    13 months into his presidency the Don's swamp draining exercise has resulted in 0 convictions and 0 arrests. Add 0 bricks in the wall. Meanwhile he's bombed Syria twice in spite of his America First policy and just handed $300 billion for extra defense expenditure (which is really for offense). Little wonder Netanyahu loves the bloke.

    General Flynn Should WITHDRAW His Guilty Plea. His New Judge Is A Government Misconduct Expert

    "Extraordinary manipulation by powerful people led to the creation of Robert Mueller’s continuing investigation and prosecution of General Michael Flynn. Notably, the recent postponement of General Flynn’s sentencing provides an opportunity for more evidence to be revealed that will provide massive ammunition for a motion to withdraw Flynn’s guilty plea and dismiss the charges against him.

    It was Judge Rudolph Contreras who accepted General Flynn’s guilty plea, but he suddenly was recused from the case. The likely reason is that Judge Contreras served on the special court that allowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation to surveil the Trump campaign based on the dubious FISA application. Judge Contreras may have approved one of those four warrants."

    Nunes Demands Answers from Senior Obama Officials on Steele Dossier

    How much did Obama know about the dossier before Jan. 5th 2017?

    "The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee sent numerous letters Tuesday to former high-ranking Obama administration officials demanding full disclosure of their knowledge of the controversial and unverified dossier that sparked the investigation into allegations alleging collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia in the 2016 presidential elections, according to a letter obtained by this reporter.

    Chairman Devin Nunes, R- CA, did not disclose which senior members of the Obama administration received the letters but asked that all questions be answered by March 2, 2018. More importantly, the letter specifically asks if then President Obama was made aware of the contents of the dossier prior to Jan. 5, 2017 and whether or not any officials leaked the contents of the dossier to reporters or media representatives."

    The Questions:

    1. When and how did you first become aware of any of the information contained in the Steele dossier?

    2. In what form (s) was the information in the Steele dossier presented to you? By whom? (please describe each instance)

    3. Who did you share this information with? When? (Please describe each instance)

    4. What official actions did you take as a result of receiving the information contained in the Steele Dossier?

    5.Did you convene any meetings with the intelligence community and/or law enforcement communities as a result of the information contained in the Steele dossier?

    6. When did you first learn or come to believe that the Steele dossier was funded by a Democrat-aligned entity?

    7. When did you first learn or come to believe that the Steele dossier was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and or Hillary for America (Clinton Campaign)?

    8.When did you first become aware that the Steele dossier was used to obtain a FISA order on Carter Page?

    9. Was President Obama briefed on any information contained in the dossier prior to January 5, 2017?

    10. Did you discuss the information contained in the Steele dossier with any reporters or other representatives of the media? If so, who and when?

    FBI lacked corroboration for Page wiretap; discredited dossier writer Steele ID’d as Yahoo source

    Two pieces of evidence that have come together prove anti-Trump dossier writer Christopher Steele was the key source for a Yahoo News story that the FBI cited to support its wiretap application.

    Identifying the source of that September 2016 article on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page has taken on added importance in recent weeks.

    First, Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued a declassified memo on Feb. 2. It said the FBI relied greatly on Mr. Steele’s discredited Democrat-financed dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on Mr. Page.

    To bolster the dossier’s charge that Mr. Page met with two Kremlin figures in Moscow, the FBI cited the Yahoo News article, which said the same thing.

    But the Nunes memo said the FBI, in its Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act application, wasn’t corroborating the dossier because the Page accusation in Yahoo came from the same source: Mr. Steele.

    “The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016 Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page’s July 2016 trip to Moscow,” the memo states. “This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News.”

    Mr. Nunes cited Mr. Steele’s testimony, through his attorneys, in a London court case in which he is being sued for libel.

    House Intelligence Committee Investigation Turns to John Kerry, State Department

    The House Select Committee on Intelligence is now investigating former Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s possible role into the unverified dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton Campaign, this reporter has learned. The dossier, assembled by a former British spy, laid the foundation for the FBI’s investigation into alleged collusion between President Trump and Russia and was the essential piece of evidence used by the FBI to get a warrant to spy on a former volunteer for the Trump campaign.

    For more than a month, the committee has been in its second phase of investigations focused on former Obama State Department officials and their role in either transmitting information or using information provided by a former British spy and investigator Christopher Steele. Steele was hired by embattled research firm Fusion GPS, also under several congressional and Senate investigations.

    DOJ Announces Fast and Furious Documents Withheld by Eric Holder Will Be Released

    The Department of Justice announced Wednesday additional documents related to the Operation Fast and Furious scandal during the Obama administration will be released to the House Oversight Committee. The documents were previously withheld by Attorney General Eric Holder, who was voted in civil and criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to turn them over. President Obama invoked executive privilege in June 2012 to prevent their release just hours before the contempt vote was held.

    “The Department of Justice under my watch is committed to transparency and the rule of law. This settlement agreement is an important step to make sure that the public finally receives all the facts related to Operation Fast and Furious,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions released in a statement.

    The Department stated the document release is part of “the conditional settlement agreement, filed in federal court in Washington D.C.” and “would end six years of litigation arising out of the previous administration’s refusal to produce documents requested by the Committee.”

    I read about Operation Wide Receiver which led to Operation Fast and Furious then realised it was not about Stormy Daniels welcoming Donald Trump. Silly me!

    This could have some bearing on Holder running for president in 2020.

    General Michael Flynn, FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, FBI attorney Lisa Page and U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras.

    Newly redacted text messages discovered by congressional investigators reveal that an embattled FBI agent at the center of the Russia investigation controversy was close friends with a District of Columbia judge who recused himself from the criminal case over former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, congressional members said, and text documents show.

    Shame that every other major news organisation is MIA, as I have never particularly liked Fox News, but that is no excuse for you to continually shoot the messengers! The main protagonists are being taken down one by one, so there is definitely something going on

    Wow, the Grand Jury is already empanelled? I'm guessing they are just waiting for the OIG report to be officially released before they unseal the indictments.
