Katie Pavlich Ties ABC's Epstein Cover-Up To Clintons, Stephanopoulos
[Daily Caller] Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich drew a straight line from ABC’s alleged quashing of a bombshell Jeffrey Epstein story to the network’s news anchor with ties to the Clintons.

Pavlich, who appeared Wednesday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," suggested that ABC’s reluctance to cover a story that tied former President Bill Clinton and others to the late convicted pedophile could be summed up in just one name: veteran ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos.

"There’s no question, executives at ABC protected Jeffrey Epstein," host Tucker Carlson began. "Why do you think they did that?"

"Because their star anchor’s name is George Stephanopoulos and of course George Stephanopoulos worked as Bill Clinton’s communications director at the White House," Pavlich explained. "And when was this information given to Robach at ABC? When did she bring all this to her executives to say we should put this to air? Right before the 2016 election when Hillary Clinton was running on the Democratic ticket."

Pavlich went on to add that Stephanopoulos had his own direct connection to Epstein as well, noting that the ABC journalist had attended a dinner party at Epstein’s home after Epstein served 13 months for soliciting underage girls.

"You’re saying at the time Amy Robach took this story to her superiors and they said, ’I don’t know who Jeffrey Epstein is,’ his name was already all over the news as a convicted sex offender," Carlson clarified.

"This all comes down to the Clintons, George Stephanopoulos working at ABC and the circle of connections they have there, and protecting not just the Clintons of course, because that is something they are willing to do for political purposes," Pavlich continued. "According to ABC’s editorial standards, which we keep hearing about, the standards are necessarily about accusers bringing forward evidence on someone who had already been convicted of similar crimes, but instead to protect political people and friends who are beneficial to them and who have very, very close connections to people in their network who claim to be leading journalists, like George Stephanopoulos."

"But it’s not just ABC," Carlson added. "The reaction has been fascinating in that MSNBC and CNN, both of which have media reporters, have essentially ignored the story."

"Yeah, they are still not touching it," Pavlich agreed.

#1  Epstein's Number-2, Ghislaine Maxwell (yes, the woman we no longer hear about) needs a bit of looking into. Some interesting nonprofit closures found below:

Wiki: In 2012, Maxwell founded The TerraMar Project,[63] a nonprofit organization that advocated the protection of oceans. She gave a lecture for TerraMar at the University of Texas at Dallas and a TED talk, at TEDx Charlottesville in 2014.[64] Maxwell accompanied Stuart Beck, a 2013 TerraMar board member, to two United Nations meetings to discuss the project.[18]

The TerraMar Project announced closure on 12 July 2019, less than a week after charges of sex trafficking brought by New York federal prosecutors against Epstein became public.[65][2] An associated, UK-based company, Terramar (UK), continues to exist, with Maxwell listed as a director.[66] An application for the UK organisation to be officially closed was made on 4 September 2019, with the first notice in The London Gazette made on 17 September 2019.[67] The second notice will follow in November 2019.[67]

#3  Well, they did decide to initiate some 'Telegram software' encryption measures but apparently chucked it all following Jeffrey's passing. I can't imagine who might have been funding this Salisbury effort:

TerraMar (UK)
TerraMar (UK) is a separate private limited company in the United Kingdom, run by Maxwell with a similar mission to the TerraMar Project.[4] It was incorporated in August 2013 in England and Wales and remains active, with a Salisbury address, as of the last company filing on July 10, 2019.[4] The objects of the charity TerraMar (UK) are listed as "the conservation, protection, and improvement of the environment" and in particular "the oceans, seas, coastlines and tidal areas" including "the conservation and protection of endangered marine flora and fauna, and the education of the public in the fields of marine conservation, marine ecology and related areas".[4] TerraMar (UK) was reported by The Times to have joined the "secretive Telegram messenger app service" on the date that Epstein died in prison.[13]

#5  Well of f---ing COURSE.

Epstein was not a "hedge fund manager." His trade was blackmail. He was taking in millions by blackmailing very wealthy and powerful figures whom he befriended and whored with and, almost certainly, secretly filmed in his various romper rooms getting it on with children.

One of this blackmailer's best friends was that March hare, Bill Clinton.

OF COURSE the Clinton's and their proxies intervened to quash Amy Robach's scoop.

How f---ing stupid do they think we are?

#8  Ghislaine Maxwell to play Eve Kendall. John Brennan to play Phillip Vandamm, and Bill Gates to play New York City ad exec Roger O. Thorhill. The famous classic remake was to be filmed on Little St. James Island.

