Trump and the American people (at least those with a brain) have lost confidence in the DOJ and FBI from the Obama era. Strozk and Paige and the others that have disgraced the country have seen to that. Glad to see Trump smack Strozk upside the head at the end of the Presser.

Well, Peter Strzok sat on the evidence of finding classified info on Carlos Danger’s computer for three weeks during a non-biased FBI investigation, of cours. That at a minimum is obstruction of justice.
McCabe, Ohr, Comey, Peter, and others have committed at a minimum Sedation against a sitting President. They are really going after those who investigate the investigators with their normal coordinated tactics. It’s up to Rosenstein to hold the line against Congressional Oversight and protect the Swamp thangs.

Finally got round to reading the indictments against the Russian 12.
One thing really popped out at me. It was the pair that used stolen/fraudulent identities to obtain VISAs to enter the US. Then they used the fraudulent ID’s to open bank accounts and committed wire fraud to pay for stuff through Pay Pal. That’s a big no-no. Can’t buy stuff on-line using fake IDs. through fraudulently obtained bank accounts.
That really stood out to me. Imagine using fake IDs to enter our country and using stolen SS numbers to set up bank accounts. I just could not help from thinking over and over again the legal jeapody our own CA State Democrat Party endorsed candidate for the US Senate and half his family are put in.

Direct quote from Bret Hume
“Because Trump is unable to see past himself, he sees the Russia meddling investigation as only about him and the collusion claim, and thus calls it a witch hunt. But the investigations are much more about what Russia did, as the House and Senate reports long since established,” Hume tweeted.

1) M, when I saw the police blotter, the first thing that crossed my mind was if the ex was back in town. I have a soft spot for high spirited women. 🙂
2). Back to the indictments: “ So, is Russia now presumed innocent of hacking the 2016 election?” Note: Critical thinking and context required. M and Punchy can be excused from this reading.
“The second [false premise] is that the number of indictments Mueller has generated proves that there were solid grounds to suspect Trump-campaign “collusion” in Russia’s election-meddling. The blatant, partisan dishonesty of this claim is best encapsulated in this passage from the Washington Post’s report on Mueller’s new indictment:
Mueller and a team of prosecutors have been working since May 2017 to determine whether any Trump associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the election. With the new indictment, his office has filed charges against 32 people on crimes including hacking, money laundering and lying to the FBI.
The Post goes on grudgingly to point out that 26 of the 32 charged are Russians “who are unlikely to ever be put on trial in the United States.” (Unlikely?) But the paper conveniently omits mention of the fact that none of the 32 have been charged with a Trump–Russia conspiracy to interfere in the election. That’s the only thing Mueller was needed for.
What there will be, though, is a new international order in which nation-states are encouraged to file criminal charges against each other’s officials for actions deemed to be provocative (or, more accurately, actions that can be exploited for domestic political purposes). Of all government officials in the world, American officials are the most active on the global stage — and that includes meddling in other countries’ elections. I doubt our diplomats, intelligence operatives, elected officials, and citizens will much like living in the world Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein have given us. If the idea was to give Vladimir Putin and his thug regime a new way to sabotage the United States, nice work.

Meuller sends it over to DOJ, which will now “transition responsibility for this case to our Department’s National Security Division while we await the apprehension of the defendants.” This counterintelligence operation will never see a courtroom. All hat and no cattle.

More thumbs down from Fox News
In an op-ed titled, “Putin eats Trump’s lunch in Helsinki — This is no way to win against Russia” Fox News analyst Douglas E. Schoen argued that the President’s performance was deeply disappointing.
“President Putin was calculated and in control. Conversely, President Trump seemed to lack authority, praising Putin when he should have been condemning him, and ceding opportunities to confront Putin on his most egregious actions of the past decade – including meddling in the 2016 election and the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014,” he said.
He also condemned Trump’s attacks on US intelligence agencies.
“For a sitting U.S. president to say publicly that he believes a foreign leader over his own intelligence team is shocking and admonishable. At a time when our democracy faces grave threats, it is deeply troubling that the president would side with the very country who attacked us.”

