[Gateway Pundit] Everyday these people just lie and lie and lie to the American public.
On Monday Democrats called in their far left Attorney Daniel Goldman to testify on the Schiff-Pelosi impeachment sham. Goldman is a top Democat donor and contributor to the liberal mainstream fake news outlets.
[Gateway Pundit] The DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz finally released his report on FISA abuses on Monday.
The report revealed what we knew to be true all along ‐ the FBI defrauded the FISA court and purposely omitted exculpatory information from the FISA judges in order to obtain FOUR FISA warrants on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Horowitz, however concluded that the FBI investigation into Trump was not politically motivated ‐ and John Durham hit back.
US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham immediately released a statement following the release of the FISA report and disputed Horowitz’s findings and conclusions.
"I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened," John Durham said in a rare statement.
John Durham was tapped by Bill Barr earlier this year to conduct an investigation into the origins of Spygate.
Mr. Durham has already traveled to Italy and other countries as part of his sprawling investigation into how Obama’s corrupt FBI and intel agencies launched and carried out the largest spy operation of a presidential candidate in US history.

It is likely that Barr and Durham's travels to Italy enabled them to piece together a network of foreign anti-Trump enablers. Enablers recruited and provided instructions by members of US Law Enforcement or the Intelligence Community.
[Federalist] The long-anticipated report from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released Monday criticized department attorney Bruce Ohr at length for failing to report repeated contacts with former British spy Christopher Steele.
Steele, the author of the debunked Steele dossier that was used to justify a federal investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign, met with Ohr 12 times after Steele was terminated as a confidential human source by the bureau. As the report notes, Ohr failed to report the repeated interactions with Steele to his DOJ supervisors, depriving the department of the opportunity to request that Ohr halt communication with the fired informant. Instead, Ohr continued to feed Steele’s information to the department and FBI, circumventing Steele’s termination as a reliable source.
According to the report, Ohr acknowledged to the DOJ that it was because of the possibility he would be told to stop these meetings with Steele that he chose not to report them to his direct supervisors.
While Horowitz stopped short of recommending Ohr for a criminal referral, the DOJ inspector general spent more than 36 pages of the report singling out the bureaucrat for circumventing his supervisors and referred Ohr to the Office of Professional Responsibility. Horowitz also referred Ohr’s actions to his supervisors in the criminal justice division, leaving the door open to future criminal prosecution.
"We found that, while no Department or ODAG policy specifically prohibited Ohr’s activities, Ohr was clearly cognizant of his responsibility to inform his supervisors of his interactions with Steele, the FBI, and State Department," the report states. "We are referring our finding to the Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility for any action it deems appropriate. We are also providing our finding to Ohr’s current supervisors in CRM for any action they deem appropriate."
May we safely assume Ohr's annual Federal employee bonus is not in danger, and his security clearance periodic re-investigation (PR) is moving along without a hitch ?
[Wire] Department of Justice Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz’s report on alleged FBI misconduct in surveilling the Trump campaign found that the FBI "altered" evidence that falsely cast former Trump presidential campaign adviser Carter Page as a Russian spy.
The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis and Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway wrote that the report "found that the FBI falsely claimed to the FISA Court not only that Carter Page was a Russian agent, but also falsely claimed that an unnamed intelligence agency had told the FBI that Page was ’not a source’ in their efforts to surveil and curtail Russian intelligence efforts."
"Page, who had previously been an informant and witness for the United States in a federal espionage case against a Russian intelligence official, was targeted by the Obama FBI as a Russian spy helping Putin to steal the election from Hillary Clinton in 2016," The Federalist reported. "According to the IG report, before the FBI and DOJ went to the FISA Court to apply for a warrant to spy on Page, an unnamed U.S. intelligence agency had told the FBI that Carter Page had previously assisted that agency’s efforts against Russian spies. Although exculpatory information about potential spy targets is required in spy warrant applications, Obama’s FBI and DOJ deliberately withheld that information from the spy court in order to paint Page in the worst possible light."
"Ahead of an application to renew the spy warrant in 2017, a top FBI lawyer doctored evidence from the unnamed agency which confirmed that contrary to FBI claims that he was a Russian spy, Page had in fact assisted the United States in its efforts to counter Russian operations," The Federalist added. "An e-mail from the agency that clearly stated Page was ’a source’ for them was doctored by Kevin Clinesmith, a top FBI national security lawyer, to give the opposite impression to the federal spy court." Emphasis added at para #2.
#1
Sort of explains why the FBI immediately suspended interest in Mr. Page when he resigned from the Trump campaign.
"BOMBSHELL 2.0"....Carter Page (USN Academy Top grad, Naval Intelligence officer, former FBI stringer, and carefree man about the beltway) was fully aware and complicit in his clandestine, 'Animal Factory - jailhouse plant' role.
....but also falsely claimed that an unnamed intelligence agency had told the FBI that Page was ’not a source’ in their efforts to surveil and curtail Russian intelligence efforts."
'What, Page again? Can't they find their own people? Ok, go ahead, go ahead. Make sure they send us their reporting.'
[Al Jazeera] The United Kingdom's Brexit Party has expelled a local councillor and dismissed a part-time official after they were filmed by undercover reporters making racist comments.
The two activists were filmed by Channel 4 News during campaigning in Hartlepool where the populist anti-immigration party led by Nigel Farage is focusing its general election campaigning efforts with chairman Richard Tice standing in the constituency.
[Hot Air] “I think the President should apologize to us,” James Baker, the former FBI general counsel, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “I respectfully ask him, I would ask him to apologize to me, to my colleagues, because the things he said are just wrong. And I think he should step up and do that at a minimum.”
Baker continued: “The conclusions are quite clear that the President’s statements over these past several years were all wrong — that there was no hoax, there was no conspiracy to overthrow anybody, there was no sedition, there was no treason, there was no evidence of any of that.”
He added that Trump’s statements have had a negative effect on his family and former colleagues. Go ahead, hold your breath

