M.N.: The answer is: “YES”, and without any doubts! The FBI Did Become A ‘KGB-Type Operation’ Under Obama! Investigate him personally, investigate the FBI, and investigate how it happened.
“I think the FBI has been compromised,” Fitton said on Fox News @ Night. “Forget about shutting down Mr. Mueller.
Do we need to shut down the FBI because it was turned into a KGB-type operation by the Obama administration?”

Conservative watchdog head: Do we need to shut down the FBI?
The Hill Fitton pointed to recent reports that FBI agent Peter Strzok was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation because of anti-Trump text messages he sent to an FBI colleague during the campaign. In one of those messages, Strzok called … FACT CHECK: Did The FBI Become A ‘KGB-Type Operation’ Under Obama?Newsweek Conservatives want the FBI demolished — to protect Donald TrumpSalon Judicial Watch’s Fitton: Was FBI Turned Into A KGB-Type Operation Under Obama Administration?RealClearPolitics Mediaite all 5 news articles » |
M.N.: I don’t care what the “Newsweek”‘s verdict is (“no”), I have my own verdict, and it is a big, bold, with the period,
YES.
However, this “matter” is not for the journalistic opinions but for the in-depth legal-historical inquiry. Start it! And do not forget:
“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
And I would add, that those who are not willing to investigate the past are condemned to repeat it without even realizing that it was the past and that it was a huge, huge blunder.
The Trump Disaster is the direct sequel and the direct continuation of the Obama Disaster, of whatever origins they are: Russian, Chinese, German, or other.

Inside the Ring: U.S. Military Could Lose Next War, Report Says | ||

Grassley Demands More Answers About FBI Officials Anti-Trump Texts | ||
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) is calling on the Justice Department to hand over more information regarding the text messages exchanged between two senior FBI employees and any communications they had with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.The text messages in question, Grassley said, suggest “some officials took actions beyond expressing their political opinions.”Grassley wants to know when and how Justice Department officials first learned of the politically charged text messages, and what steps they are taking to fully review the activities referenced in the messages and take any disciplinary measures.”Any improper political influence or motives in the course of any FBI investigation must be brought to light and addressed,” Grassley wrote in a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. “Former Director Comey’s claims that the FBI doesnt give a rip about politics certainly are not consistent with the evidence of discussions occurring in the deputy directors office” in August of last year.Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday defended special counsel Robert Mueller in the facing of growing criticism that political bias had infected his probe, as well as the top ranks of decision-makers at the FBI and Justice Department.Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, Rosenstein said he does not believe there is good cause to fire Mueller. He acknowledged that some members of the Mueller’s team have political views but said those personal biases don’t necessarily taint their work. Texts released this week between two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation before being removed call Trump a “loathsome human” and mention the prospects of an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency. The electronic messages between FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer, that mention an “insurance policy” also refer to the potential of Strzok working for “Andy”what some GOP lawmakers believe to be McCabe. “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s officethat there’s no way [Trump] gets electedbut Im afraid we can’t take that risk,” Strzok wrote to Page in a text released by the Justice Department dated Aug. 15. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok wrote in the text. The Iowa Republican demanded to know when Rosenstein first learned about the texts and asked for any other records relating to McCabes communications between Strzok and Page. McCabe is under scrutiny for playing a key role in the Clinton email investigation even though his wife received $700,000 from Virginia Democrats when she was running for statewide office. That sum includes nearly $500,000 from a political committee affiliated with Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a close friend of the Clintons who served on the board of the Clinton Global Initiative. McCabe failed to recuse himself from the Clinton email probe until one week before the presidential election last year. Another text referenced a second phone Strzok and Page used to “talk about Hillary because it can’t be traced.” That text was sent just days before Strzok interviewed Clinton aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills in the FBI investigation into Clintons use of a private email server, Grassley noted. Grassley asked Rosenstein if the Justice Department has identified the phone referenced in the text, and whether it has taken steps to review the records on the phone that allegedly “cant be traced.” “If none, please explain why not?” he wrote. “If steps have been taken, please detail them and provide all records reviewed.” The Justice Department inspector general is investigating the Justice Departments handling of the Clinton email investigation, and reportedly discovered the texts during the course of that probe.

FCCs Net Neutrality Meeting Evacuated On Advice of Security | ||
A security team abruptly evacuated a Federal Communications Commission meeting as officials were debating and about to vote on the future of net neutrality.FCC chairman Ajit Pai announced that the delay would take place.”On advice of security, we need to take a brief recess,” Pai said.Officers then told all present to exit the room and leave their belongings behind.Dogs then swept the room, and shortly afterward, people were allowed back into the area. This is not the first time the FCC has had such a disruption. In 2010, the FCC’s headquarters was evacuated for about two hours. The FCC later voted on party lines to undo the net neutrality ruleswhich classified Internet Service Providers as public utilities, giving the government broad regulatory powerthat the Obama administration put in place. |

