For several weeks True Pundit has hammered U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan including her blatant conflicts of interest in the Fusion GPS case.
On Thursday the United States District Court for the District of Columbia re-assigned the Fusion GPS bank record case to a new federal judge, removing Chutkan from making any additional decisions on the case. This is highly unusual move but in this case quite necessary.
Chutkan was presiding over a case that could implicate Barack Obama. She donated campaign cash to Obama. After his election, he appointed both her and her husband as judges. Other Chutkan family members also contributed to Obama's political coffers.
The mere fact that Fusion GPS' bank records could implicate Hillary Clinton and her former boss Obama is reason enough to believe Chutkan would opt on the side of The Swamp, in an effort to further protect Obama and his cartel which at this point may or may not include the federal judge who should have recused herself from the case.
Just days ago the Obama crony helped Fusion GPS seal their financial records to keep its clients secret, after Congress subpoenaed the financial records.

Khalifa Haftar, the would be Libyan General, is not all what he claims to be in the media.
Khalif Haftar is a TRAITOR, he is a WAR CRIMINAL he is a CIA operative and he is ambitious.
Khalifa Haftar was in the Libyan army under Ghadafi and took part in the Chadian wars of the 1970's and 80's. While fighting in Chad, when it appeared that Libya was going to lose the war, he decided to join the CIA and starting fighting against Libya, When it appeared that the war was ending, Ghadafi demanded that Haftar be returned to Libya but the CIA airlifted him to the US and installed him in Langley, VA as a CIA operative. He
lived there in Langley quite comfortably on the backs of the US tax payers for over 20 years. During that time, Khalifa Haftar was tried for treason in Tripoli, in absentia, found guilty and sentenced to death.
But, Haftar had grand illusions to be the leader of Libya. So, he waited for his big break and it came in 2011 when the US/NATO created a false flag revolution to illegally overthrow the legitimate Libyan government.
Haftar was dropped into Libya by the CIA in 2011 to lead the so called "rebels" - 90% of which were radical mercenaries brought into Libya from other countries and 10% were Libyan criminal Islamic radicals who had either been imprisoned or had been living in exile because radical Islamist's were outlawed in Libya.

, Fresh evidence regarding the fate of three disappeared Saudi princes suggests that the Riyadh government could be behind their abduction on European soil and forced return to Saudi Arabia due to their vocal opposition to the regime.
The new information from a new BBC Arabic documentary
Kidnapped! Saudi Arabia's Missing Princes implies that the abduction of the princes is an attempt by the ruling House of Saud to silence high-ranking defectors.
The information suggests that Saudi Arabia has operated a system of illegal abductions to capture dissident princes who have been critical of the government.
They are then allegedly forced back to Saudi Arabia, where they are not heard of again.
The Al-Qaeda linked Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) jihadist group raided an ISIS sleeper cell inside the Idlib Governorate town of Nayrab on Wednesday, Al-Masdar News reported.
HTS media released images showing their raid which resulted in the death of four ISIS terrorists, the seizure of of many vehicles and arms.
Some of the vehicles seized were laced with explosives that were going to be used by the ISIS militants in suicide missions, most likely against HTS.