This classic suspense film finds New York City ad executive Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant) pursued by ruthless spy Phillip Vandamm (James Mason) after Thornhill is mistaken for a government agent. Hunted relentlessly by Vandamm's associates, the harried Thornhill ends up on a cross-country journey, meeting the beautiful and mysterious Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint) along the way. Soon Vandamm's henchmen close in on Thornhill, resulting in a number of iconic action sequences - North by Northwest.

-War on Police-
San Francisco Supervisor Chants 'F*** the [Police Officers Association]' During DA Candidate's Campaign Rally
[MRCTV.ORG] Heading into 2020, it seems we’ve entered into an age in which anyone, from Twitter troll to elected public official, can say whatever strikes their fancy no matter how abhorrent, destructive or violent, from any microphone they can manage to find, and with near impunity.

Oh, sorry. I mean, any liberal. Conservatives can’t do that.

Take, for example, the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer, who, after clunking her way up to the stage to stump for left-wing district attorney candidate Chesa Boudin, used her moment at the podium to rant against the city’s 2,000-member police union by leading the audience in the chant, "F*** the POA [Police Officers Association]!"

Classy.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "Fewer raised her middle fingers while flanked by some of the city’s notable progressive leaders. Behind her were Supervisors Matt Haney and Hillary Ronen, as well as former Supervisors Jane Kim and David Campos."

The chant was reportedly in response to the POA’s position against Boudin.

Again, as I mentioned previously, this is a city supervisor. An elected city supervisor. Who apparently thinks it’s shrugs-a-plenty to rant profane things at her own city’s coppers.

Hilariously, Fewer followed up her unhinged tirade the next day by saying she’s sorry that her curses were "construed as an insult" toward coppers, but that she "cannot apologize" to the POA.

"It has been brought to my attention that the comments that I made last night, directed at the leadership of the Police Officers Association, were construed as an insult and an attack on the members of the San Francisco Police Department," Fewer said in a statement. "As this was not at all my intent, I would like to issue an apology to the 2,000 officers of the San Francisco Police Department; I am sorry for any offense that my comments may have caused."

"That said, I cannot apologize for my comments last night directed at the leadership of the Police Officers Association (POA)," Fewer added.

Boudin, whom Fewer was supposedly supporting during her rant, tried to distance himself from the incident without throwing Fewer completely under the bus, saying he "wasn't in the room when [the chant] started."

"I was surprised that it happened. I think it's coarse language I wouldn't have used it myself, but I think it shows some real dissatisfaction on the part of voters and even elected officials," Boudin said.

It also shows some extreme buttheadedness on the part of your elected officials, but hey. Can’t say that out loud.

#4  Well, it wasn't hard to find this little tidbit on Boudin's campaign finances...one of his top donors is Chloe Cockburn. She is a prominent partner of globalist billionaire George Soros' Democracy Alliance. Cockburn moderated a crucial 2017 summit with Soros and other deep-pocketed liberal philanthropists to strategize on taking over local and state offices to reclaim "our progressive future." Other bigwig Boudin donors hail from the Soros-allied Tides Foundation and Soros-funded Brennan Center for Justice.

And indeed...What makes Boudin especially toxic is his family tree. Boudin is the militant offspring of spoiled-rich radicals Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, members of the violent Weather Underground terrorist group, which bombed government buildings and corporate headquarters, aided convicted felons in jailbreaks and participated in a 1981 Brink's armored car holdup in Nyack, New York, with the Black Liberation Army. That crime took the lives of three innocent Americans -- police officers Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown and private security guard Peter Paige.

Home Front: Politix
Former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch 'used her personal email account to message Democrat staffer over a
[DailyMail - Where America gets its news] The former US ambassador to Ukraine used her personal email account to message a Democratic staffer over a 'delicate issue' a month before the whistleblower complaint was made public, according to Fox News.

Marie Yovanovitch testified under oath she had not replied to Democratic congressional staffer Laura Carey.

Three-time ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, who was abruptly recalled from Kiev in May, gave a closed-door deposition on October 11 to three congressional committees investigating whether there were grounds to impeach Trump.

She is a key witness in House Democrats' impeachment inquiry which began on September 24 after a whistleblower's allegations that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate unsubstantiated corruption charges against Democratic political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Carey's emails and Yovanovitch's reported replies will raise questions of who knew about the whistleblower complaint before it was made public and which Democrats were warned of its contents. It will also lead to question on whether Yovanovitch committed perjury.

