Leaky Schiff? Trump Accuses Democratic Lawmaker Of Leaking Details Of Russia Probe [VIDEO]
[Daily Caller] President Trump and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders both accused California Rep. Adam Schiff of selectively leaking details of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation.

Trump put Schiff on blast during an interview with The Wall Street Journal in the Oval Office on Thursday morning.

"All I see of these Democrats, like Adam Schiff ‐ it’s all he does, he’ll have a meeting, and then he’ll leave, and he’ll call up the meeting, and then I’ll have a meeting and then he’ll leave. He left meetings where people are being interviewed, and then all of a sudden they say a story about what’s going on inside the meetings," Trump said.

Sanders also took a dig at Schiff during the White House press briefing on Thursday afternoon.

"The only people that we’ve seen trying to influence the investigation are former Director Comey and Democrats in Congress ‐ and that would include Senator Feinstein, Representative Schiff ‐ who have both selectively leaked to the media witness interviews," said Sanders.

"We see that to be a big problem and something that should certainly be considered and looked at."

JW Tom Fitton: Clinton Email Scandal 'Worse than everyone expected' (video)
[Judicial Watch] We know the DOJ under the Obama administration was pro-Hillary and didn't prosecute her for the Clinton email scandal. Recently, Judicial Watch uncovered more emails from the Clinton State Department that made their way onto Anthony Weiner's laptop. These emails contained highly-sensitive information and were sent through Hillary Clinton's secret email server by Huma Abedin.

James Comey knew these documents existed on Weiner's laptop and did nothing. Meanwhile, the Mueller operation has been rife with conflicts of interest scandals involving Clinton/Trump biases, notably FBI agent Peter Strzok sending anti-Trump texts. Strzok was the same agent who led the Clinton email investigation. Additionally, Andrew McCabe, the number-two man at the FBI, is politically compromised having not recused himself from the Clinton email investigation.

#1  James Comey knew these documents existed on Weiner's laptop and did nothing.

Reminds me of a certain current AG.

#2  Maybe now you will see why I have been losing my damn mind.

There is much more here than you see now, but wait.

#3  There is much more here than you see now, but wait.

The trail will likely lead back to Obama and his puppet master Brennan. Senior intelligence community members squealing like pigs against Trump was the first clue. If legal pressure and criminal prosecution endangers Clinton, she'll toss those two under the bus quickly. She tossed Comey early on. I fear it's going to get very ugly.

The Washington establishment, Session's recusal and slow rolling are due to fear. They've surely put the pieces together but are sitting on top of a political powder keg. Once uncovered, any attack against the presidential icon Soetoro and the first woman (nearly president) will be seen in a very negative light and be used as political opposition ammunition.

#4  Worse than everyone expected


Everyone? Speak for yourself Kemosabe.

#5  I expect it to be a lot worse than what it is now.

#6  I expect certain mid level sacrificial lambs. It will never go to the top officially or legally, only implied. It might get as high as Strzok, Abedin, no way, but that would be nice. McCain will get $hit on by both sides.

#7  The key to Clinton is Huma, and the key to Obama is ValJar. Huma will fold under hard pressure and Hilda knows it and since the CGI money laundering scheme is folding, buying her and others off will be harder and harder to do. ValJar is a far harder nut to crack, and remember that she lives, literally, with CHamp at the Kalorama compound. SO surveillance and electronic monitoring are under the USSS protective umbrella and any investigation would be visible to their detail, by now almost certainly filled with sympathetic agents and supervisors.

#8  When the full extent of the case is laid out for the POTUS and the AG in a detailed briefing and there will be one when they decide who to prosecute and what for, I would bet that Trump will drop the hammer on them all...after all of the crap that Hillary and her minions have put him through this year do you doubt that if he has a chance to prosecute for a high crime he will?

I have no doubt he will pursue these jackals to the full extent of the law.

#9  I believe a certain captain of the Titanic discovered the same thing about a certain Iceberg too...

I suspect this goes a lot deeper. May need to grant some big name immunity - and possible witness protection - to get down deeper. But that's IMHO - I'm not any sort of investigator.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
A Uniparty In More Ways Than One
[Time] A Democratic state senator and a Republican state senator in Florida have admitted to having an affair after a published video purportedly showed one leaving the other’s apartment while they were in the capital for a legislative session.

In a joint statement Tuesday, the bipartisan legislators — Republican Anitere Flores, of Southwest Miami-Dade, and Democrat Oscar Braynon II, of Miami Gardens — confirmed their relationship and apologized to their families and constituents. Both are reportedly married with children.

Obama Lectures Trump On His Behavior
Obama lectures... evergreen headline.
[Yahoo] Former President Obama has a message for President Donald Trump: Pay close attention to your behavior because it has the potential to impact the nation’s culture and values.

"One of the things that Michelle figured out, in some ways faster than I did‐was part of your ability to lead the country doesn’t have to do with legislation, doesn’t have to do with regulations, it has to do with shaping attitudes, shaping culture, increasing awareness," Obama told David Letterman on the first episode of his new Netflix show, which was released Friday.
So Michelle figured it out, and not Barack Hussein Obama, the Smartest President Evah? What a schmuck.
I will say this - I thought Obama was going to come out twice a week and criticize Trump. I think that, over the past year, he's been comparatively restrained. At some point, Obama's going to ratchet it up and Trump's gonna cut loose on him.

#1  Pay close attention to your behavior because it has the potential to impact the nation’s culture and values.

For example, witness the behavior of the Deep State, the news media and race relations upon your departure.

#2  Pay close attention to your behavior because it has the potential to impact the nation’s culture and values.

As in Make America Great Again? Why would that sell so well after 8 years of your reign? /rhet question

John McCain Stays Silent on Involvement in Hoax Trump Dossier After Fusion GPS Revelations
[Breitbart] TEL AVIV ‐ For the past three days, Sen. John McCain’s office has not responded to Breitbart News phone and email inquiries seeking clarification of the Arizona politician’s role in delivering the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration.

In a New York Times oped last week, the founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped get the dossier to McCain using an "emissary," with the goal of McCain passing the information contained in the questionable document to U.S. intelligence agencies.

The disclosure raises questions about whether McCain knew that the information he delivered to the Obama administration was actually an opposition document reportedly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Breitbart News has been seeking clarification on this issue since Tuesday. However, McCain’s office did not reply yesterday to phone and email requests for comment on the matter.

#9  If there is a decent bone left in your body John, resign now and let the Gov appoint a functional conservative to support the President and Arizona in the tumultuous weeks ahead. Lindsey Graham, Flake and Collins are enough trouble as it is.

#14  McCain is a dishonorable SOB. Whatever honor he did have is long gone. An Honorable man would have resigned, so McSally can be appointed, clearing the way for the primary to take the Flake seat wide open. That would lock up both seats for quite a while. McCain is being bought by Soros money that bastard.

McCain needs to hurry up do the nation a service and just die already.
