[Politico] Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper predicted Sunday that there are "other shoes to drop" in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian election meddling, including potential ties to the Kremlin by those seeking to sway the election.
Clapper said Friday's indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three foreign entities, which includes charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and aggravated identity theft, served to validate findings by the intelligence community on Russian election interference.
But the former intelligence chief, who served under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, predicted that Mueller's team had yet to fully reveal its findings.
"I do think there are other shoes to drop here besides this indictment," Clapper told Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union."
Pressed on what additional findings Mueller's team of federal prosecutors might unearth, Clapper suggested that Americans have yet to see the full extent of the involvement of the Russian government in efforts to undermine the U.S. electoral process.
[Hot Air] How bad have things gotten in Chicago? This bad.
As you may have already heard, Chicago Police Commander Paul Bauer was murdered in the line of duty by a felon who he was pursuing. Shomari Legghette shot Bauer six times with a handgun, killing him. After being arrested and taken to jail, Legghette was escorted past a holding pen where a number of inmates began cheering for him like he was some sort of conquering hero. (CBS Chicago) Don't bother with the CBS link, it's already dead.

Pissing off your jailers can have unpleasant consequences however... a number of the "clappers" now have new bunkmates way downstate in reassigned facilities...making it "inconvenient" for visits from your gangbanger handler to slip you contraband or your public defender to keep you appraised of their plans on getting you out of the hoosgow.
[American Thinker] Shortly after Rod Rosenstein announced the latest series of indictments against Russians largely for posts on social media, the stock market rose and hit its highest weekly gain since 2013. And for good reason ‐ the indictments are idiotic. They would never have been issued by a prosecutor, only a special counsel looking as if he's doing something as his case against his big catch ‐ General Michael Flynn ‐ seems to become less and less certain to lead to conviction.
[Washington Examiner] A spokesman for the White House accused Democrats and the media for creating more "chaos" than the Russians.
White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley made the comment on Fox News on Saturday, one day after special counsel Robert Mueller revealed the indictments of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities as part of his team's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"There are two groups that have created chaos more than the Russians," Hogan said. "And that’s the Democrats and the mainstream media who continued to push this lie on the American people for more than a year, and quite frankly, Americans should be outraged by that."
His comments were in reference to the ongoing efforts of the Mueller inquiry to examine whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Over the past year, the media has closely reported every development in the Mueller investigation, and several Democrats have publicly theorized that President Trump is hiding criminal behavior.

The soviets designed cultural marxism to destroy their enemies.
Today, we have a outright seditious political party determined to use soviet tactics on their own people.
This whole party is the scum of the earth and has been infected with an in-cureable disease designed by the left - which is the soviet communist of old.
Who needs the Russians as an enemy when you have an enemy running your own government that calls themselves democratic when they are despotic, tyrannical, and present nothing but this for the future ?

Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your honor. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse

Opens to Video narrated by British correspondent for CNN Moscow bureau.
[CNN] As both a prosecutor and defense attorney, I have written and reviewed many indictments. Though often brimming with legalese, they are designed by prosecutors to tell a compelling and detailed crime story. The indictment announced Friday in the Mueller investigation told just such a story -- of Russian attempts to sabotage the American presidential election.
If the allegations of the indictment prove true, it seems probable that the Russians were successful in their multimillion-dollar effort to influence the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States. Of course the answer to this complex question will never be definitively known. Polling cannot tell us whether voters might have chosen differently if the Russian influence operation hadn't happened.
What is known, however, is that the election was close and voter shifts in just a few significant states could have changed the Electoral College vote count in a presidential election in which Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.

