[It’s remarkable how well these C19 utility functions perform in their ability to predict the statements – ranging from policies to pabulum – of the three cohorts today exhorting us to do this vs that.

C19utilitiesFor those comfortable with such models of the realworld, they compress a whole lot of explanatory power about the debate to loosen the lockdown. (more here).  gjr]

    Lol. It’s not unmasking, it’s leaking that kind of intelligence to the Major Fakes News outlets. 10 years in the slammer, baby. Gotta protect American citizens. Civil rights stuff, 4th Amendment stuff. Wonder if it was Clapper or Susan Rice? Maybe Ben Rhodes.
    They all hard their preferred vehicles. Justice liked the NYT, Intel used Wa Compost, State and WH preferred CNN in 2016.
    Ten years and our laws and courts and trusted institutions really look down on that behavior.
    General Flynn was fired by Obama in 2014. Flynn was not a team player and wouldn’t go along with Clapper and Brennan and Obama…and what they were doing. Heck, it was Flynn speaking at a luncheon that let it slip that we were funding ISIL with boatloads of cash and arms (and safe passage) to right the Syrian Government. Syrian War stuff. No biggie. He served at the President’s pleasure. Obama fired 100 generals or more? Flynn no team player. He wanted to reform all the Intel Branches. Now, that’s a threat to Brennan and Clapper if I ever heard one.
    Lest we forget, General Flynn when announced to be on the Trump transition team, was still a private citizen and still a citizen of the United States. No leaking unmasked names to the press for THAT kind of counterintelligence stuff. Huge Bozo No-No.
    Please fornicate thyself if you still are limper enough.

    “The declassification of material from the Michael Flynn case has exposed more chilling details of an effort by prosecutors to come up with a crime to use against the former national security adviser. This week, however, a letter revealed another unsettling detail. Among over three dozen Obama administration officials seeking to “unmask” Flynn in the investigation was former Vice President Joe Biden. This revelation came less than a day after Biden denied any involvement in the investigation of Flynn. It also follows a disclosure that President Obama was aware of that investigation”

    You kids are funny trying to stay under George’s obscenity radar with your wanking, urine soaking, incontinence, and Walt’s gay fantasies,
    “The Friday news dump — also known as the Friday night news dump — is a political trick with plenty of precedent. Wait till the vast majority of the news business clocks out for on the week, and announce something you’d rather they not cover as much. People won’t be reading as much news at that point anyway, and perhaps it’ll be dismissed as old news by Monday morning.
    Few are as blatant about using this tactic, though, as the Trump White House.
    News broke late Friday night that Trump had removed the inspector general for the State Department, Steve Linick. It’s the third time in six weeks that such a move has been announced on a Friday night, with each inspector general having done something to pretty obviously alienate Trump. The unprecedented spate of removals has reinforced how Trump is rather obviously seeking to undermine independent oversight of his administration — and the timing of each of them only reinforces that.”

    I just can’t believe it. No, not the crickets over the recent bell weather election in CA for Congress. It is how little we scratched and how much of a treasure trove has been hauled in already.
    But that I mean the cynic in me thought little would come out of the Flynn case. But I was wrong and I admit. And the IG Report? No subpoena power, no making anyone answer questions outside the Department, etc. Thought nothing would come out of that because IGs don’t assign motive or state what was going on in a person’s mind, unless they come out and tell ya. But, I was wrong again, and I admit it.
    See how easy that is to say, “I was wrong.” Why Lefties will not or cannot admit they were wrong and more often than not grossly in error remains an answer best left to mental health experts and Providence.

    ‘Ex-Flynn deputy McFarland hits Obama officials over conflicting collusion claims: ‘Which way is it, guys?’
    “The director of national intelligence [James Clapper], the CIA director [John Brennan], the FBI director [James Comey], and the deputy FBI director [Andrew McCabe] in the Obama administration were going into closed, classified healings on Capitol Hill, in the House Intelligence Committee and they were saying there was no collusion,” she said.
    “…And yet at the very same time, they were walking out, they were going on the media and people like the CIA Director Brennan: he said, ‘Well, President Trump, he is a Russian asset.’
    “And then others were basically accusing President Trump of treason,” added McFarland, who served under retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. “Which way is it, guys? You dragged the country through three years of being at each other’s throats over something you knew was a lie and a hoax.

CNN’s Brian Stelter is telling his audience, not, “My God, I have failed you, and I hereby announce my retirement in disgrace from public life” but, “Why are those jerks so obsessed with this Russia story we talked up incessantly for three years?” Working in the major media is a (self) love story: It means never having to say you’re sorry.”

    “For a while, the government of colonial Boston doled out punishments with a set of iron leg shackles, called bilboes, imported from England. The bilboes eventually wore down, though, and when it came time to replace them, budget-conscious colonial officials opted for wood restraints over iron and ordered a set of wooden stocks from a local carpenter.
    A man named Edward Palmer took the job and soon submitted a bill for parts and labor, totaling one pound, thirteen shillings and seven pence. The officials thought this was exorbitant, and decided to charge Palmer with extortion. He was fined five pounds and sentenced to “be sett an houre in the stocks,” and got to be the first person to enjoy the craftsmanship of his product.”
