Tucker Carlson: Peter Strzok's anti-Trump messages look like they're from a "drunk guy on Facebook"

These are the very same agents in the FBI who assured all of America that Russia "meddled" in the US election.

Nine out of fifteen members of Robert Mueller's team are Hillary Clinton donors. At least one worked for Hillary personally.

Why did Robert Mueller hide the reason for Peter Strzok's demotion for so many months?

Why has Mueller consistently stonewalled, when asked to hand over information on Strzok's text messages and his demotion?

Strzok's text messages to his mistress, Lisa Page, are as Tucker Carlson notes, "devastating!"

The FBI's top investigators look like a bunch of little children texting each other back and forth with "OMG" text messages.

New York Times once described Peter Strzok as "one of the most experienced and trusted FBI counter intelligence investigators." More NYT fake news.


Comment: The anti-Trump, anti-Russia "investigation" is coming apart at the seams. If only the people involved could grasp what utter and complete idiots they look like. This is the political equivalent of getting roped in by one of those "Nigerian doctor" email scams. No wonder they're all trying to cover their backsides and hype their trivial indictments of Flynn et al. In short, they've got a lot to hide, lest they admit to the world that they're bungling halfwits. See also:

Fusion GPS admits DOJ official Ohr's wife was hired to dig up dirt on Trump

A co-founder of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS acknowledged in a new court document that his company hired the wife of a senior Justice Department official to help investigate then-candidate Donald Trump last year.

The confirmation from Glenn Simpson came in a signed declaration filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and provided a fuller picture of the nature of Nellie Ohr's work - after Fox News first reported on her connection to Fusion GPS.

Her husband, Bruce Ohr, was demoted at the DOJ last week for concealing his meetings with the same company, which commissioned the anti-Trump "dossier" containing salacious allegations about the now-president. Together, the Fusion connections for Mr. and Mrs. Ohr have raised Republican concerns about objectivity at the Justice Department, and even spurred a call from Trump's outside counsel for a separate special prosecutor.

Simpson's statement shows Mrs. Ohr was indeed involved in the Trump research. He said bank records reflect Fusion GPS contracted with her "to help our company with its research and analysis of Mr. Trump."

Comment: Evidence of Russian collusion: none. Evidence of FBI/DOJ/DNC collusion: off the charts. As Joe Quinn wrote today:

Subverting American Democracy: The FBI's 'Insurance Policy' Against a Trump Win and the Dodgy Russian Dossier
While Clinton, the FBI and the US 'deep state' accused Trump of colluding with Russians to subvert American democracy, the truth is precisely the opposite: Clinton, the FBI and the US 'deep state' colluded to subvert American democracy. Russia was merely the patsy of choice, as usual.

The whole Russiagate "investigation" was based on the Fusion GPS dossier. Every lead seems to come back to that piece of tabloid fiction. But the dossier is now thoroughly discredited, and by extension, so are all those who took it seriously. Everyone connected - from the instigators, to those who facilitated the surveillance, to those who repeated its claims and used them as justification to 'get Trump' - is at risk of being exposed for facilitating this illegal witch-hunt spurred on by pure hysteria.

In short, no one comes out of this looking clean. Except Trump. Which is why the DoJ, FBI and Intel community are doing everything they can to draw attention away from their own complicity and conspiracy. Congressman Jordan is correct. The US needs a new special counsel - not to investigate imaginary Russian collusion, but to investigate the very real, and very extensive, collusion to manufacture a justification for taking down the democratically-elected president of the USA.

New investigation concludes US and EU weapons boosted 'quantity & quality' of ISIS arsenal

A new investigation revealed much of advanced weaponry used by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) fighters came from supplies the US and EU brought to the region. The study of jihadist weaponry claims to be the most comprehensive to date.

The investigation by the London-based Conflict Armament Research (CAR) concludes that the weapons supplied to opposition groups "significantly augmented the quantity and quality of weapons available to IS forces in numbers far beyond those that would have been available to the group through battlefield capture alone."

Hanan Ashrawi: US has made Israeli-Palestinian peace talks superfluous

A senior member of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) has denounced US Vice President Mike Pence over his apparent regret that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas refused a meeting with him.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Hanan Ashrawi said on Monday that the US has made any peace talks between Israel and Palestine "irrelevant and superfluous" with its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

"The US administration has totally ripped apart the very legal foundation for peace in the region with their latest recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital," she said.

Comment: Trump's decision has changed the negotiating landscape, and that's not in itself a bad thing. The peace talks have been stalled for years and all the while Israel has been squeezing the Gaza Strip and the West Bank like a python slowly choking the life out of its prey. At least now there's the possibility of something different.

Donald Trump Jr.'s lawyer sent a letter to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence demanding an inquiry into leaks that took place during and after Don Jr.'s interview with the committee on December 6th, New York Mag reported.

The voluntary interview, which took over 8 hours was conducted under oath was to be kept strictly confidential and would not be discussed publicly unless the Committee voted on the release of the transcripts.

It is very obvious that someone is leaking parts of his interview to the press...Adam Schiff, all eyes are on you.

Via Yashar Ali, contributor to New York Mag:
The letter was sent to Representative Mike Conaway of Texas, who took over the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election from Devin Nunes, after Nunes recused himself earlier this year.

The letter says that Trump Jr. and his attorneys were promised that the interview would be "kept strictly confidential and not discussed publicly unless and until the full committee voted to release the transcript."

