted he was pushed out for his aggressive stance on combating lslamic extremism.
READ THE DOJ’S MOTION TO DISMISS W/ EXHIBITS
On January 5, 2017, Yates attended an Oval Office meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey, then-Vice President Joe Biden, then-CIA Director John Brennan, and then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, according to the newly declassified documents, including an FD-302 FBI witness report. They were discussing Russian election interference, along with national security adviser Susan Rice and other members of the national security council.
After the briefing, Obama asked Yates and Comey to “stay behind,” and said he had “learned of the information about Flynn” and his conversation with Russia’s ambassador about sanctions. Obama “specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information.”
A previous memo from Rice stated that Biden also stayed behind after the main briefing had ended.
At that point, the documents showed, “Yates had no idea what the president was talking about, but figured it out based on the conversation. Yates recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act, but can’t recall if he specified there was an ‘investigation.’ Comey did not talk about prosecution in the meeting.”
The exhibit continues: “It was not clear to Yates from where the President first received the information. Yates did not recall Comey’s response to the President’s question about how to treat Flynn. She was so surprised by the information she was hearing that she was having a hard time processing it and listening to the conversation at the same time.”
Yates, who was fired by the Trump administration after taking the extraordinary step of refusing to defend its travel ban executive order in court, would later say that she was concerned Flynn would be vulnerable to blackmail because of his interactions with Russia.
The Logan Act, an obscure statute, has never been used successfully in a criminal prosecution; enacted in 1799 in an era before telephones, it was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States government abroad. In its motion to dismiss Flynn’s case on Thursday, the DOJ noted that the law was an unserious dead letter.
Also released as an exhibit Thursday was a head-turning two-page document outlining why the FBI opened its counterintelligence probe into Flynn in August 2016. The FBI offered only three reasons: that Flynn was “cited as an adviser to the Trump team on foreign policy issues February 2016; he has ties to various state-affiliated entities of the Russian Federation, as reported by open-source information; and he traveled to Russia in December 2015, as reported by open-source information.”
The “state-affiliated entities” line was an apparent reference to Flynn’s paid appearance at a Moscow gala for Russian state TV network RT in 2015. Flynn also reportedly received thousands more in expenses covered by the network and in speech fees from other Russian firms, including some payments that he initially didn’t disclose on ethics forms. The payments raised eyebrows on Capitol Hill, although Republicans pointed out that many other prominent officials, including Bill Clinton, have traveled to Russia for highly paid speaking engagements.
I'd still like to understand what was improper about the incoming National Security Advisor of a newly elected administration calling his Russian counterpart to try to tamp down tensions in the weeks before he took office. — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 7, 2020
Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok approved opening a full-fledged national security probe on those apparently weak grounds, according to the FBI document, even though Flynn’s speaking engagements in Russia were public knowledge. DOJ guidelines call for the FBI to open such counterintelligence probes only when there is a reasonable and articulable basis to believe that criminal activity has occurred or that a threat to national security may exist.
Strzok later would intervene and push to keep the Flynn probe open in January 2017, even after the FBI’s Washington office signaled it wanted to close it because no “derogatory” information had been unearthed after consulting with other intelligence agencies in an exhaustive search.
On the recommendation of U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen, who served as an FBI agent for more than a decade, the Justice Department on Thursday moved to drop its case against Flynn. The stunning development came after internal memos were released raising serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to Flynn’s late 2017 guilty plea of lying to the FBI as his legal fees mounted.

One of the documents was a top official’s handwritten memo debating whether the FBI’s “goal” was “to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired”; other materials showed efforts by Strzok to pursue Flynn on increasingly flimsy legal grounds.