Yovanovitch is said to have replied to Carey regarding the 'time-sensitive' issue two days after the whistleblower filed their complaint over Trump's infamous call with the Ukrainian president.

That despite telling Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin: 'I alerted the State Department, because I'm still an employee, and so, matters are generally handled through the State Department.'

Yovanovitch added: 'So, she emailed me. I alerted the State Department and, you know, asked them to handle the correspondence. And, she emailed me again and said, you know, who should I be in touch with?

'I didn't respond to that email, because I had already transferred everything to the State Department and I figured they would be in touch, and they were.'

But Fox News reports she did reply, writing she 'would love to reconnect and look forward to chatting with you'.
Establishing the initial personal meet (PM).
'Could you let me know if you have any time this week or next to connect? Happy to come to a place of your choosing, or if easier, to speak by phone at either of the numbers below. I'm also around this weekend if meeting up over coffee works.'
I'll be wearing a dark grey suit with matching hat and carrying my Yorkie named Smitty.
Zeldin told the network: 'I would highly suspect that this Democratic staffer's work was connected in some way to the whistleblower's effort, which has evolved into this impeachment charade.

'We do know that the whistleblower was in contact with [House Intelligence Committee Chairman] Adam Schiff's team before the whistleblower had even hired an attorney or filed a whistleblower complaint even though Schiff had lied to the public originally claiming that there was no contact.

'Additionally, while the contents of the email from this staffer to Ambassador Yovanovitch clearly state what the conversation would be regarding, Yovanovitch, when I asked her specifically what the staffer was looking to speak about, did not provide these details.

'I specifically asked her whether the Democratic staffer was responded to by Yovanovitch or the State Department.

'It is greatly concerning that Ambassador Yovanovitch didn't answer my question as honestly as she should have, especially while under oath.'


A Democratic House Foreign Affairs Committee spokesperson said the correspondence was 'to hear from an ambassador whose assignment was cut short under unusual circumstances'.

#3  Trump should have set up a cracker-jack transition purge team at the beginning of his term to clean out all the left-over Obamaites and Clintonistas.

OTOH, leaving them in place revealed much to Americans about the Donks and their stranglehold on Deepstate. Much more swamp-draining budget-cutting and downsizing needed.
Posted by: JohnQC || 11/08/2019 11:36 Comments || Top||

#4  This could be a turning-point in the war waged on us by the DS. Note that Trump has already won the battle over the federal judiciary: in addition to his iirc 144 federal appointees (and 55 pending), there's Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, two of the leading academic scholars on the judicial overreaches of the administrative state.

Think of the judicial front as the equivalent of Grant and Sherman's campaigns in the West in 1862, when the Army of the Republic was getting its arse kicked in Virginia. McClellan = Sessions and the other washouts of the pre-Barr phase of Trump's first term.

Soon-- with Durham's grand jury and the indictments to follow-- we will see victories on the main political/Congressional front as well as on the judicial front.

The tide has turned.

Newly Elected Virginia Senator Had Been Jailed for Having Sex with Teenager
[PJ] In 2014, Joe Morrissey, then a 57-year-old delegate to the Virginia General Assembly, plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and was sentenced to 12 months in jail (with six months suspended) because of a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old office assistant at his law firm.

On Tuesday, he won his election to the Virginia Senate. I'll give you one guess what his political affiliation is.

That's right, he's a Democrat. And he won his election with more than 60 percent of the vote.

Alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella was Biden guest at State Department banquet
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Eric Ciaramella, the alleged Ukraine whistleblower, was a guest of Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
at a glitzy lunch in October 2016 to honor the prime minister of Italia.

Biden co-hosted the banquet with former Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, unsuccessful presidential candidate, and utterly failed Secretary of State...
for then-Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Ciaramella, who is of Italian heritage, was among the U.S. officials who accepted an invitation. This week, the Washington Examiner reported that Ciaramella is now a deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, reporting to the director of national intelligence.

Ciaramella, a career CIA analyst, was Ukraine director on the National Security Council during the end of the B.O. regime and remained there during the early months of the Trump administration, when he was briefly acting senior director for Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an and Russian affairs. He is now accused of being the official who filed a complaint about a July 25 phone call in which President Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into a conspiracy theory regarding CrowdStrike and investigate Biden, a Democratic candidate for president in 2020, in relation to his son Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine.
