House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff is planning to selectively release information from some of the 53 declassified transcripts of witnesses that testified before Congress regarding the FBI's Russia probe into the Trump campaign. This move, comes after a long battle against Republican colleagues, who are fighting to make all the transcripts available to the American public, said a U.S. official, with knowledge of Schiff's plans.

Schiff has been fighting the release of the transcripts.

The decision for Schiff to publish a selective portion of the 6,000 pages of transcripts comes after a recent public showdown with Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who is also fighting to make all the transcripts public. In fact, Grenell reiterated in a letter Wednesday that if Schiff doesn't make the transcripts public then he will release them himself.

Interestingly, the committee voted unanimously in the fall of 2018, to make all the transcripts public after declassification, which has already been done.

"Schiff's planning to selectively leak to the liberal media what he wants, while keeping the truth from the American people," said one source, familiar with Schiff's plans.

Schiff's office did not immediately respond to an email for comment.

Comment: Following the standoff between Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Acting DNI Richard Grenell, the House Intelligence Committee published all of the Russia investigation transcripts Thursday evening:

Interview Transcripts

Schiff blamed Trump for the delayed release, and claimed they say what they don't say - no surprise there:
"The transcripts released today richly detail evidence of the Trump campaign's efforts to invite, make use of, and cover up Russia's help in the 2016 presidential election," House Intelligence Committee chairperson Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said in a Thursday news release accompanying the documents.

"These transcripts should have been released long before now, but the White House held up their release to the public by refusing to allow the Intelligence Community to make redactions on the basis of classified information, rather than White House political interests. Only now, and during a deadly pandemic, has the President released his hold on this damning information and evidence," Schiff continued.

"Like the Ukraine investigation that would follow it, the investigation into the Trump campaign's effort to seek and utilize Russian help in 2016 and to obstruct justice, reveal a President who believes that he is above the law. But we are a country where the truth still matters and where right still matters. Our investigation into the Trump campaign, and the evidence we uncovered despite formidable obstruction, affirms that."
So what's actually in the transcripts?





And here's Trump being Trump in a call with with Fox News:


"Sleepy Joe was involved in this also, very much," Trump said. "And other people around President Obama were totally involved, and you'll see more and more things come out, I think. I know how it works."

"Comey's a sick man," Trump declared. "He's just a stupid guy. He's dumb as a rock, and he's a sick guy. There's something wrong with him.

"It's all coming out, and I love to watch it."

The Davos crowd and China's move away from cash in a post-COVID world

There's been a concerted effort recently among the oligarchs I like to call The Davos Crowd to demonize cash. From hedge fund manager Ray Dalio pronouncing 'Cash is trash' earlier this year to the fear-mongering surrounding COVID-19 making people fearful of dealing in cash because it might be tainted the anti-cash rhetoric has been amped up to eleven.

And it's been no secret that the elite of the world want us to stop transacting in cash because it is something they can't track. Sweden has flirted with the cashless society while the European Union did away with large denomination bills the same way the U.S. has been phasing them out.

A few years ago, India created a huge stir removing the 500 and 1000 rupee note from circulation. All of these moves have been, nominally, in service of stamping out corruption. They are sold to the public as a way to punish criminals and money launderers.

But the reality is that the push for removing cash from society is to put all of our financial dealings in databases which gives authorities a record of everything you do. As governments around the world become increasingly bankrupt they naturally look for ways to improve tax compliance as well as create profiles of anyone they deem a threat to their continued existence.

Coronavirus may have been in Ireland last year - Taoiseach

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said it is possible that the coronavirus was already in Ireland last year or in January this year.

"We should not assume that it came here from Italy in late February just because the first confirmed case did so," he told the Dáil.

Mr Varadkar said retrospective testing suggested the virus was circulation in France as far back as December last year, before it was even had a name or test.

This in some ways "was not surprising as France was well connected to China with dozens of flights every day and Ireland is very connected to France".

Comment: We can now add Ireland to the list of countries that have admitted that the coronavirus was in circulation months before and therefore the lockdown was all for nought:

UK health chiefs withholding evidence as to why mass coronavirus testing was abandoned

Greg Clark, the chair of the Commons Science and Technology Committee
'The decision, explicitly, to reject the South Korean approach may be one of the most pivotal decisions made during this pandemic'

Health chiefs are refusing to disclose evidence to justify the controversial decision to abandon mass testing at the start of the pandemic, a senior MP has protested.