"He added that Trump’s statements have had a negative effect on his family and former colleagues."

Hubris. That's his middle name. Traitor is his first name, not James. Do scum like this thing think they have 'won'? There are a whole bunch of unoccupied lampposts. Saying things like this push them much further from the general populace. Oh, that's right, they want a new populace, a new voting public. A more complaisant/compliant one.

I, for one, waiting for Trump's twit on the subject.
[CBSNews] House Democrats announced two articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The announcement came after weeks of testimony from high-profile witnesses in the impeachment inquiry, on top of months of speculation over the decision to impeach a sitting president. Only two other presidents have been tried for impeachment in American history, and neither have resulted in a conviction and removal.
"Today, in service to our duty to the constitution and to ourselves country, the House Committee on the Judiciaries is introducing two articles of impeachment, charging the President of the United States Donald J. Trump with committing high crimes and misdemeanors," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Tuesday at a press conference announcing the articles. Son of a bitch. ABUSE OF POWER
"The first article is abuse of power. It is an impeachable offense for the president to exercise the powers of his public office to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring or injuring the national interest," Nadler said. "That is exactly what President Trump did when he solicited and pressured Ukraine to interfere in 2020 presidential election."
"The president's misconduct is as simple and as terrible as this: President Trump solicited a foreign nation, Ukraine, to publicly announce investigations into his opponent, and a baseless conspiracy theory promoted by Russia to help his reelection campaign," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said.
Obstruction of Congress
"When he was caught, when the House investigated and opened an impeachment inquiry, President Trump engaged in unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry. This gives rise to the second article of impeachment for obstruction of Congress," Nadler said.
Schiff then took the torch, reiterating that the second article arose after the impeachment inquiry had already begun.
"When the president got caught he committed his second impeachable act: obstruction of Congress of the very ability to ensure that no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States.
The wording, the politics and the way it's set about is despicable to say the least. Reads like a statement by Pakistani General carrying out a coup or something. Blatant, overt and thuggish. Any other country, and no one would blame the President if he simply had these fucks eliminated on Capitol Hill, on thrown in cells for life.
And I'm worried that they would not have come this far, if there was not some inclination in some RINOs on the Senate to acquiesce like pansies, or just renege. Could that be a possibility ?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives were expected to unveil two articles of impeachment against Republican President Donald Trump on Tuesday, a senior Democratic aide said, setting the stage for a possible vote this week on impeachment.
The House aide spoke on condition of anonymity on Monday night and declined to give any details.
Democrats were expected to draft articles of impeachment on abuse of power and on obstruction of Congress, the aide told Reuters. The Washington Post first reported the expected articles, citing three unidentified officials.
Both of which can be argued without material facts, that's the point

"Quid Pro Quid" nowhere to be found, even after they spent the first couple of weeks pretending to argue that. I'm amazed that they really believe they're going to get away with this.