Facebook VP: "The Majority Of Russian Ad Spend Happened AFTER The Election"
https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/10/hard-questions-russian-ads-delivered-to-congress/
"many of these ads did not violate our content policies. That means that for most of them, if they had been run by authentic individuals, anywhere, they could have remained on the platform."
Shouldn’t you stop foreigners from meddling in US social issues?
The right to speak out on global issues that cross borders is an important principle. Organizations such as UNICEF, Oxfam or religious organizations depend on the ability to communicate — and advertise — their views in a wide range of countries. While we may not always agree with the positions of those who would speak on issues here, we believe in their right to do so — just as we believe in the right of Americans to express opinions on issues in other countries.
- the ads were non-political in nature, and didn't feature or favour a political candidate
- 56% of the ads were run AFTER the 2016 US federal election
- 25% of the ads were never displayed to anyone due to Facebook's algorithms not finding them relevant to trending interests
- only 25% of the ads were geographically-targeted
- Facebook is not sure that the ads were part of an organized campaign
- Facebook is not sure that the accounts the ads were purchased with are associated with each other
- Facebook is not certain that the ads were purchased by Russians
- many of the ads were not purchased using Russia's currency
- huge numbers of actual political ads are bought and run on Facebook from all countries around the world, and that is normal and OK
- the "overwhelming majority" of ad-space purchases from Russia by Russians are normal and not suspicious in any way
So, after a year of investigations and debunked conspiracy / false claim after debunked conspiracy / false claim, the strongest argument for alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US federal election is $100K of non-political or partisan Facebook ads - more than half of which ran after the election, and a quarter of which were never ran at all. That's telling.

How about a compelling story about Russian "contractors" attempting to kill or capture some US Special Forces in Syria, and getting their arses handed to them ?
#5
So Trump colluded with Russians to kill Russian contractors? Yeah, I know, this sounds absolutely nuts but then this is CNN. The MSM still hangs on to its meme despite all.
There might be a spot for Mueller with some book company after the Special Counsel writing fiction or spy novels. Maybe a spot on CNN? That is, if he isn't beleaguered by his own legal problems.

Balls. The Russians were rooting for Trump in the primary, same as the MSM was on instructions from the DNC to support Carson and Trump in the primary, because they were most likely to lose in the general.
The Russians also supported Sanders in the primary, because they wanted the socialist to win. And he might have, except for the duplicity of Hillary and the DNC.
Once Trump and Hillary won the primary, the Russians thought (like most everyone) that Hillary would win the general, so they switched to fomenting chaos, as usual.

I think Tyrannosaurus Don outmaneuvered "the resistance" on Mueller: they chose Mueller for his doglike devotion to the goals of the ruling "elites", and Trump chose him for being a dumb pooch.
[Sports Illustrated] LeBron James and Kevin Durant have both responded to comments made by Fox News' Laura Ingraham that were critical of the two for what they said about Donald Trump in a video with ESPN's Cari Champion for the UNINTERRUPTED.
After James said Trump "really don't give a f--- about the people," Ingraham said James and Durant should "shut up and dribble" instead of discussing politics.
When asked about the comments Saturday during All-Star media availability, James said he laughed at first when he initially heard of the comments and that Ingraham's reaction proves what he has been saying about societal issues is correct. He added that he means "too much to society" and the youth to not use his platform in ways like this.
In an interview with Sam Amick of USA Today Sports, Durant called Ingraham's comments "racist" and "ignorant."
"It didn’t hit me," Durant told Amick about his initial reaction to Ingraham's comments. "Ignorance is something I try to ignore. That was definitely an ignorant comment. I do play basketball, but I am a civilian and I am a citizen of the United States, so my voice is just as loud as hers, I think ‐ or even louder."
Durant also told Amick that he's aware that if people like him and James speak up about their opinions on certain issues, Trump's election has "made it cool for people to kind of speak their truth and kind of show what they're really about" and "of course they're going to say ignorant things like that."
James had previously posted a picture on Instagram with the caption "#wewillnotshutupanddribble."

Says the drug using high school drop out who opted for money over education and flails like a euro meterball pansy every foul. At least Durant can articulate himself.