The FBI possessed word-for-word transcripts of Flynn’s December 2016 conversations with Kislyak, and publicly admitted to reviewing those transcripts and clearing Flynn of any wrongdoing.
Both during and before the January 24, 2017 White House interview that led to Flynn’s prosecution for one count of lying to the FBI, the bureau acknowledged having those full transcripts, raising the question of why agents would need to ask Flynn about what he said during the calls with Kislyak, except potentially as a pretext to obtain a false statements charge.
Flynn was accused specifically of giving equivocal and evasive answers to FBI agents in the White House during a casual interview concerning those phone calls, but no transcript of the conversation exists. Instead, after-the-fact FBI notes of the interview with Strzok and Joe Pientka were the primary evidence.
DOJ PROSECUTOR BOOTED FROM FLYNN CASE — APPARENTLY DIDN’T COMPLY WITH COURT ORDER TO TURN OVER KEY DOCS
During the interview, Flynn told the agents “not really” when asked if he had sought to convince Kislyak not to escalate a brewing fight with the U.S. over sanctions imposed by the Obama administration, according to a FD-302 witness report prepared by the FBI. Flynn also demurred when asked if he had asked Russia to veto a U.N. Security Council resolution that condemned Israel’s settlements in the West Bank. The Obama administration abstained in that vote.
At various points, Flynn also suggested that such conversations might have happened or that he could not recall them if they did, according to the 302. The 302 indicated that Flynn apparently was aware his communications had been monitored, and at several points he thanked the FBI agents for reminding him of some of his conversations with Russian officials.
The FBI said Flynn had in fact discussed with Kislyak the need for Russia not to escalate the situation in response to sanctions just imposed by the Obama administration. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report stated that “Flynn requested that Russia not escalate the situation, not get into ‘tit for tat,’ and only respond to the sanctions in a reciprocal manner.” Flynn did not discuss an effort to undo the Obama sanctions, contrary to some media reports.
Strzok later was removed from then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team when his anti-Trump text messages surfaced, and Pientka now has been under scrutiny for his role in various Trump probes.
Pientka has been scrubbed from the FBI website after Fox News asked the bureau about him, and Republican lawmakers (including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and GOP Reps. Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson) are seeking to question him. The FBI told Fox News last year that reporting Pientka’s name was irresponsible and endangered his life for no journalistic purpose.
But, Fox News has previously determined that Pientka was also intimately involved in the probe of former Trump aide Carter Page, which the DOJ has since acknowledged was riddled with fundamental errors and premised on a discredited dossier that the bureau was told could be part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
The FBI’s recently released handwritten notes in advance of the Flynn interview — which the FBI’s former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap wrote after a meeting with Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Fox News is told — suggested that agents planned in the alternative to get Flynn “to admit to breaking the Logan Act” when he spoke to Kislyak during the presidential transition period.
“What is our goal?” one of the notes read. “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”
Another note read, “If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide.” Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the document’s implications “chilling.”
Earlier Thursday, Brandon Van Grack, a top Justice Department prosecutor and former member of Mueller’s team, withdrew from the Flynn case.
DOJ DROPS FLYNN CASE, AFTER HE SOLD HIS HOME, LOST HIS CAREER
Van Grack also was withdrawing from other unrelated cases as well, raising questions about his future at the DOJ. No explanation was given for Van Grack’s abrupt withdrawal from the Flynn case, which was recorded in a brief filing with the court on Thursday. An administration official told Fox News that Van Grack was still at the DOJ and has not resigned.
Van Grack’s removal from the cases came just days after Fox News reported that the explosive, newly unsealed evidence documenting the FBI’s efforts to target Flynn called into question whether Van Grack compli