Greg Clark, the chair of the Commons Science and Technology Committee, attacked Public Health England (PHE) for twice ignoring his request to reveal it - warning an official sanction might follow.

"It is of crucial importance to be able to learn the lessons," Mr Clark said, at the beginning of a fresh evidence session.

"So it is very regrettable and concerning that this evidence is being withheld from the committee."

Comment: Just what are they hiding? What we do know is that when they were able to implement mass testing for the coronavirus, they CHOSE to not do so; is this because the virus had already infected much of the population, who were asymptomatic, as we know to be the case with France, Sweden, Ireland and Italy? And with such such data they would been unable to hystericize the population and enforce the unprecedented, tyrannical and destructive measures? Considering the incalculable destruction to the economy and civil liberties because of the lockdown, withholding evidence should be considered a heinous criminal offence.

Were 'conspiracy theorists' right? Bill Gates-supported Moderna Inc. prepares mid-stage trials for covid-19 vaccine

coronavirus vaccine
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supported drug developer, Moderna Inc. said on Thursday it expects mid-stage trials for its COVID-19 vaccine to begin shortly while late-stage trials are expected to begin early summer, as the drug developer accelerates its efforts to combat the pandemic.

The drug developer had previously said it expected mid-stage trials to begin in the current quarter, with the aim to start late-stage studies in the fall.

As FRN reported on May 5th:
Given that most recent reports confirm that Gates' backed beneficiary Moderna will be delivering the first untested vaccines, 'expedited due to the situation', it creates very serious questions of ulterior motives and a conflict of interest for forcing the UK into quarantine.

""Moderna Therapeutics' research has considerable potential for the development of an effective prevention intervention for HIV, and potentially other infectious diseases that disproportionately affect the world's poorest people." - Trevor Mundel, president of Global Health at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation"
Moderna Inc.'s website recognizes the significant financial contributions made to its research, which it plans to capitalize on as a for-profit drug company. Indeed, shares of the drug developer jumped 14% to $55.97 before the bell.

Comment: With Dr. Faust's Fauci's blessing, Moderna is going ahead with mass production of this experimental DNA-editing vaccine. They don't give two hoots how the trials turn out - they've already ordered a BILLION of them to be made...

Let's not forget, it's not just Gates that's backing Moderna - Darpa has their fingers in them too and very little good can come out of it. See also:

Best of the Web: British swamp creature Mark Sedwill is leveraging Corona1984 to return UK to EU

British swamp creature meets American counterpart
As the start of returning to some kind of normal, the prime minister will join an international conference today, and describe the hunt for a vaccine as 'the most urgent shared endeavour of our lifetimes - it is humanity against the virus", adding "only a mass-produced vaccine will defeat it".

So once Boris Johnson has - by talking utter claptrap - finally declared himself firmly on the globalist Big Pharma enforced vaccination team, I really do think it's time to stop the data analysis paralysis and move on towards what active, thinking people can do to resist what's coming next.

It is a sad statement on BoJo that his opinion of ordinary people is so rock-bottom, he is sure they will believe that a coronavirus with a global death rate of 0.03% is about to become the agent fauchage of Homo sapiens. Even sadder is the reality that he is almost certainly correct.

DOJ drops case against Michael Flynn in wake of explosive memo release - UPDATE: Van Grack resigns from Flynn case

Flynn
The Justice Department on Thursday moved to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, in a stunning development that comes 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.

The announcement came in a court filing "after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information," as the department put it. DOJ officials said they concluded that Flynn's interview by the FBI was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn" and that the interview was "conducted without any legitimate investigative basis."

The federal judge overseeing the case would have to make the final determination to dismiss it.

Comment:

UPDATE 07/05/2020: Brandon Van Grack has resigned from Flynn's and other government cases after being caught hiding Brady material:

Mr. Van Grack withdrew as counsel for the government in other cases as well.

His DOJ career may be over.