[DAWN] THE juncture that Pakistain stands at today ‐ of potentially being ’grey listed’ by the Financial Action Task Force for failure to take action against groups and individuals designated by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... as bully boyz ‐ is not new. For three years, Pakistain was on this grey list from 2012 to 2015 for failing to enact an anti-money-laundering law. Once that was done, under the guidance of the then finance minister Ishaq Dar, the country was taken out of the grey list, and the financial sector breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a new set of commitments had to be delivered on: proscribe those groups designated as bully boyz by the UN, and seize their assets, restrict the movement of their leadership and halt their fundraising. From 2015, the country struggled with this, because the groups in question, ie the Falah-e-Insaniyat ...the current false nose and mustache of Jamaat ud-Dawa, which was the false nose and mustache of Lashkar e-Taiba... and the Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... , appeared to enjoy support from powerful quarters and were set to be ’mainstreamed’ in Pak politics in preparation for the 2018 general election.
Now on the eve of the FATF meeting in Gay Paree, we are seeing action being taken against these very groups. Previously, the country witnessed only cosmetic action being taken against groups designated as bully boyz by the UN just before a review by the FATF. On completion of the review, action would not be pursued. This is why many are asking whether or not history is set to repeat itself. But could there be reason to believe that things may be different now? One positive aspect is that in the days following the promulgation of the presidential ordinance harmonising the list of proscribed organizations maintained by Pakistain and the UN, a crackdown more wide-ranging than previously has been in evidence. One must hope that somewhere deep inside the state’s decision-making structures, something has changed.
In any case, it is in Pakistain’s own interest to ensure that crackdowns and bans on specific organizations have the desired effect and that these groups are defanged permanently and do not have any opportunity to resurrect themselves under a different name. The actions being taken now, which include the seizing of the financial assets of the groups, hopefully indicate a change of heart at the top levels of government; but the state should ensure that these extend to all bad boy groups in the country ‐ and not only to those proscribed internationally. The organizations in question have struck deep roots in Pak society with their charity work, and making a meaningful change in their modus operandi will require a sustained, detailed strategy. The current steps against these groups may well satisfy the international obligations that the government is seeking to fulfil. But the real commitment is to the people of Pakistain who want to be able to live and breathe in a country free from extremism.

[AlAhram] On 20 January, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... launched military operations in Afrin, in Syria’s northwest, dubbed Operation Olive Branch. Ottoman Turkish forces entered the Kurdish militia-controlled Afrin enclave despite repeated calls by Washington for Ankara not to intervene. Turkey subsequently threatened to expand its operation to the Syrian town of Manbij, northeast of Aleppo, where US forces are deployed with the YPG (People’s Protection Units).
Erdogan ramped up his verbal assault 6 February, declaring he would be forced to "bury" them and warned that although "they tell us ’don’t come to Manbij,’" Turkey "will come to Manbij".

Ankara’s plan to create a buffer zone annex landa to the Neo-Ottoman Empire by forcing a security cordon on annexing Afrin...

[Mil.com] The Pentagon's new "deploy-or-out" policy could result in the separation from military service of possibly 286,000 personnel who are currently deemed medically unfit for overseas duty.
"This new policy is a 12-month deploy or be removed policy," Robert Wilkie, the undersecretary of defense for Personnel and Readiness, told the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel Wednesday.
Wilkie said there would be exceptions for pregnancies and the services would also be able to retain wounded troops who are cleared by medical boards.
"On any given day, about 13 to 14 percent of the force is medically unable to deploy -- that comes out to be around 286,000 service members," Wilkie said.
The new policy grew out of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis' directive last summer to the services to take steps to improve the "lethality" of the force in overseas operations. Mattis' guidance said the services' actions should be "designed to ensure our military is ready to fight today and in the future."
The solution the services came up with required service members to be deployable within 12 months or be forced out of the military.
In justifying the major policy initiative, Wilkie said that "The situation we face today is really unlike anything we have faced -- certainly in the post-World War II era. We have to ensure, given the climate this country faces, that everyone who signs up can be deployed anywhere in the world."
In a department-wide memo released Thursday on "Retention Policy for Non-Deployable Service Members," Wilkie said he would also be seeking to establish "standardized criteria for retaining non-deployable service members."