Trump did not dis our intelligence agencies. Trump dissed Obama’s intelligence agencies. Ole Communist Party voter John Brennanhad had another flare up with a bad case of TDS saying, “Donald Trump’s press performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’” Brennan tweeted. “It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”
Oh my. The only question I have is why why why do the bias fakenews want desperately to have bad relations with Russia? Not bad, they want worse relations. They demand it
I can understand the 5 Bush Nevertrumpers in the Senate like Graham and Corker and half brain half wit McCain and his gang of warmongers going nuts per usual, but I never understood why the Left wants so desperately to have bad miserable relations with the world’s second largest military power? Bunch of nukes. It’s like it is treason to even think about talking to Russia. I just don’t get it. Which reminds me, that murderous thug in North Korea has not fired off a missle test since Nov, 2017, but I digress.
Bingo! I figured it out. They hate Trump so much they do not prefer peace over war, do prefer hostile relations with Russia over any dialogue, want to drag us into another needless war……because they want to get of Trump so bad that nothing else matters. The have lost sight of the bigger picture. Man, that TDS is some powerful toxic stuff.
Loved how Trump went after Debbie Whatzername Shultz’s main squeeze, her Pakistanian boytoy. Yeah, what happened to that? Why was the Obama FBI refused access to the “hacked” computers? And what’s up with this Soros character funneling hundreds of millions into influencing US elections with impunit, complete with hired street thugs? Thanks, Trump, I almost forgot about that, ROFLMAO. And thanks Putin for reminding us off all the suitcases of cash that got moved out of Russia to Hillary’s Foundation and campaign, lol.
Trump has his eyes on the prize, the bigger prize. We used to have better dialogue with the Rooskies until Obama trashed all that prior long hard work. And Hillary saying all those nasty bad things about Putin on those cables Snowden leaked, not to mention Hillary’s and Obama’s intelligence agencies meddling with Russian Elections. Then Hillary gave Putin a reset button after screwing up our relations big time with Russia, ROFLMAO. Putin took that reset button and promptly annexed Crimea with a big middle finger to our Community Organizer (the smartest President in history) and Hillary.
Scenes is right. Sometimes it’s all personal. Now that Trump cleared the stage of the Clinton/Obama stench, we might make some progress here, a little at a time.

I reject your factious premise that its is a Republican DOJ. First, Meuller brought the indictments. Name on R on Meuller’s team. Name one. Name one that was not a generous donor to the Clinton Campaign. Name just one. Now, an e all those officials who went to Hillary’s Victory Party. I will wait.
Yes, Meuller is under the DOJ, per statute. Let’s see. Sessions, the AG, is on the sidelines and can’t say a peep or even look that way, and Rosenstein’s men (all Trump haters) are running the show….that is, the ones that have not been fired yet or demoted or put in the HR Department, or put on ice in some office for corruption and conducting an bias thumb on the scale investigation.
Try reading “Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice” by Sydney Powell sometime. It’s perfect stuff for Democracy Now! Seriously, Paul, it’s a must read and you won’t be able to sleep for a night or two. And no one can attack the author. Amazingly Meuller brought back Weismann, the attack dog who quickly fled fro. the Justice Department t right when the spotlight was on him and his tactics and just before the Supreme Court throw out al of Weismann’s charges 9-0 against Arthur Anderson. Nine to zip. Too late for them. The firm was destroyed, throwing 35,000 folks out of work and leaving 2,5000 big corporations scrambling to find new tax accountatants. Gone and they did nothing wrong. Neither did Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) or Merril Lynch executives. Andy Weismann did not care. It was all about busting balls and filing charges, never about seeking the truth. Those Swamp Monsters are still in place, still there. They run the show. Republican Justice Department? Not yet, but give it time. Go out and try to learn something new today, Pablo.