NY Times Reports Obama Only Told 18 Falsehoods During Entire Presidency | ||
A recent New York Times analysis claims that over his eight years in office, former President Barack Obama only told 18 distinct lies.The Times set out to compare the trustworthiness of Obama compared to President Donald Trump. “In his first 10 months in office, [Trump] has told 103 separate untruths, many of them repeatedly. Obama told 18 over his entire eight-year tenure,” the piece reads.On the list are some of Obama’s most well-known whoppers, including “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan,” and that he “didnt set a red line” on Syria’s use of chemical weapons.By contrast, fact-checker Politifact ruled that over the course of his presidency, Obama made 43 “false” statements and 48 “mostly false” statements. Politifact also identified 7 “pants on fire” statements, which are falsehoods that are “not accurate and make a ridiculous claim.”The majority of Politifact’s “Pants on Fire”-rated claims didn’t even make it on to the Times list, including:
In addition, several Obama claims that were rated “Four Pinocchios” by the Washington Post fact-checker are missing from the Times list, including four from the Post‘s list of “Obamas biggest whoppers.”

Haley: Irans Fingerprints All Over Conflicts, Terrorist Groups in the Middle East | ||
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Thursday unveiled recently declassified evidence that she believes proves Iran is violating international law by funneling missiles to Houthi rebels in Yemen.”Its ballistic missiles and advanced weapons are turning up in war zones across the region,” Haley said at a press conference at the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C. “It’s hard to find a conflict or a terrorist group in the Middle East that does not have Iran’s fingerprints all over it.”Haley then pushed back against Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s recent New York Times op-ed, in which he argued that Iran’s military activities comply with international law, saying that a newly released report tells the opposite story of what Zarif claims.”It tells the story of Iran as the arsonist. The report shows the Tehran regime not putting out fires, but fanning the flames of conflict in the region,” Haley said. “In its strongest language yet, the secretary general’s report shows violation after violation of weapons transfers and ballistic missile activity. The United States welcomes this report, as should every nation concerned about uranium expansion.”Haley added that the report makes a “convincing case” that Iran is illegally providing the Houthi militants in Yemen with dangerous weapons.”The report provides devastating evidence of missiles, conventional arms, and explosive boats of Iranian origin used by the rebels in Yemen, all of which violate U.N. resolutions,” Haley said. ” The United States and our partners went to great lengths to support the U.N. investigations into Iranian violations by declassifying evidence, so that the world could better be informed of the extent of Iran’s maligned activities. ” Haley said the fight against Iran’s aggression is the world’s fight and that the United States is acting today in the spirit of transparency and cooperation to help defeat this threat. She then presented what she described as recovered pieces of a missile fired by Houthi militants from Yemen into Saudi Arabia, missing a civilian airport in Riyadh, its intended target. She reiterated that the missile was intended for an international civilian airport where tens of thousands of people travel every day, and then asked the audience to imagine if this happened at Dulles International Airport near D.C. or John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City “This evidence is part of what has led the U.S. intelligence community to conclude unequivocally that these weapons were supplied by the Iranian regime,” Haley said. “The evidence is undeniable. The weapons might as well have had ‘Made in Iran’ stickers all over it. The United States stands ready to share what we know to further the cause of peace. We ask our friends and our allies to do the same.” The post Haley: Iran’s Fingerprints ‘All Over’ Conflicts, Terrorist Groups in the Middle East appeared first on Washington Free Beacon. |

Perez Refuses to Give Straight Yes When Asked if Hes Fully Satisfied With Pelosi, Schumer Leadership | ||
Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez refused to say Thursday if he is Hemmer continued to pressure Perez for a straight answer. “So you are satisfied with her leadership,? I take it thats a yes?” Hemmer persisted. “Well you know what? We’re leading into the 2018 election cycle,” Perez said. “So its a maybe?” Hemmer commented. “I think we are going to win the Senate and the House. It’s an uphill battle, but I think with their leadership we can do it,” Perez said. “I cant chalk up that answer to a yes,” Hemmer concluded. Pelosi, who has served in the House since 1987, has long held influence among House Democrats. She served as Speaker of the House from 2007-11 and has served as House Minority Leader since that time. Over the past year, a number of Democratic lawmakers have called for new blood. Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton has been an outspoken critic of Pelosi, and called for new leadershipon multiple occasions. Linda Sanchez (D., Calif.) said in October she believed it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation.” Rep. Kathleen Rice (D., N.Y.) also wants a “leadership change,” telling CNN “It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to go, and the entire leadership team.”It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to go, and the entire leadership team.” Pelosi defend herself against criticism in October while she talked to ABCs George Stephanopoulos about her strengths as a leader. “I think we do have a great array of talent, and I have promoted it all along the way,” she said, naming Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) as an example. “I think Im a great legislator, I know the budget,” she said. “Self-promotion is a terrible thing but clearly somebody has to do it.” The post Perez Refuses to Give Straight Yes When Asked if Hes Fully Satisfied With Pelosi, Schumer Leadership appeared first on Washington Free Beacon. |