...This has been a semi-secret for some years now, in that the world at large hasn't been aware of the problem, but the poor SOBs who have to keep going back sure as hell have known about it. I suspect too that there is going to be a thorough combing of emergency deployment plans so that there is NO question that if you are a single parent, there better be someone to take care of your child.

Female privilege? Someone has got to take their place in the deployment. WAC era they were discharged. Then the brass said make it work. Then there was a classified Army IG report after Desert Storm on the number of females removed from theater when they turned up pregnant. Then the blow up when a theater commander said something along the lines of court martial (given that for all of military history, males who had inflicted wounds or injuries to avoid combat or danger where roughly treated). They insist on 'abortion on demand', so it's choice to make oneself non-deployable.

No, the solution is to stop fucking deploying so often. WTF? We're not world police. We don't need to be everywhere. Bring the troops home. Close the bases. Spend the money on ourselves instead.

Too many 'foreign adventures', yes, the downfall of empires is fiscal blood loss brought on by not knowing when to quit expanding.
On the other hand, histories of WW-1 talk about cavalry Majors unfit to ride horses (!) so they had to go to war in carriages. Also how much bureaucracy do we really need (Spoiler: less than the REMFs desire.)
[The Atlantic] The clear goal of the special counsel is to speak to the American public about the seriousness of Russian interference.
With yet another blockbuster indictment (why is it always on a Friday afternoon?), Special Counsel Robert Mueller has, once again, upended Washington. And this time, it is possible that his efforts may have a wider effect outside the Beltway.
For those following the matter, there has been little doubt that Russian citizens attempted to interfere with the American presidential election. The American intelligence agencies publicized that conclusion more than a year ago in a report issued in January 2017, and it has stood by the analysis whenever it has been questioned. But some in the country have doubted the assertion‐asking for evidence of interference that was not forthcoming.
Now the evidence has been laid out in painful detail by the special counsel. If any significant fraction of what is alleged in the latest indictment is true (and we should, of course, remind ourselves that an indictment is just an allegation‐not proof), then this tale is a stunning condemnation of Russian activity. A Russian organization with hundreds of employees and a budget of millions of dollars is said to have systematically engaged in an effort (code named "Project Lakhta") to undermine the integrity of the election and, perhaps more importantly, to have attempted to influence the election to benefit then-candidate Donald Trump. Among the allegations, the Russians:
- Conducted political intelligence-gathering activities in the United States;
- Hid their activities by setting up virtual networks in America that masked their extra-American communications;
- Influenced the American election by using false personas to organize rallies for Trump, criticizing Muslims and spreading allegations of voter fraud by candidate Clinton;
- Stole American identities to create controlled accounts; and
- Destroyed evidence of their activities.
These proofs, is the author referring to the Russians, or the Clinton campaign? I am totally confused.
The details of these activities are painfully explicit; the indictment cites dates, times, places, messages, posts, and specific rallies. In short, if the facts prove out, there can be absolutely no doubt‐none whatsoever‐that Russian actors engaged in a multi-year, multi-million-dollar campaign of influence.
From this, it seems that two things are clear. First, while the "official" purpose of this indictment is to criminally prosecute violations of American law, the indictment also has a second purpose‐to inform the American public and their representatives. Let’s be blunt‐none of the Russians who were indicted will ever,ever, see the inside of an American courtroom. Russia won’t extradite them and we won’t, realistically, expect them to do so. The individuals may not have as much freedom to travel (say, to the French Riviera) for fear of arrest, but otherwise the effect on them will be negligible.
Given that reality, this indictment (which prosecutors sometimes call a "speaking indictment") is so detailed precisely because the evidence will never be presented in a court. It is designed to give as full an accounting of the known facts as the prosecutors reasonably can. Beyond prosecution, the clear goal here is to speak to the American public‐and if this message isn’t sufficient, then no message can possibly sway the body politic.
Second, all that having been said, the indictment is equally notable for what it does not say as it is for what it does say. One will scour the indictment in vain for any allegation that the Russian activity was directed by Russian government officials. To be sure, it is highly dubious that such a campaign would be run by a Russian enterprise without the knowledge and tacit (if not explicit) acquiescence of the Russian government. And some of the indicted defendants are said to be close to Putin. In a closed, authoritarian society like Russia, the idea of a rogue operation is simply not credible. The one gap that can, and likely will, be filled in the future is the official Russian side of the ledger‐what did Putin and the FSB know and do?
The indictment is also conspicuous for failing to allege any act of collusion between the Russian actors and any Americans at all. There are no identified American co-conspirators and there certainly is no allegation that the Russians acted with the knowledge of (much less the approval of) any individuals in the Trump campaign. As far as the indictment is concerned, the Russian activity was initiated by the Russians for their own strategic benefit, and candidate Trump may only have been an incidental beneficiary of their activity.
Again, that seems an unlikely proposition. But in fairness to President Trump, we need to acknowledge that, thus far, the Mueller team has alleged no active collusion. For the Trump team, that will be the takeaway from today’s indictment.
For the rest of America, the takeaway should be much grimmer: The threat to the integrity of our elections is real. The main question that Mueller asks is not whether the Russians are guilty, but what America is going to do about it? If, faced with this reality, we continue to do nothing, then the blame for the next failure will be on us. Thank you Paul, I was in such a quandary over what I should think.
Ben Franklin, when asked what sort of government the Founders created, is reported to have said "a Republic, if you can keep it." Americans must now to decide if we want to keep ours.

