Obama ally and former Congresswoman Corinne Brown convicted of 18 felonies, faces life in prison

Corinne Brown and Obama
Close Obama ally, Florida Democrat Corrine Brown, faces what could amount to life in prison after being convicted of 18 felonies!

As she was stealing scholarship money from school children, Corrine Brown flew with Obama, partied with Pelosi, and campaigned for Clinton, and she was a Superdelegate!

The FBI proved that Brown 'exploited the needs of children and deceived her constituents to advance her own personal and political agendas'. The FBI said the Congresswoman raised over $800,000 in donations for a charity she was linked to while scholarships from that charity only amounted to $1,200.

The verdict came just three days after closing arguments. Brown was shown to have lived the high life on cash that aides secretly deposited in her bank account after passing it through other accounts.

She is expected to be sentenced within 120 days.

Deny or confirm the leak? Trump reportedly rages at Palestine's Abbas for 'lying to him'

Donald Trump and Mahmoud Abbas
Israel's Channel 2 TV reports, citing unidentified American with knowledge of encounter, President Trump shouted at Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas during meeting in Bethlehem, questioning his commitment to peace.

Trump met with Abbas in Bethlehem last week during his two-day visit to Israel. The two held a joint press conference, at which time the president praised Abbas' commitment to restarting negotiations with Israel for a final status agreement. But according to a report by Israel's Channel 2 TV on Sunday evening, the closed-door meeting between the president and the PA chairman was anything but cordial.

As IsraelNationalNews.com reports, a US official present during the meeting claims the president expressed outrage with Abbas, yelling at him regarding Abbas' claims that his Fatah faction was not involved in anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement.
"You tricked me in Washington," the president is said to have yelled at Abbas, referencing the PA leader's March trip to the US capital.

Donald Trump and Steve bannon

Deep State 'leaks' anti-Trump propaganda to fake news MSM outlets as irresponsible media reports baseless accusations

deep state
Here is updated analysis of the most recent so called 'leaks' being reported and repeated by the liberal mainstream media (MSM) involving President Trump. The probability that a portion of these 'leaks' are completely inaccurate remains very high.

The leaks are all being reported by biased liberal media outlets that were adamantly opposed to the election of President Trump.

These 'leaks' in all cases still are not supported with any names of so-called sources and in all cases the 'leaks' are meant to destroy the current President.

Comment: If these media outlets ever had any sense of journalistic integrity, they've long since lost it by "reporting" on all of this baseless nonsense.

Intelligence officers have identified 23,000 jihadist extremists living in Britain as potential terrorist attackers, it emerged yesterday.

The scale of the challenge facing the police and security services was disclosed by Whitehall sources after criticism that multiple opportunities to stop the Manchester bomber had been missed.

About 3,000 people from the total group are judged to pose a threat and are under investigation or active monitoring in 500 operations being run by police and intelligence services. The 20,000 others have featured in previous inquiries and are categorised as posing a "residual risk".

Comment: Common or garden jihadi (or any other type) terror plots are fairly easily identified and stopped by responsible security services. State-sponsored or facilitated jihadi terror plots, on the other hand, are by their nature, unstoppable.

Russian analyst: US sanctions policy for N. Korea is aimed at Russia

Washington is determined to render life unbearable in North Korea by expanding the sanctions already exerted on the country, Russian expert Vladimir Terekhov told Radio Sputnik, explaining why the recent US' crackdown on Pyongyang is simultaneously aimed against Russia.

Pyongyang has raised the alarm over Washington's attempts to put severe pressure on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) through tough economic sanctions and hinder economic cooperation between North Korea and Russia. However, according to Russian expert in Asia-Pacific affairs Vladimir Terekhov, the US' sanctions policy is actually aimed at Russia rather than at the DPRK.

