Deputy Head of Counterintelligence - FBI Agent Peter Strzok is either the hardest working politically-biased FBI investigator in the history of the agency, or he's being set-up as a scapegoat.

Consider:
  • Peter Strzok was the lead FBI agent in charge of the 2015/2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation. - Agent Strzok was one of a small group who actually interviewed Hillary Clinton. - Agent Strzok was also the person who interviewed Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, granting them immunity. - Agent Strzok created the wordingfor the Comey/Clinton exoneration
  • Strzok was the counterintelligence investigator for the 2016 'vast Russian conspiracy', narrative. - Agent Strzok was also the FBI contact person to receive the Russian Dossier and interview the author Christopher Steele.
  • Agent Peter Strzok was then hired by Robert Mueller to lead the FBI investigative efforts into the "Russian Election Collusion/Conspiracy." - Agent Strzok was the person who interviewed National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
  • Agent Strzok was then removed from the Mueller Team after the anti-Trump/pro-Clinton content of his internal communications were discovered by the ongoing Inspector General investigation.

War on Free Speech: How Russia-gate Rationalizes Censorship

Robert Mueller Capitol Hill

At the end of October, I wrote an article for Consortium News about the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign paying for unvetted opposition research that became the basis for much of the disputed story about Russia allegedly interfering in the 2016 presidential election on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The piece showed that the Democrats' two paid-for sources that have engendered belief in Russia-gate are at best shaky. First was former British spy Christopher Steele's largely unverified dossier of second- and third-hand opposition research portraying Donald Trump as something of a Russian Manchurian candidate.

And the second was CrowdStrike, an anti-Putin private company, examining the DNC's computer server to dubiously claim discovery of a Russian "hack." In a similar examination of an alleged hack of a Ukrainian artillery app, CrowdStrike also blamed Russia but used faulty data for its report that it was later forced to rewrite. CrowdStrike was hired after the DNC refused to allow the FBI to look at the server.

More bad news for Wasserman Schultz as lawsuit claims husband tried to rip off elderly homeowner

Debbie Wasserman Schultz
To steal the words of Queen Elizabeth, 2017 will go down as an "annus horribilis" for the family of U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

In the wake of Wasserman Schultz's roasting in Democratic Party stalwart Donna Brazile's book and the Weston politician's failure to fire a tech aide who was under FBI investigation, her husband is now accused of trying to rip off an elderly homeowner, according to a lawsuit recently filed in Fort Lauderdale.

Broward banker Steve Schultz, Wasserman-Schultz's husband of 26 years, allegedly tried to have 70-year-old investor Frank DiMaria hand over the deed of his troubled $4 million commercial property in Pompano Beach to Schultz personally, according to the complaint.

More details are emerging on Mueller's Russia probe, and are exposing just how corrupt and biased the investigation truly is.

Mike Huckabee nailed it by saying the Mueller probe stinks worse than cabbage cooking in a small, unventilated kitchen - with sardines on the side, and is calling for an investigation of the probe.

Electoral Coup attempt in Honduras: Evidence of fraud

Honduras demonstration manifestación
Honduras is in crisis. Results from the election last Sunday have been delayed day after day but could be announced any moment. There have been streets protests for the past several days with several people killed. Constitutional rights have been suspended and a curfew imposed.

The current president and National Party candidate, Juan Orlando Hernandez, has reportedly flown to Washington DC for consultation. Honduras is a US ally and the only Central America country to host US military base and forces. If Juan Orlando Hernandez is declared winner of the election it will likely result in increased mass protests and violence.

Comment: As usual, it is not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes. No wonder the Honduran people are upset:

Honduras election turmoil has people protesting in the streets just as they did after US-backed coup in 2009

White House: Report that Mueller has subpoenaed Trump's bank records is false

Sarah Huckabee Sanders
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday disputed reports that special counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed President Trump's bank records.

"We confirmed that the news reports [that] the special counsel had subpoenaed financial records related to the president are completely false," Sanders said during the daily press briefing.

"No subpoena has been issued or received. We have confirmed this with the bank and other sources. I think this is another example of the media going too far and too fast and we don't see it going in that direction," she said.

Citing an anonymous and unidentified official, Reuters reported earlier Tuesday that Mueller's team had subpoenaed records from Deutsche Bank, where Trump is believed to have a line of credit and to have conducted tens of millions of dollars in transactions.

Dismissed FBI agent Strzok falsified statement that would've implicated Hillary Clinton in a Crime

hillary clinton mueller
Washington, D.C. - Over the weekend, information about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's top FBI investigator into 'Russian meddling', agent Peter Strzok, being removed from the probe due to the discovery of anti-Trump/pro-Clinton text messages exchanged with a colleague (a colleague whom he also happened to be having an extra-marital affair with) broke.

Now, new information has come to light that reveals that Strzok not only played a leading role in the Hillary Clinton email investigation but potentially saved her from prosecution by changing then FBI Director James Comey's final statement to read that Clinton was "extremely careless" rather than the original language of "grossly negligent."

Comment: The CNN article further explains:
The shift from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for "gross negligence."
In other words, Hillary did commit a crime under US federal law and deserved a penalty according to the FBI. But she's cool and can walk away because of semantics (plus she has pals in the Bureau).

"No, I will not touch you," Lopez told the press at a Monday morning press conference in Sacramento as she recalled the words she used to let Dababneh, of Van Nuys, know that she rejected his behavior. Prior to Monday, she had refused to name the man she said had sexually harassed her.

Dababneh represents the 45th Assembly District, which located in the western San Fernando Valley.

Democratic Congressman John Conyers retires amid sexual harassment allegations - and endorses his son to replace him

Representative John Conyers, Jr. (D-Michigan) has announced his retirement from Congress, amid allegations of sexual misconduct. His departure was effective immediately, his lawyer said.

"I am retiring today," Conyers, 88, said Tuesday on a Detroit radio show. "And I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the support - the incredible, undiminished support I've received across the years from my supporters, not only in my district but across the country as well."

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) read a letter from Conyers to his colleagues on the House floor, saying he notified Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) that he was vacating his seat.

"Given the totality of the circumstance of not being afforded the right of due process in conjunction with current health conditions and to preserve my legacy and good name, I am retiring," the letter said, according to AFP.

Comment: Previously: It turns out that Conyers' plan is to quit without quitting, as he has endorsed his son John Conyers III to take his seat in Congress - except that his grand-nephew already said he would run. This should be interesting!
