Strzok-Page texts reveal personal relationship between FBI official and judge recused from Flynn case
[FOX] The federal judge who presided over former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s case last year before mysteriously being recused had a personal relationship with anti-Trump FBI official Peter Strzok, according to text mesages obtained and reviewed by Fox News.

The revelations about U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras are found in a new batch of text messages between Strzok and his FBI paramour, Lisa Page.

Contreras was appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in 2016, a topic of conversation between Strzok and Page.

"Rudy is on the FISC! Did you know that?" Page texted Strzok on July 25, 2016. "Just appointed two months ago."

"I did," Strzok replied. "We talked about it before and after. I need to get together with him."

Sessions fires ex-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe days before retirement
[NYPost] Attorney General Jeff Sessions says he's fired former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, effective immediately.

#1  “concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions.”

Lacked candor under oath? I believe normal people call that 'lying".

#6  Ok, so the facts are becoming more clear on Peter Strzok, Page, and McCabe. When will DoJ roll in Comey, Lynch, and Soetoro? Will the upcoming IG report provide the evidence? Where is the Special Counsel, or do we have a separate requirement for indictment and prosecution within the beltway? (rhetorical question) It has always been an 'Animal Farm'. What was I thinking ?

Posted by: Besoeker || 03/17/2018 2:03 Comments || Top||

#7  It's beyond obvious that the deep state has blackmail material on Sessions. Nothing else explains his lack of prosecution of clearly guilty people. We need a new AG.

#16  QANON says that there are reasons for the slow roll and to trust the plan. Stay tuned.

Dunno about QANON but I have expressed my hope on previous occasions which is: Everybody thinks Sessions is asleep at the wheel for a long, long time and so they all get lulled to sleep. Then one fine Monday morning they are all surprised and shocked by a flurry of indictments. He just had to make sure he dotted every i and crossed every t so that each and every one of the indictments resulted in a conviction.

Well, I can dream. Can't I?

6 more wimmin will finger Trump for sexual harassment
Trump's just living the dream.
Whoever is sponsoring these women is playing ugly politics, or at least trying to.
[DailyMail] The lawyer representing pornographic actress Stormy Daniels said Friday that six other women have approached him with similar accounts about past sexual flings with President Donald Trump – and confirmed his client's safety was threatened in order to keep her quiet.

During an interview on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' program, Michael Avenatti answered 'Yes' to the question of whether Daniels – whose real name is Stephanie Clifford – was 'threatened with physical harm.'

An hour later on CNN, he doubled down.

'I'm not alleging anything. I'm stating a fact. And the fact is that my client was physically threatened to stay silent about what she knew about Donald Trump. The details surrounding that, she's going to discuss, I'm sure, on the "60 Minutes" interview on March 25,' Avenatti said.

'She's going to be able to provide very specific details about what happened here,' he claimed, but wouldn't say what her evidence might be.

Avenatti wouldn't tell the 'Morning Joe' hosts whether Daniels' life was threatened, but the revelation will raise the stakes of what has become a White House sideshow and elevate it into a serious legal matter.

#11  Hoiman Gain. Ace of Spades main man back in the day!

Trump is a germ-o-phobe. Normally, the MSM would go all Howard Hughes with that, but it doesn't fit their preferred narrative now, so...

Trump was a lawsuit target decades before running for president. I'm sure he and his advisors could write a book on "things you don't do, or even appear to have done."

The backgrounds of all the accusers will be, what's the phrase? "A blank slate." Except they won't be. Of course the MSM will paint anyone publicizing anything "untoward" as being Alex Jones' red headed step child.

Need I say more?