On Wednesday, the North Korean Foreign Ministry signaled that it views Washington's decision to expand sanctions against the country as an effort to destroy the DPRK. "The United States and its followers are attempting to stop economic cooperation between North Korea and Russia," the statement said as quoted by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The ministry referred specifically to the Russo-North Korean ferry service, which was recently launched by the countries. "This is normal bilateral cooperation work aimed to expand bilateral economic relations and deepen the friendship through humanitarian exchanges and visits," the DPRK Foreign Ministry emphasized.

Comment: If Russia/China and the US are playing good cop-bad cop, no one plays bad cop better than the US. That said, it seems unrealistic, in the grander scheme of things, that a ferry service would be of such international importance as to be targeted and aimed at Russia. Gaining super-power leverage is not that petty. This is NK's attempt to align with Russia. Ruse rather than Rus.

Macron: 'Many international problems can't be resolved without Russia'

French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged the importance of dialogue with Russia in resolving certain international problems during the G7 summit in Italy. The statement comes ahead of his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Paris on Monday. "Many international problems cannot be resolved without Russia," Macron said, as cited by TASS. He stressed the necessity of talking to Moscow at a news conference after the two-day meeting of G7 leaders in Sicily, which wrapped up on Saturday.

The French leader noted that he will seek a "demanding dialogue" with Russia, but "that still means having dialogue."

Elaborating on the particular issues that demand Russian participation, he emphasized the situations in Syria and Ukraine - among the topics to be discussed during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Paris.


Comment: So 'they' want to punish Russia with more sanctions, hold it to the Minsk agreements that don't apply, yet have Russia's help to rectify the abominable situation 'they' caused in Syria with the terrorism 'they' have not-so covertly supported. On par for the West. It is obvious Macron hasn't an original thought to call his own.

From the Deep State soft-coup plotters: Kushner, Flynn and the back channel to Russia

The latest story about Jared Kushner and Michael Flynn - discussing their perfectly legal proposal after the election to set up a back channel to Russia - once again shows how elements of the US bureaucracy are acting illegally to obstruct the President's policy of improving relations with Russia.

Yesterday I wrote that having failed to find any evidence against any of the other people involved in the Russiagate inquiry, the investigators have turned on Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Today predictably there is the leak intended to cause him harm from our old friends, 'three anonymous current and former officials'.

This leak alleges that in early December at a meeting with Russian ambassador Kislyak in Trump Tower which General Michael Flynn also attended Kushner discussed with Kislyak the setting up of a back channel between General Flynn and the Russians.

Comment: Anonymous officials, twist description on legal activities, false path to conclusion, illegally obtained information...the US media has not broken rank or form, it writes fiction novellas.

A complaint against Bernie Sanders filed by a Hillary Clinton's super PAC was dismissed by a Federal Elections Committee, which ruled that the misdemeanor of accepting an "excessive" $7,462 of contributions during his bid for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination was insignificant.

The complaint by Brad Woodhouse, founder of the American Democracy Legal Fund and president of the pro-Clinton super political action committee (PAC) - Correct the Record - was filed on April 8 2016, but only became public on Friday.

The commission made their decision on April 20 2017, telling Woodhouse that they "voted to dismiss the allegation."

Comment: Killary can't even claim the victory of sticking it to Bernie Sanders.

President Trump & his team 'blab too much,' might be a security risk for West - German MP

The German government should reconsider sharing intelligence with the US, as President Trump and his team "blab too much" and could provide sensitive information to Moscow, according to a high-ranking German lawmaker, as cited by local media.

"I have an impression that Donald Trump and his team blab too much," Thomas Oppermann, the leader of the Social Democrats (SPD) in the German parliament said, according to various German newspapers.

The official, whose party is part of the ruling coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), said that their intelligence services might receive more harm than good from cooperation with the US.

"It should be taken into account that Trump is a president, who - one should assume - passes sensitive information to Russian representatives," Oppermann said. He did not, however, provide any concrete evidence to back the claim.

The lawmaker also stated that such handling of classified information is a "security risk for the West," warning that German intelligence should be aware of it.