In February, Flynn's defense argued the government withheld evidence exculpatory to Flynn as a series of retaliatory actions against Fly

Flynn's lawyers accused Brandon Van Grack of suppressing evidence to protect "the prosecutors, his team, and the cadre of malfeasant FBI agents from the discovery of their negligence, crimes, and wrongs."

"Mr. Van Grack has suppressed evidence from the formation of the "Special Counsel Investigation" and likely even prior to it — for the very purpose of putting Mr. Flynn in the unjust position he now occupies while protecting the prosecutors, his team, and the cadre of malfeasant FBI agents from the discovery of their negligence, crimes, and wrongs," Flynn's lawyer wrote.

On Tuesday it was reported Brandon Van Grack failed to produce all evidence including favorable evidence on General Flynn to his attorneys.

If there is any justice in this country, Brandon Van Grack would be referred to the state bar for disbarment then prosecuted for setting up Flynn and repeatedly lying to the court.

Flynn bombshells cast doubt on Mueller weasel Brandon Van Grack's compliance with Brady court order

Gregg Re

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn
Explosive, newly unsealed evidence documenting the FBI's efforts to target national security adviser Michael Flynn -- including 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" -- calls into question whether Brandon Van Grack, a Justice Department prosecutor and former member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Team, complied with a court order to produce favorable evidence to Flynn.

Since February 2018, Van Grack has been obligated to comply with D.C. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan's standing order in the Flynn case to produce all evidence in the government's possession "that is favorable to defendant and material either to defendant's guilt or punishment."

The order also requires the government to submit favorable defense evidence to the court, including possible "impeachment evidence" that could undermine witnesses, even if the government believes the evidence "not to be material."

Comment: The New York Post comments further:
FBI Director Christopher Wray is under fire as his agency faces backlash over its handling of the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to reports.

Top Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee sent Wray a letter Monday demanding he reveal when he "personally knew of the FBI's misconduct" with respect to the Flynn investigation, according to Axios.

The letter, written by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Mike Johnson (R-La.), questions the motives of the embattled FBI chief, asking him why the public "is learning of the FBI's misconduct with respect to [Lt. Gen.] Flynn from court filings rather than from you."

The news comes as frustration has mounted among President Trump and his allies over Wray's lack of reaction to the newly released documents in Flynn's case, in which the then-counterintelligence director of the bureau openly questioned whether the agency's "goal" was to "get him to lie."

Trump is not happy with Wray's handling of the situation and would love to replace him, three sources who have discussed the matter with the commander-in-chief told Axios over the weekend.

Trump "has never felt like Wray was his guy" and does not trust him to "change the culture" at the FBI, a source told the outlet.

The president, however, is unlikely to do so before November, those sources said, citing advisers who don't want to cause controversy by firing a second FBI director so close to the election.

A spokesperson for the FBI told The Post in a statement,
"Under Director Wray's leadership, the FBI has fully cooperated and been transparent with the review being conducted by U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen, just as it has been with U.S. Attorney John Durham and was with Inspector General Michael Horowitz. With regard to certain documents in the Michael Flynn matter from the 2016-2017 time period that are now the subject of reporting by the press, the FBI previously produced those materials to the Inspector General and U.S. Attorney Durham.

"The Flynn investigation was initiated and conducted during this time period, under prior FBI leadership. Since taking office, Director Wray has stressed the importance of strictly abiding by established processes, without exception. Director Wray remains firmly committed to addressing the failures under prior FBI leadership while maintaining the foundational principles of rigor, objectivity, accountability, and ownership in fulfilling the Bureau's mission to protect the American people and defend the Constitution."

On May 1st, the US and British warships decided to conduct a surprise anti-submarine exercise in the Barents Sea, above the Arctic Circle.

Four ships from two nations, a U.S. submarine, and a U.S. P8-A worked together, in the Norwegian Sea, to conduct training in the challenging conditions in the Arctic.

For the exercise, Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers USS Donald Cook and USS Porter, and fast combat support ship USNS Supply, were joined by the Royal Navy's HMS Kent.

Additionally, a U.S. submarine, as well as a P8-A Poseidon multi-mission maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft from Patrol Squadron (VP) 4 supported the training.