Obstruction of Congress, you say? Point of Information: the USA is a Bicameral Constitutional Republic and not a Parliamentary Democracy where the Speaker of the House Queen Pelosi rules.
#6
admission that Obstruction of Congress is NOT Obstruction of Justice, just as Schiff's and Nadless' hearings had very little to do with actual Justice

OK. They did it. But too late. I can't read it. I'm burned out, people. I can't listen to Schiff, Nadler or Pelosi anymore because I just can't take any more bullshit. All they ever do is lie and it stinks too bad. They're gonna do what they're gonna do anyway and I'm gonna contribute more money to the Trump 2020 campaign.

One of the most egregious lies is their assertion that Trump endangered our national security by withholding aid to Ukraine. No way in hell is our national security endangered by an uprising of ethnic Russians in Ukraine's Donbass province. Nobody believes that but they keep repeating it with straight faces. That's how you know the whole thing is a lie and I just can't take it anymore. I can't watch it on TV, I can't read about on the Internet, I just want it to stop. Stop the lies, stop this whole thing and let's have our election.

[USATODAY] President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... again slammed Fox News for giving airtime to Rep. Eric Swalwell and his other Democratic critics, tweeting Sunday that it was "pathetic" how "Fox panders."
"Don’t get why @FoxNews puts losers on like @RepSwalwell (who got ZERO as presidential candidate before quitting), Pramila Jayapal, David Cicilline and others who are Radical Left Haters?" Trump tweeted listing three Democratic House members who have frequently spoken out against the president and his policies.
"The Dems wouldn’t let @FoxNews get near their bad ratings debates, yet Fox panders. Pathetic!" he wrote, referring to the Democratic National Committee's decision not to let Fox News host the party's primary debates.
Rep. David Cicilline, D-Ri.I., fired back on Twitter, telling Trump, "while you’re busy tweeting insults, we’re busy working to honor our oath of office to protect and defend the constitution and safeguard our democracy," along with a photo of himself with Swalwell, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo.
"Thanks for watching, Mr. President. Why won’t you testify about your attempt to get Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election?" he added.
[POWERLINEBLOG] Congressman Al Green has become one of the Democratic Party’s top spokesmen. Which is a good thing, because Green is generally unfiltered, and therefore gives us a glimpse into his party’s id. This, for example, is revealing:
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said on Saturday during an interview on MSNBC that President Donald Trump needed to be impeached “to deal with slavery.”
Green, who has previously stated that Trump must be impeached or else “he will get reelected,” said this week that there is “no limit” to the number of times that Democrats can try to impeach the president.
But wait! Let’s go back to that first part: how in the world does impeaching President Trump “deal with slavery”? Rep. Green explains:
I do believe, ma’am, that we have to deal with the original sin. We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion.
This is idiotic, almost beyond belief.
It’s insidious … racism, the president has played on racism and he’s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people.
Democrats keep saying this, but that doesn’t make it true. In fact, Trump has done no such thing. On the contrary, he relates well to black Americans and, more important, his policies have made him one of the best presidents ever for African-Americans. Which is why I think he will get a startling number of black votes next November, sufficient to guarantee his re-election. Actually, Green may agree with this; perhaps this is why he famously said that Trump must be impeached, lest he be re-elected.
Green continued with the usual tiresome litany:
We cannot overlook what happened when he came down the escalator and just demeaned people of color when he talked about the s-hole countries.

Actually, not just Al Green but The New York Times, in its idiotic "1619 Project," is now saying truly extraordinary things about America and slavery -- for instance, that the American Revolution was motivated by the fear that the Mother Country was going to abolish slavery in the colonies.
Got that? Our newspaper of record is promoting the batsh!t crazy, cockamamie conceit that the Revolution was about preserving slavery.

If slavery and raycism in America's history is to be avenged, disband and boycott the Democrats. Force them into hiding, never to return to politics. Deny them jobs and donations, even.