Trump Jr. and his attorney say that while he was still being interviewed, "members of the committee and/or their staff began selectively leaking information provided during the interview to various press outlets, most notably CNN."

FBI agents' texts imply insider scheme to thwart Trump presidency prior to Russia probe

Text message exchanges between a former FBI agent and lawyer from 2016 suggest an insider scheme against then-candidate Donald Trump ahead of the alleged Trump-Russia collusion probe, which they both worked on.
"I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office"-- apparently a reference to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe -- "that there's no way he gets elected -- but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40 . . . ."
That was just one of the anti-Trump text messages former FBI agent Peter Strzok sent to former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, whom he dated.

In another exchange from August 2016, Page forwarded a Trump-related article to Strzok, and wrote:
"And maybe you're meant to stay where you are because you're meant to protect the country from that menace."
Page's stint with the FBI had ended by the time Strzok was removed from the special counsel Russia investigation this past summer when the text messages were apparently discovered by the FBI. The time of the text messages between the two former FBI employees spanned from August to December 2016. Strzok also helped open the investigation into alleged collusion between President Trump and Russia.


Comment: The investigation of (not) Russian involvement was always doomed for lack of evidence. Instead, the intent and collusion to tank the Trump win keeps surfacing. Appointing Mueller to turn over every rock may have been a brilliant gamble on Trump's part to illuminate the real corruption and take out the whole FBI-DNC-Killary-Obama-Mueller lot.

According to The Daily WIre:
"Trump's best tactic is to sit tight - now, no matter what, half the country is going to believe that Mueller's investigation was never motivated by truth. That's a win for Trump, and an automatic loss for Mueller."

Pyongyang: Russian delegation to encourage direct talks, Tillerson no preconditions...but drills go on

Russian Defense Ministry representatives have arrived in the North Korean capital. It is the second visit by Russian officials in two weeks, and comes as Washington claims it is ready for direct talks with Pyongyang, while still staging war games in the turbulent region.

The delegation is headed by Deputy Director of the Russian National Defense Command Center Viktor Kalganov, and has been on assignment in North Korea since Tuesday. The officials are to remain in Pyongyang for the rest of the week.

There has been no word on their mission from the Russian military. However, almost simultaneously with news of the visit, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow is using "any opportunity for direct communication" and will continue to do so, including with the help of the Defense Ministry. "North Korea is our neighbor, we must develop relations with this country," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said during a briefing on Wednesday. "Political dialogue is extremely important," he added.

Comment: Russian delegation: The grown-ups in the room. Tillerson and Trump may be onboard, but the State Department is still squeamish.

State Department walks back Tillerson's signal for talks with N. Korea

State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert appeared to walk back statements by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson calling for negotiations with North Korea. Nauert said Pyongyang would have to suspend weapons tests before talks could take place.

"We're ready to talk anytime they'd like to talk," Tillerson said on Tuesday, during a question-and-answer session at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC. "We are ready to have the first meeting without preconditions. Let's just meet."

On Wednesday, Nauert said that Tillerson's comments were not an announcement of a shift in US policy. North Korea would have to suspend its weapons program before any talks could talk place, "and we certainly haven't seen that right now," she said.

Tillerson had signaled that the Trump administration was ready to negotiate without demanding North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles programs. "It's not realistic to say we are only going to talk if you come to the table ready to give up your program," he said. "They have too much invested in it."

Comment: What is with the State Department? Russia has its delegation in Pyongyang to encourage talks and de-escalate tensions - the US, so far, has none.

Cameron advises Trump to stop whining about CNN and focus on 'Russian bots'

Donald Trump is undermining democracy by repeatedly attacking news organizations that criticize him, says David Cameron, the former British PM, urging the US chief to stop throwing tantrums about CNN and to focus instead on 'Russian bots.'

Cameron claimed the real fake news emanates from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian corruption, and Twitter bots that create the false appearance of genuine news and opinion. Cameron said the POTUS' war on media is "an attempt to question the whole legitimacy of organizations that have an important role in our democracy."

"Let me put it like this: President Trump, 'fake news' is not broadcasters criticizing you, it's Russian bots and trolls targeting your democracy, pumping out untrue stories day after day, night after night," Cameron said in a lecture in London for Transparency International.

"When you misappropriate the term 'fake news' you are deflecting attention from real abuses. Ignoring what's happening on social media is facilitating a form of corruption that is undermining democracy."

Cameron's comments come as accusations against Russia's influence, both online and in political campaigns, are repeatedly debunked. On Tuesday, the former head of the UK's intelligence agency MI6 dismissed claims that Russia had any sway in the Brexit referendum.

Comment: Trump has nailed this. Cameron should 'take a page' from The Master.

JFK tried to make peace with Russia and was assassinated, Trump 'bent the knee' instead

JFK splinter CIA
Robert Mueller's investigation of the Trump administration confirms the overarching power of the national-security establishment section of the federal government and what happens when a president bucks that power.

At the center of the controversy is Russia, which the Pentagon and the CIA and their assets and acolytes in the mainstream press and Washington, D.C., establishment, have deemed to be an official enemy of the United States.


Comment: See:

No, there is no war going on between Russia and the United States, at least not in the shooting and bombing sense. This war is a repeat of the old Cold War that began after World War II, when U.S. officials decreed that America's World War II partner and ally, the Soviet Union (whose principal member was Russia), was now to be considered an official enemy by the American people.
