No interest in facts: ABC "This Week" panel shouts down truth of DNC dossier collusion

Fox and Friends' co-host Brian Kilmeade walked into a lion's den during his book tour on Sunday when he appeared ABC's This Week as a part of a panel that was stacked against him. A fairly large segment of their roundtable discussion was about the infamous Trump dossier that was put together by a British spy, Russian agents, and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Everything got extremely heated when the liberal panel began to shout Kilmeade down and ludicrously claim there was no connection between Clinton/Democrats and the Russians via the dossier.

When Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos first brought up the dossier for this panel to discuss, he called on Clinton campaign staffer Karen Kinney to set up their talking points. "Yeah, but again, that dossier, came from an American company that we-that originally been funded by Republicans as you have mentioned earlier," she argued. "I think what's important though is less who funded it and [more] what was in the dossier."


Comment: How surprising. This wasn't the sentiment when the Clinton emails were released. Then it was all about who released them rather than the information contained within.


Comment: ABC understands who butters their bread.

Neocon news outlet The Washington Free Beacon says it was original funder of Trump dossier

The Washington Free Beacon was the original funder of the anti-Trump opposition research paper with Fusion GPS.


The Washington Free Beacon informed House Intelligence officials on Friday that it was the original funder for the anti-Trump Fusion GPS opposition research.

The news site is funded by neoconservative leader Paul Singer, who was an anti-Trumper and Marco Rubio supporter.

Neocon chief, and Iraq WMD architect, Bill Kristol is also rumored to be behind the publication. Kristol was a very public Trump hater during the primaries, and is a vocal anti-Trumper advocate to this day.
Singer reportedly donated $2.5 million to the Marco Rubio campaign. Paul Singer is also a top Paul Ryan donor.

Singer has donated millions to Paul Ryan over the years.

Comment: Oh what a tangled web they weave, when they want to produce a dodgy dossier!

Deposed Catalan leader Puigdemont continues to defy Madrid as pro-unity protests take Barcelona

Pro-unity protesters gathered for a rally in Catalonia's capital Barcelona on Sunday, two days after regional lawmakers voted to break away from Spain, plunging the country into an unprecedented political crisis.

As protesters gathered for the march, the deputy president of the region's now-deposed government lashed out against Madrid over what he called a "coup d'etat".

"The president of the country is and will remain Carles Puigdemont," his deputy Oriol Junqueras wrote in Catalan newspaper El Punt Avui.

Junqueras used the word "country" to refer to Catalonia, whose lawmakers pushed Spain into uncharted waters Friday with a vote to declare the region independent.

"We cannot recognise the coup d'etat against Catalonia, nor any of the anti-democratic decisions that the PP (Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's ruling Popular Party) is adopting by remote control from Madrid," Junqueras wrote.

He signed the article as the "vice president of the government of Catalonia".

There were fears on Saturday that Mr Puigdemont faced imminent arrest after he continued to defy Madrid by standing by the declaration of independence he led in Catalonia's parliament.

Comment: It will not be easy for the pro-independence parties when not all of Catalonia is convinced of their cause. The Catalan police chief has resigned and urged colleagues to be loyal to the new Madrid-appointed chief.

James Jesus Angleton: Inside the paranoid and pathological mind of a CIA chief


Comment: The following article from 2012 provides a glimpse into the paranoid mind of a senior CIA operative. James Jesus Angleton was not a one-off. They may not all have been as paranoid as this one, but they were (and still are) probably all just as pathological...

James Jesus Angleton: probably a pscyhopath
As chief of CIA counterintelligence, James Angleton famously described his world as a "wilderness of mirrors."

This week, that wilderness will be revisited at a joint conference on Angleton's legacy held jointly by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and Georgetown University's Center for Security Studies.

As the author of three books on the CIA, I was honored to be asked to participate as a speaker. But my first thought on hearing about the conference was: Why waste time on Angleton?

Today, no one in the CIA or FBI considers Angleton, who died in 1987, to have been anything other than a paranoid conspiracy theorist who paralyzed CIA intelligence operations against the Soviet Union and never caught a spy.

Upon further reflection, however, I recognized how important the conference is. That's because defenders of Angleton continue to confuse the public about Angleton's legacy and his approach.

Sarah Sanders tweets: Hillary aide "damn glad" DNC "colluded" with Russians

clinton cash
First of all, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders is phenomenal at the podium.

She's a Southern-fried firebrand and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to calling out the lies and misleading rhetoric of the Fake News media and their propaganda machine.

Next, her Twitter firestorm is one that could monumentally shake the foundation of the Democratic Party.


Wew lads. It's a big one. Go ahead and reel in those who take the hook and filet them for tomorrow's Sunday night dinner.

Anyone who tries to dispute this is quickly being reeled into the stringer line just waiting to be cleaned and brought home to prepare.

Comment: Fallon said: "I am damn glad [Marc Elias] pursued this on behalf of our campaign and only regret more of this material was not verified in time for the voters to learn it before the election." The "Russian collusion" angle of the dossier is the least credible, and least important, aspect of the scandal. But it's the most attention-grabbing. That said, even if Steele didn't actually have any legitimate Russian sources, the DNC was certainly willing to "collude" with Russians if it meant getting dirt on Trump - no matter how dubious in nature. In that sense, they did what they accused Trump Jr. of doing - only they actually went through with it. The Junior Donald didn't: Remember when the media went hysterical over Trump Jr.'s willingness to accept Russian dirt on Hillary?

Julian Assange and Roger Stone
Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone's account was suspended by Twitter on Saturday - but the self-styled agent provocateur is vowing to return to the social network.

"I have been informed that I have been suspended for 3 hours and 12 minutes," Stone told Fox News in a text message. "While I am uncertain why, sometimes the stark truth offends some people."

Added Stone, "I'll be baaaaaak."

As of Saturday evening, the @RogerJStoneJr account was still unavailable. "This account has been suspended," the page for Stone's account read.

A Twitter spokesperson told Fox News they do not comment on individual accounts. But the company cited its policy on abusive behavior that states users "may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others."

Comment: Julian Assange came to Stone's defense with the following:

#MeToo: Obama campaign paid $1mln to law firm that hired Fusion GPS

Former president Barack Obama's official campaign organization has directed nearly a million dollars to the same law firm that funneled money to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the infamous Steele dossier. Since April of 2016, Obama For America (OFA) has paid over $972,000 to Perkins Coie, records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show.

The Washington Post reported last week that Perkins Coie, an international law firm, was directed by both the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton's campaign to retain Fusion GPS in April of 2016 to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump. Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy, to compile a dossier of allegations that Trump and his campaign actively colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 election. Though many of the claims in the dossier have been directly refuted, none of the dossier's allegations of collusion have been independently verified. Lawyers for Steele admitted in court filings last April that his work was not verified and was never meant to be made public.

OFA, Obama's official campaign arm in 2016, paid nearly $800,000 to Perkins Coie in 2016 alone, according to FEC records. The first 2016 payments to Perkins Coie, classified only as "Legal Services," were made April 25-26, 2016, and totaled $98,047. A second batch of payments, also classified as "Legal Services," were disbursed to the law firm on September 29, 2016, and totaled exactly $700,000. Payments from OFA to Perkins Coie in 2017 totaled $174,725 through August 22, 2017.

According to the statement, the commission has made such decision "because of not having candidates at the specified time and current new developments."
