Watching The Daily Show's Trevor Noah suck up to Hillary Clinton after all the news about her Uranium One pay to play and the Trump Dossier, is hard to watch and makes one's stomach churn.

Hillary Clinton admitted to Noah that she DID pay for the Trump dossier, and Noah failed to jump on the stunning revelation, lobbing softball question after softball question at "Crooked Hillary".

Even worse...Hillary defended her illegal actions as standard "opposition research", justified by the fact that she paid for the information, while saying that Trump talking to "Russians" (which is still unproven to this day) is much worse because he did not pay for such things? WTF!!!

Docs show FBI Deputy Director McCabe didn't recuse himself from Clinton email investigation until week before election

Comey and McCabe
James Comey and Andrew McCabe
Judicial Watch today released Justice Department records showing that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe did not recuse himself from the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's unsecure, non-government email server until Tuesday, November 1, 2016, one week prior to the presidential election. The Clinton email probe was codenamed "Midyear Exam."

While working as Assistant Director in Charge of the Washington Field Office, McCabe controlled resources supporting the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's email scandal. An October 2016 internal FBI memorandum labeled "Overview of Deputy Director McCabe's Recusal Related To Dr. McCabe's Campaign for Political Office," details talking points about McCabe's various potential conflicts of interest, including the FBI's investigation of Clinton's illicit server, which officially began in July 2015:
While at [Washington Field Office] did Mr. McCabe provide assistance to the Clinton investigation?

After the referral was made, FBI Headquarters asked the Washington Field Office for personnel to conduct a special investigation. McCabe was serving as [Assistant Director] and provided personnel resources. However, he was not told what the investigation was about. In February 2016 McCabe became Deputy Director and began overseeing the Clinton investigation.
The Overview also shows if asked whether McCabe played any role in his wife's campaign, the scripted response was: "No. Then-[Assistant Director] McCabe played no role, attended no events and did not participate in fundraising or support of any kind."

Comment: Clinton's last few weeks in the media have almost been as bad as her loss of the presidential election. The chances of seeing her behind bars were slim once Trump took office. They probably still are, but we can dream. Either way, these past months have provided a masters-level course in education on the ins and outs of life in the swamp. They're all dirty.

Game-changer? Previously unnoticed FOIA docs suggest FBI may have been investigating Clinton/Uranium One back in August 2015

clinton mueller mccabe rosenstein comey holder obama
Internet researcher Katica (Twitter GOPollAnalyst) may have found the hidden thread that unravels a much bigger story within the Uranium One-Clinton-FBI scandal.

In an otherwise innocuous FBI FOIA FILE Katica located a notice for preservation of documents sent by an FBI special agent to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on August 28th, 2015. What is interesting about the preservation request(s) are the recipients, their attachment to CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States), and the timeline of events surrounding the agent's notification.

The time-line here is very important as it might change the perception of exactly what the FBI was investigating as it relates to Hillary Clinton's email scandal. Therefore a backdrop to understand content and context is important.

Up to now the general perception of the FBI's involvement surrounding the Clinton emails has been against the backdrop of using a personal email server to conduct business, and the potential for unlawful transmission of classified data.

Comment: The only thing interesting about the Uranium One "scandal" so far is that it exposes Hillary and her clan as total hypocrites. Other than that, it is all just business as usual; this is how DC has always done "business". It is nice to see the Clintonistas sweat, however. See also:

Put on the hip waders: This week's recap of corporate media bullcrap

bullcrap
Another week, another influx of corporate media bullcrap to wade through. Where to start! Pointing out the never ending stream of garbáge that is peddled by these faux-journalists who populate the Corporate State Media is like counting the number of stars in the midnight sky. The irony of it all, the minute I cracked open my laptop to write this article, the hounds at Fox News started to yammer about the pizza wars between Papa Johns, Pizza Hut and Digiorno-this is the sad face of corporate journalism.

However, the imbecility of Fox News has nothing on to the mendacity of two stories I want to cover for this inaugural launching of "Recap of Corporate Media Bullcrap". There are two narratives in particular that have been peddled by the partisan pundits who disguise themselves as fair minded journalists. What I want you to take away from this article, if nothing else, is that these so-called reporters and pundits employed by corporate media outlets are propagandists and professional shysters. Their quest is not truth, it is to obfuscate the truth and run interference for their partisan comrades and their corporate masters.

Comment: Even for a person not paying close attention, with Trump's election and subsequent non-stop attack on him, the dysfunction and overwhelming corruption of the media and political system in the United States is obvious. How much longer can the show go on before the charade comes crashing down, the curtain is pulled away and the 'deep state' takes overt control via the police state that has been built up over the years?

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that it is Turkey's fundamental right to hit terrorists wherever they are located.

Turkey is determined to eliminate terrorism near its borders and will destroy all the terror camps that will be identified in Iraq and Syria, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday.

"We will destroy every terror camp we identify in Iraq and Syria... It is our fundamental right to hit terrorists wherever they are located," Erdogan was quoted as saying by the Anadolu news agency.

Comment: Sounds like Erdogan is basically giving a warning to the PKK and affiliates to give up their fight against Turkey.

Propaganda fail: WSJ reporter rips on Trump for not demanding death penalty for Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock

Eli Stokols
On Thursday afternoon, Wall Street Journal reporter and MSNBC contributor Eli Stokols ripped into President Trump for not demanding the death penalty for already dead Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.

"The unifying thread is sort of the broad politics of Donald Trump, the ethno-centric nationalism. He did not react this way when a white person shot dozens of people in Las Vegas. He did not come and say we need to do an immediate policy change, we need to give this guy the death penalty," said Eli Stokols.

Germany will spend €400 million ($465 million) on the construction of "up to three new spy satellites" for its intelligence service, RND news group reported, citing security sources. Construction is set to begin this month.

The budget committee of the country's parliament (Bundestag) has already approved financing of the costly project, according to Die Welt. Last year, German news outlets reported that the foreign intelligence agency would receive one espionage satellite. However, according to recent reports, the total may reach three.

Airbus and Bremen-based aerospace company OHB submitted two separate bids to build the new satellite system called 'George,' RND reports. There is also speculation in Berlin about a possible offer from Israel's prime aerospace and aviation manufacturer, IAI, Deutsche Welle says. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) designs and builds missile and space-based systems, civil aircraft, fighter jets, and drones, including the Super Heron drones.

Lifting the curtain: Washington corruption is unparalleled in history

Robert Mueller
Dr. George Szamuely, a distinguished member of the Global Policy Institute of London Metropolitan University, is a British citizen and not a partisan of US politics. He has carefully investigated the so-called Russian dossier and reports that it was entirely the work of the Hillary Democrats.

This fact was known at the beginning both to former CIA director John Brennan and to former FBI director James Comey. Yet both went along with the DNC-invented story of Russian election hacking and Christopher Steele's fake "dossier" on Trump's imagined relations with Russians.

The presstitute media told the lies that they were supposed to tell. The consequence of this plot has been to waste the first year of Trump's presidency and to prevent President Trump from reducing the dangerously high tensions with nuclear power Russia. This is a disservice not only to President Trump but also to the American people and the planet itself.