Tara Reade says Biden told her ‘I want to f–k you’ during alleged assault
By Sara Nathan and Laura Italiano
NY Post, May 7, 2020 |
Trump hopes Joe Biden sexual assault allegations are ‘false’
AOC: Claim against Biden isn’t ‘clear-cut’
Court doc from 1996 confirms Tara Reade told of sexual harassment in Biden’s office
Tara Reade says she’ll take lie detector test — if Joe Biden takes one
As Joe Biden pinned Tara Reade up against a wall, he told her “l want to f— you,” the former staffer says in a new interview with Megyn Kelly — giving her most graphic, detailed account yet of their 1993 encounter.
Tasked with bringing Biden’s gym bag to him in his Senate office, Reade, who was then a junior staffer, rushed there in her high heels, and was greeted by the senator by name.
What happened next “happened very quickly,” Reade said in the interview, which will be posted in its entirety to Kelly’s Twitter account on Friday — and an advance copy of which has been shared with The Post.
Clips released earlier Thursday revealed that Reade wishes Biden would drop out of the 2020 campaign because he “should not be running on character;” she also said she would take a lie detector test if Biden himself did so too.
“I remember being pushed up against the wall,” Reade said in the clip obtained by The Post.
“The first thought I had was ‘Where’s the bag?’ which is an absurd thought, but that’s what I thought,” she said.
Becoming emotional, Reade continued her account.
“He had his hands underneath my clothes, and it happened all at once, so when I tell about it, it’s hard because so many things were happening at once, it’s like my brain was trying to catch up to what was happening,” she said.
“So, he had one hand underneath my shirt, and the other had, I had a skirt on, and he went down my skirt and then went up and I remember I was up almost on my tippy toes.
“When he went inside the skirt, he was talking to me at the same time, and he was leaning into me and I pulled this way away from his head.”
As he kissed her neck, he asked in a whisper if she wanted to go somewhere else, she said.
Although she can’t remember everything he said, she still remembers him saying: “I want to f–k you.”
“He said it low and I was pushing away and I remember my knee hurting because he had opened my legs with his knee and our kneecaps clashed so I felt like a sharp pain.
“His fingers were inside of my private area – my vagina – and there was no small talk, there was no precept, it was just sudden and it was happening like that.
“He was saying those things to me and I was pulling away.”
When she refused his advances and was “obviously just tensed up and frozen” Reade said Biden pulled back.
“He looked at me and said ‘What the hell, man, I heard you liked me.’ ”
Reade said that she thought the encounter was her fault.
“I immediately started thinking what I did, how I brought this on – did I say something to somebody, did I give an impression … my mind was racing.
“In that moment I knew this was really bad – I knew, it was more than just the assault; it was really bad.
“He was angry and I could feel – it wasn’t that yelling angry, but that hostility, and he pulled back and he was just looking at me directly, he pointed his finger at me and he said ‘You’re nothing to me. You’re nothing.’ ”
Starting to weep, Reade continued: “And I think that’s the hardest thing, and I know people talk about the assault, but his words, those words, stayed with me my whole life.
“And as I’ve been trying to tell my story, and kind of been torn apart trying to tell it, those words come back … it was cruel, so when he saw me, obviously, start to get upset by what he said, he took me by the shoulders and kind of shook me and said, ‘You’re ok, you’re alright.’ ”
She said she remembers small things, like trying to put her shoe back on, and her aching knee, and his smell.
Although she “wanted to say ‘stop,’ ” she couldn’t, she said, adding, “Sometimes, when I’ve had a few bad dreams about it, I wake up yelling ‘stop’. ”
As for Biden, she said: “He didn’t look at me again; he picked up the gym bag, he turned around, and he walked away and he never looked back.”

New Evidence Emerges In Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden
By Ryan Saavedra, DailyWire.com, May 7, 2020:
A local California newspaper reported on Thursday that court documents from 1996 show that Tara Reade, who had previously served as a staffer for then-Senator Joe Biden, told her ex-husband that in 1993 she was sexually harassed while working for Biden.
The Tribune reported that Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen made the following declaration in court while he was fighting against a restraining order that Reade filed against him after he filed for divorce:
I met Petitioner in the spring of 1993 while working in Washington, D.C. At the early stages of our dating, Petitioner felt comfortable confiding in me as we both worked for Members of Congress, and we shared many other common interests. On several occasions Petitioner related a problem that she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office. Petitioner told me that she eventually struck a deal with the chief of staff of the Senator’s office and left her position. I was sympathetic to her needs when she asked me for help, and assisted her financially, and allowed her to stay at my apartment with my roommate while she looked for work. It was obvious that this event had a very traumatic effect on Petitioner, and that she is still sensitive and effected by it today.
The Tribune noted that it is important to point out that the statement from Reade’s then-husband does not state who the person was that was allegedly harassing Reade, just that it happened “in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”
Then-Biden chief of staff Ted Kaufman disputed Reade’s claims, telling The Tribune, “I have consistently said what is the truth here — that she never came to me. I do not remember her, and had she come to me in any of these circumstances, I would remember her. But I do not, because she did not.”
Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Biden, which she made in March of this, gained traction late last month when NewsBusters unearthed a 1993 video clip of Reade’s mother calling into CNN’s “Larry King Live” and saying that her daughter was having problems with a “prominent senator.”
Transcript:
LARRY KING: San Luis Obispo, California, hello. CALLER: Yes, hello. I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him. KING: In other words, she had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it? CALLER: That’s true.
Since then, more people have come forward and said that Reade told them about the alleged incident.
During a podcast in March, Reade said, “It happened all at once…his hands were on me and underneath my clothes. Yeah, and he went down my skirt but then up inside it, and he penetrated me with his fingers, and he was kissing me at the same time, and he was saying something to me. He said several things. I can’t remember everything he said.”