Following the resignation of UK minister Priti Patel over undisclosed secret meetings with key Israeli politicians and officials, several questions about the competence of British intelligence have surfaced. UK security analysts spoke to Sputnik, giving contrast answers.
Ms. Patel
resigned on November 8, possibly before being sacked by UK Prime Minister Theresa May over a serious breach of the ministerial code,
having held a string of undisclosed meetings with key Israeli government figures during a family holiday in August, without informing the appropriate authorities, including the UK Foreign Office.
A leading intelligence expert has questioned whether UK PM was intentionally not informed and kept in the dark about Ms. Patel's undisclosed series of meetings,
including with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, by the British intelligence services.
Comment: The analysts interviewed by Sputnik might be too forgiving. Perhaps the question is not if UK intel services knew - how could they not? - but that they thought that a government official 'unofficially conspiring' with Israelis to funnel money to the Israeli Army was business as usual.
If intel services did not know, someone in the intel services needs to be sacked.
If they knew and thought it was ok, someone in the intel services needs to be sacked.
If they told Theresa May and she thought it was ok (until the public learned about it and then she had to pretend it was not ok, that is), she needs to be sacked.
The point that everyone seems to be missing is the degree of control that the Israel lobby has on the whole UK political class, as they do in Washington. It is not a case of one government official acting against protocol, but of systemic corruption.
The article ends:
There have been claims this was merely a smokescreen or even, the softening up of the target to ensure an even greater fall from grace as another leak on Tuesday, November 7, revealed Ms. Patel had met two more senior Israeli figures and discussed funneling foreign aid cash for Syrian refugees through the Israeli Defense Force.
Really? Since when have the IDF turned into the Sisters of Charity and plot to secretly help Syrian refugees? Regarding the Syrian war, Israel has done nothing but provide aid to terrorist groups near its borders, hoping that they will in turn hurt Assad. It has also played the role of the terrorist's airforce, routinely bombing Syrian Army positions for no justifiable reason whatsoever.
Taking a closer look, it seems like Sputnik got confused on this point, and here is the source of the confusion.
The Independent says:
A Number 10 spokesman said a conversation had taken place between Ms Patel and Israeli officials, after it was reported that she had suggested funnelling money to the country's armed forces.
Theresa May's spokesman highlighted that the country's army runs a hospital for Syrian refugees, but said the UK currently provides no financial support to Israeli forces and that there would be no change in policy.
Israel runs a hospital close to its border with Syria, but it is not for Syrian refugees. It is for Syrian jihadists - with perhaps the occasional refugee to keep appearances. The UK government is trying to save face by arguing that this could be a possible legitimate recipient of aid. But the bulk of patients of that hospital are not any less jihadists simply because they call them "refugees". Back in June,
ZeroHedge reported:
[A key piece of data] was just revealed by the WSJ and which many had suspected. According to the Journal, Israel and Saudi Arabia have been alligned from the onset of the Syrian conflict, "with Israel supplying Syrian rebels near its border with cash as well as food, fuel and medical supplies for years, a secret engagement in the enemy country's civil war aimed at carving out a buffer zone populated by friendly forces."
The Israeli army is in regular communication with rebel groups and its assistance includes undisclosed payments to commanders that help pay salaries of fighters and buy ammunition and weapons, according to interviews with about half a dozen Syrian fighters. Israel has established a military unit that oversees the support in Syria-a country that it has been in a state of war with for decades-and set aside a specific budget for the aid, said one person familiar with the Israeli operation.
This news comes as a major surprise because while it was well known that Israel has provided medical help for Syrian civilians and fighters inside its own borders in the past, with the IDF retaliating to occasional stray rockets in the restive border region with reprisals, it was previously thought that the Israeli authorities largely stay out of the complicated six-year-old conflict next door.
That now appears to have been dead wrong.
"Israel stood by our side in a heroic way," said Moatasem al-Golani, spokesman for the rebel group Fursan al-Joulan, or Knights of the Golan. "We wouldn't have survived without Israel's assistance."
Al-Joulan is the main rebel group coordinating with Israel, according to fighters. It told the WSJ that Israel's support began as early as 2013 under former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, with the goal of creating a 'buffer zone' free of radical militants such as Isis and Iranian-allied forces along Israel's border. A special Israeli army unit was created to oversee the costly aid operation, the WSJ reported, which gives Fursan al-Joulan - Knights of the Golan - an estimated $5,000 (£3,900) a month. The group of around 400 fighters receives no direct support from Western rebel backers, and is not affiliated with the Free Syrian Army, the official rebel umbrella organisation.
And
Fort Russ in August:
"The world needs to hear about the Israeli generosity of treating Syrian patients in its hospitals", the US Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt said on Tuesday after visiting the Ziv Medical Center in Tsfat.
"These are the stories of Israel that the world needs to hear about, and stories of this kind show how peace can be achieved in the region", Greenblatt said after visiting the hospital, which took care of hundreds of Syrians wounded in the war, including jihadists.
There you have it, helping terrorists was Ms Patel's idea of "International Development".

Moscow has vowed to impose tit-for-tat restrictions on US media if a defense bill currently being considered by Washington is adopted. As part of the bill, US lawmakers have been pushing to impede the work of TV networks allegedly linked to Kremlin.
On Wednesday, House and Senate lawmakers agreed on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the Fiscal Year 2018, which includes a whole chapter titled "Countering Russian Aggression." The bill was earlier proposed by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and submitted by Senator John McCain (R-Arizona).
In response to what the bill
calls Russia's "ongoing aggressive actions," the NDAA proposes to limit Moscow's alleged interference in US and world affairs. That includes spending some $4.6 billion on countering the Russian "threat" in Europe, and $350 million on security aid for Ukraine, including "defensive lethal assistance."
A particularly controversial aspect of the bill is that, if the NDAA is signed into law, American cable and satellite networks would be able to lawfully refuse to provide services to RT, as well as any other channels allegedly linked to the Russian government.