Well, hard to blame him. After all, he's used to the fact that any mention of slavery - in any context - gets huge outpourings of white guilt and immediate surrender to "African-American" demands - no matter how unreasonable.

[FOXNEWS] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020... claimed in a new interview that when his son Hunter was a board member of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings while he was in office, no one informed him that it could pose a problem.
Biden insisted again that Hunter did nothing wrong, but this time appeared to fault his staff for not cluing him in that there could be concerns about his son's involvement with the foreign company that had been under investigation while Biden was in office and dealing with Ukraine policy.
"Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest. Nobody warned me about that," Biden told NPR in a story posted Monday.
State Department official George Kent addressed this during his testimony as part of the impeachment inquiry of President Trump, acknowledging that he told staff members there was concern over the appearance of a conflict of interest, but that no one told the vice president because his older son Beau was suffering from what was ultimately a fatal battle with brain cancer.
"They should have told me," Biden says now. Hunter's dealings and the elder Biden's role ousting a prosecutor looking into Burisma are being used by Trump and his supporters against the now-2020 presidential candidate, even as Trump's effort to press for an investigation into that conduct has spurred the impeachment inquiry.
"The appearance looked bad and it gave folks like Rudy Giuliani an excuse to come up with a Trumpian kind of defense, while they were violating the Constitution," Biden said.

The. Hinese fund has iirc $1.5b in assets under management. A standard "2 and 20" management fee arrangement would gross a minimum of $30m per year, probably about twice that sum, for the principals.
Son Hoover's cut would therefore probably amount to at least $5 million a year. For doing absolutely nothing.

I'd bet a small sum at this point that the donors and party pros will draft Hillary at the Convention next summer.
It could happen. I was thinking Liz Warren, but she seems to be fading into well-deserved irrelevance. Our pal European Conservative says Biden. Maybe we should have a pool. Winner gets bragging rights and losers pay Fred. $5 US?
Biden can't survive Lil' Crackpipe's continuing saga--- we likely haven't even heard the half of it.
Also, even if by some miracle of come-of-silence treatment by the media Biden scrapes by in SC, he won't win CA and may not even win IA. Butt-jig and Bernie-Squeaky Fromme are likely to carry those states.
[BIZPACREVIEW] Rep. Louie Gohmert could not remain silent in the face of the Democrats’ impeachment circus, venting during hearings about the way the proceedings were being handled.
The Texas Republican spoke up during Monday’s hearing and accused Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler of ignoring the rules when he allowed “witnesses to ask the questions.”
The heated exchange came after Democratic counsel Barry Berke, who had just served as a witness for Democrats earlier, began questioning the Republican counsel for the Intelligence Committee, Steve Castor.
“I’ve been a judge and I know that you don’t get to be a witness and a judge in the same case,” Gohmert said after multiple Republican lawmakers attempted to stop the proceedings and have Nadler recognize the issue. The Democrat shot them down each time, wielding his gavel and repeatedly saying their “point of order” was not recognized as he ignored GOP objections.
Gohmert had enough after Berke’s line of questioning led him to ask Castor about President Trump’s state of mind toward former Vice President Joe Biden.
“Did you look at how many times president mentioned Vice President Biden in a speech, rally leading up to the July 25th call?” he asked.
“Mr. Chairman, pardon me,” Gohmert interjected.
“The gentleman is not recognized,” Nadler replied. “Mr. Berke has the time.”
“We’re going to ignore the rules, allow witnesses to ask the question, then how many other rules are you going to just disregard?” Gohmert asked.
“Gentleman will suspend. Parliamentary inquiries are not in order,” the chairman announced.
“This is not appropriate to have a witness be a questioner of somebody that was a witness when he was,” the Texas lawmaker continued, as Nadler banged his gavel. “It’s just wrong.”
“There is no rule or precedent for anybody being a witness and then getting to come up and question,” Gohmert added.
“The point of order is he’s not appropriate to be up here asking questions,” he said as Nadler declared, “It’s not a point of order.”
The New York Democrat had cited House Resolution 660 and said “the gentleman has been appointed by me to ask questions.”
[DAILYWIRE] United States Attorney John Durham responded to Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz’s report on Monday by stating that it was incorrect due to the limited information that it was based on whereas Durham’s criminal investigation is not limited in scope and appears to have uncovered a lot more than Horowitz did.

“However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department,” Durham continued. “Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”