Trump calls Flynn ‘innocent man’ after DOJ drops case against former national security adviser
By Fox News, May 7, 2020
President Trump praised his former national security adviser Michael Flynn and tore into the administration of former President Barack Obama on Thursday after learning that the Justice Department had dropped its case against Flynn.
“He was an innocent man,” Trump said of Flynn during a meeting at the White House with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. “Now in my book he’s an even greater warrior.”
The Justice Department’s move to drop its case comes shortly after internal memos were released that raised serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to the retired Army lieutenant general’s 2017 guilty plea for lying to the FBI.
Those documents showed how agents discussed their motivations for interviewing him in the Russia probe—questioning whether they wanted to “get him to lie” so he’d be fired or prosecuted, or get him to admit wrongdoing. Flynn allies howled over the revelations, arguing that he was essentially set up in a perjury trap.
Flynn in January moved to withdraw his guilty plea for lying to the FBI in the Russia probe, citing “bad faith” by the government. That court filing came just days after the Justice Department reversed course to recommend up to six months of prison time in his case, alleging he was not fully cooperating or accepting responsibility for his actions.
The case had been plodding through the court system with no resolution ever since his original plea, even amid speculation about whether Trump himself could extend a pardon.
Trump on Thursday claimed Flynn was a target of the Obama administration and called the investigation into his former national security adviser treasonous.
“They’re human scum,” Trump said. “It’s treason.”
The president also targeted the news media for its coverage on Flynn, and called on the New York Times and the Washington Post to return their Pulitzer prizes for coverage on the investigations into Russian interference during the 2016 election.
“Those writers… are thieves,” Trump said. “They should be forced to give back Pulitzer prizes.”

Supreme Court throws out convictions of New Jersey officials in Bridgegate scandal By CNN.com, May 7, 2020 The Supreme Court threw out fraud convictions on Thursday against two New Jersey officials involved in the “Bridgegate” political scandal, the George Washington Bridge traffic jam that rocked the administration of then-Gov. Chris Christie. Writing for a unanimous court, Justice Elena Kagan said that “for no reason” other than “political payback” the aides “used deception” to cut access lanes from Fort Lee, New Jersey, to the bridge. The move “jeopardized the safety of the town’s residents,” Kagan wrote, but concluded that “not every corrupt act by state or local officials is a federal crime.” Bridget Anne Kelly, who served as an aide to Christie, and Bill Baroni, the deputy director of the Port Authority, were convicted for their roles in the scandal and ultimately sentenced to 13 and 18 months in 2017. Currently out on bond, they asked the Supreme Court to reverse their convictions. The ruling is the latest example of the court narrowing the type of conduct by public officials that can be considered fraud under federal law. In recent years, the court has decisively narrowed the government’s ability to charge public officials with federal crimes for corruption offenses, most notably in 2016 after former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell took hundreds of thousands of dollars from a businessman who wanted the governor to intervene on his behalf with state officials to benefit his business. “Once again, the Supreme Court has thrown out federal criminal convictions of public officials who, by their own admission, abused their power for corrupt and illegitimate purposes,” said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law. “The harder question is whether Congress will respond to rulings like this one by expanding the scope of these laws, or whether we’re going to end up with a world in which criminal liability for such nefarious conduct depends upon the color of one’s collar,” Vladeck added. Christie’s aides argued that they were wrongly convicted and that prosecutors overreached when they charged them under various federal fraud statutes. Kagan added that the aides’ scheme did not aim to obtain money or property, and therefore they could not have violated wire fraud laws.

The 60 second TV spot will hit Biden for exaggerating his resume during his first presidential campaign in 1988. “Joe Biden has never been President for some very good reasons,” the advertisement states. “One of them is still breathtaking, years later.” The video then shows Biden bragging about having three college degrees, and having finished at the top of his class in law school, neither of which turned out to be true.

Biden was forced to end his 1988 presidential campaign in the fall of 1987 following allegations of plagiarism, as well as allegations that he embellished his resume. Biden ran again for president in 2008, but failed to win a single state. The third time appears to be the charm for the former vice president, who is expected to accept his party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention in August.