Mohammed Bin Salman's "deep state" coup has taken the world by storm and is becoming one of the most geopolitically disruptive events in the Mideast's recent history. The author wrote about this in four separate articles that the reader is encouraged to skim through if they're not already familiar with his interpretation of what's happening:
The general idea is that the Crown Prince preemptively moved to thwart a pro-US royalist coup against him in response to the socio-economic and religious reforms that he initiated with his Vision 2030 program, as well as in retribution for his daring game-changing Great Power partnerships with China and Russia. Mohammed Bin Salman is also a "Red Prince" in the sense that his anti-oligarchic and Bolshevik maneuver (in terms of strategy and tactics, respectively) could seize upwards of
$800 billion and redirect it to massive public works projects associated with his Vision 2030 plan to transform his feudalist state into a capitalist node along China's New Silk Road, albeit one of the most important in the Eastern Hemisphere due to its tri-continental location at the crossroads of the Afro-Eurasian pivot space.
Comment: Along these lines, Saudi Arabia has ordered its citizens in Lebanon to
depart the country "immediately":
An official source at the Saudi Foreign Ministry said that in light of the situation in the Republic of Lebanon, the Kingdom is asking its visiting citizens and permanent residents in Lebanon to leave as soon as possible. It also advised its citizens not to travel to Lebanon from any international destination.
A well-informed source told Al Mayadeen network that Lebanon will soon provide its formal request for the return of its Prime Minister Saad Hariri who stepped down while visiting Saudi Arabia on Saturday, should he not return to Beirut in the coming days.

A British Minister of Hindu heritage was fired after it emerged that she secretly met Israeli officials in Israel and elsewhere without informing the Foreign Office. Back in Britain she then tried to arrange additional finances for Israel's
arming of al-Qaeda in the Golan heights. The affair shines light on the nefarious influence of the Israel lobby on British politics.
Priti Patel was International Development Secretary, responsible for British aid to various countries and organizations. She is a Thatcherite Conservative, a vocal supporter of Britain's exit from the European Union and of Hindu fascism in India:
She has been a strong cheerleader of the Narendra Modi government, publicly praising a number of its policies including demonetisation.
In August Patel went on a "family holiday" to Israel. Instead of enjoying the beach she met dozens of Israeli officials from Prime Minister Netanyahoo down to the heads of Zionist aid organizations. She was shepherded by one Lord Polak, a long time Israel lobbyist in British politics. Polak accompanied her to every meeting. None of these were disclosed to the British Embassy, the Foreign Office or Downing Street. Cabinet rules demand that all such meetings are coordinated and briefed through these official channels.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman flawlessly executed what can only be described as an anti-oligarchic
Bolshevik "deep state" coup over the weekend in preemptively thwarting a pro-US royalist plot to unseat him in response to the socio-economic and religious reforms that he initiated as part of his ambitious Vision 2030 program, as well as his newfound game-changing Great Power partnerships with China and Russia.
He's not just trying to preserve his own power in the ultimate Machiavellian "Game of Thrones" environment of Saudi royal politics,
but to save Saudi Arabia from what would otherwise be its impending collapse with time if the old order of business is allowed to continue. The absurdly wealthy Kingdom has been bleeding billions of dollars due to the disastrous (and very expensive) War on Yemen that he unwisely commenced roughly two and a half years ago, and falling oil prices during that time have made it impossible for the country to recoup its massive expenses from this ongoing campaign.
Not only that, but Saudi Arabia ridiculously boasts over a million public sector employees and an uncomfortably high 12,5% unemployment rate in a country where 70% of the population is under the age of 30. In addition, the Kingdom's macroeconomic riches are largely concentrated in the hands of the royal family,
whereas the rest of the country mostly trudges onward in a state of semi-feudalism where wealth has never truly "trickled down" to them.
Comment: If these are Salman's intentions, he's going to come up against some big enemies, as Korybko describes. It might not be too long before he finds himself facing a jihadist insurgency, directed and supported by you know who. See also:
