Difficult for me to believe that after 10 years, neither the FBI nor the intelligence community had any knowledge of the Woodbridge, VA based Awan Bros. activities.
#3
Considering the investigations on fake news and mere innuendo missing this organized crime activity for so long has to be considered intentional by the bureau.
#4
Notice how the 'old saw' of... 'We had the Awan Bros. on our radar' is NOT being used.
We'll just implement the 'space-time continuum' and hope for the best. Well WTF, it works for the Clintons. If anything else bubbles up, we'll blame it on black helicopters.

Basque blood here - French side of Pyrenees. I don't see that side participating. Mostly an FU from ETA territory on Spanish side to twist the knife

Frank, having known some 'Spanish Side' Basque nationalists who were friends of my Mom, I would agree that it's ankle biting.
These folks we knew didn't see themselves as being related in any way with the rest of the Iberian peninsula.

If Catalonia does gain their Independence the Basques will be next.

Which is why the Spanish govt via a minister publicly threatened them not to upset the apple cart and think of independence.
Also the application of art 155 of the Spanish constitution is a test run to do the same to the Basques should they get uppity again.
The French Basques would get slapped down real hard.
Valls- who's dad was Catalan, has pretty much drunk the Jacobin koolaid on Catalan. independence

The Only separatist movement that has proved their case is Kurdistan and the whole piece3 of shit world turned their backs on them.

No one in this idiot separatist movement has yet to tell me why it should be, at all.
[PJ] In multiple embassies around the world, particularly those staffed entirely by career Foreign Service officers, no portrait of President Trump or Vice President Pence has been hung. Up until last week, the swamp had an excuse ‐ there was no official portrait and the swamp refused to go to the trouble to find unofficial ones.
But it’s not just the entrances to embassies where it seems the 2016 election never happened. All throughout the government, Obama holdovers who rabidly oppose President Trump and his policies still hold positions of extraordinary power. The swamp is alive and well.
Consider the National Security Council, where Fernando Cutz is enabling Trump’s most mortal enemies ‐ George Soros and the globalist Left ‐ to threaten to topple the pro-American government of one of America’s closest allies, Guatemala.

There are Marines in every one of these places. Order them to post the Presidents picture immediately. and report any actions to remove or obscure it via military comma. Done.

Oh, I see you still have Soetoro's picture in the hallway. Might as well leave it, we're closing the mission down in 30 days. The Swiss will be forwarding your mail. Please notify everyone by COB. Tell the Chief of Station he can 'move off on the economy', no problem.
OBTW, the Marine Security Guard (MSG) team will be flying out with me tomorrow morning. I had dinner with them last night, they were ecstatic to hear the news. Have a nice day.

Since the official portraits of the Prez and Vice were not released till 31 Oct, color me surprised they're not up the next day around the world. I'll give them a week. However, the portrait of Obama should have come down on inauguration day.
Long and detailed. Possibly not the whole truth...
[AnNahar] It was just before noon in Moscow on March 10, 2016, when the first volley of malicious messages hit the Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... campaign.
The first 29 phishing emails were almost all misfires. Addressed to people who worked for Clinton during her first presidential run, the messages bounced back untouched.

Has anyone seen the DNC server other than Crowdstrike? Thought Crowdstrike backed off on the claim of Russian hacking into the server via Cozybear and Fancybear? Interesting article about this at Breitbart: Here. Why did the FBI never obtain the DNC. Did they already know what was on it or just didn't want to know what was on it? (Rhetorical question)? There is a much better forensic argument for Seth Rich having downloaded DNC files but then Seth is not around to ask, is he?

To me the big issue is NOT who hacked the DNC, it is what those emails SAID that is the big news.
Total corruption and malicious game playing to guarantee Hillary got the nomination.
The media have succeeded in turning this entire issue on its head. It is all about hacking not the content of what was found. If this dirt had been found on a Republican, the hacking would have been pushed into sideshow status.
Except for polling data and finance, what should the DNC have the right to hide?
The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis made a Washington Post article playing up the NRA’s donations to members of Congress look pretty silly with one simple tweet in early October.
The Post’s story detailed where roughly $3.6 million in NRA political donations have gone in the past few decades. However, Davis pointed out that Planned Parenthood’s political donations from last year alone absolutely dwarf that number.
“Reporter uses basic division on above tweet and you won’t believe what happens next,” Twitchy posted on Tuesday, calling out the article for being a bit overwrought.
“Since 1998, the NRA has donated $3,555,194 to current members of Congress,” The Post contributor Kyle Griffin tweeted, with a link to the story. “Find out here who has received donations.”
Davis replied: “A whopping $190,000/year spread out across 400+ races, huh? Planned Parenthood spent $38 million just last year.”

The NRA could give considerably more to political causes if a large portion of it's budget (like Planned Parenthood) were FEDERALLY FUNDED.
Planned Parenthood is essentially a "medical benefits" money laundering shell game for the democratic party.
The highly successful Planned Parenthood services and entitlement scheme became the prototype for Obamacare. Efforts to cut Federal Funding to both have been met with strong opposition from the left, and for good reason.
#2
So your telling me that an org that takes millions of tax dollars from the US, used that money to try and swing an election... Sounds like money laundering to me...

Feuding with Donald Trump is a bad idea. Too many people have wound up worse for the feud, the latest being Alec Baldwin.
It's not what President Trump does to them. It's just that karma kneecaps so many of them.
Oh, not everyone winds up worse, I suppose. But enough do that a wise man would ask, why risk it? The idea that he's as much smarter then them as they are smarter then their, true believer, supporters just doesn't occur.

As was observed of a popular fictional character, 'He's smarter than you, he's luckier than you, and whatever it is you think is going to happen the exact opposite will happen.'
[Townhall] The GOP tax plan, unveiled today, allows expectant parents to contribute to their unborn baby’s 529 college savings account.
"Nothing shall prevent an unborn child from being treated as a designated beneficiary," the plan says. It defines an unborn child as a "child in utero" which "means a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb."
Abortion advocacy groups, including NARAL and Planned Parenthood, denounced the language in the tax reform bill.

Hopefully the science is settled on that one. Could have been a Pangolin 'in utero.' But then of course, Federal protections would have been immediately forthcoming.
[TheBlaze] Actress Mila Kunis revealed this week that she has been donating to Planned Parenthood each month in Vice President Mike Pence’s name. She explained why she has been doing so during an appearance on "Conan."
What did Kunis say?
Kunis explained to host Conan O’Brien that the recurring donation isn’t a prank, but simply a reminder that "there are women out there in the world that may or may not agree with his platform."
"Every month to his office, he gets a little letter that says like, ’an anonymous donation has been made in your name,’" she added, noting it’s her way of peacefully protesting the Trump administration.
How did people react?
For liberal women like Kunis, being pro-abortion under the guise of supporting "women’s access to health care" is a big thing. So anytime conservatives or Republicans suggest stripping Planned Parenthood of its federal funding, they blow up.
But many pointed out that Kunis proves exactly what her peers say can’t happen: that Planned Parenthood can be completely funded without taxpayer dollars. The organization currently receives more than a half billion taxpayer funds each year.
In fact, many said Kunis made the case for exactly why Planned Parenthood should be stripped of its federal funds: Light Twitter hilarity ensues.