If there were no other reason to 'give pause' regarding the author's conclusion, this Cong. Mike Rogers' endorsement (found in the 'About the author' link) would be entirely sufficient.

"Paul was a tremendous resource for the House Intelligence Committee as we crafted our Cyber legislation, and his expertise shows through in this excellent book. His book clearly describes the tangled web of technical, legal, and policy issues that complicate our nation's response to the daunting, advanced cyber threats we face today. It will serve as a vital resource for anyone trying to understand this critical issue."

So they trolled a few websites and organized a rally or two while pretending not to be Russians. Big fucking deal. It's not like they bombed our capitol and provided arms to a rebel uprising. It's not like they did anything that our own government hasn't done in other countries. And where were the countermeasures, Baraq? Huh? Why doesn't Mueller file an indictment against somebody who won't laugh at him from a foreign country where there is zero chance they will ever be extradited? Upended Washington, did he? We're paying him for this?
If this is the best he can do he needs to pack it up and go home.

3. They had to justify the millions spent and more than a year's effort.

[Free Beacon] Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas participated in a rare onstage interview at the Library of Congress on Thursday, where he talked about being "worn down" from the victimhood culture in today's society.
The moderator said that Thomas, the second African-American Supreme Court Justice, grew up without water or electricity and that his house burned down when he was seven years old, forcing him and his younger brother to go live with their maternal grandparents in Savannah, Ga.
"At some point, we’re going to be fatigued with everybody being the victim," Thomas said before talking about his grandfather.
Thomas called his grandfather the "single greatest human being" and role model that he has ever met.
"With nine months of education, but he never saw himself as a victim. He used to say that he was a motherless child. He never knew his father. His mother died when he was seven or eight years old," Thomas said. "Of course they didn't have birth certificates then, so he never knew quite how old he was."
He went on to talk about how his grandfather never complained about his hardships growing up and that he would always have a saying for his grandkids when they tried to complain.

That's what they do to someone or something proposed that might be contrary to their worldviews, JQC. I usually look for how intense the level of vitriol from these folks is, and then calculate an inverse desire for that plan or person being opposed to succeed.
Case in point, when one of our local wingnut socialists puts a sign in his/her yard (could be one, could be hundreds - they're all in sync philosophically and will display the same signage), I'll support the opposite with time and $$.
