    It's the prerogative of the Presidential Admin to use the agencies to spy on whomever the Admin wants to have spied upon.

     

    Nothing new here.

     

    Pretending they didn't do it is quite a chuckle.

     

     

     

    I remember seeing a clip of Lemonhead slamming the President of FALSE claims against Susan Rice and Donny boy said he wouldn't insult his audience by talking about an ever so false claim by the President. 

     

    Say what you want about the President, but I don't think he is going to make false claims about him being spied on.

    We just don't if Russian interference changed the election results. They might have 

     

     No, Hillary being the most horrific candidate in Presidential Election history is what changed votes, nothing more, nothing less.

     

    The sooner people realize this fact, the better off we will be in this country.

     

    SMH.

    They were chanting it again at CPAC! 

     

    Excusable with the GOP running silly investigations every time she turned around, Travelgate, Benbigazigate along with all the stupid conspiracy theories about Pizzagate, Vince Foster, Seth Rich, etc. 

     

    The Russia investigation, on the other hand, is serious and has guilty pleas already and evidence of a foreign power trying to fix our election. Very Serious! 

     

    You believe what you want.

    Its sort of like the Hillary haters chanting "lock her up" 

     

    Trump opened his mouth about Hillary being a criminal and his supporters followed suit.

     

    Trump should have kept that behind closed doors, but he didn't and his supporters are beating that chant like a drum at every rally.

     

    Whatever isle you are in, we can all agree that the "lock her up" chant is tiresome.

    Considering that there's now a term - full of Schiff - named after the good dipSchiff from California, it is unlikely that Schiff-for-brains destroyed anyone's credibility.

     

    Well, except for the partisan morons who buy anything a Democrat sells, no questions asked.

     

    I have learned over the last year and a half that the Democrats and the left come off as the biggest morons you will ever meet.

     

    And I say this while I am no conservative or right winger whatsoever. I have my issues with them too, but in today's world they come off as a little less demented than the left.

    Rice answered Grassley and Graham's letter... 

     

    https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/obama-russia-trump-transition-405823

     

    When I get a moment, I'll write more on this... but it's essentially evasive blather sprinkled in with MSM talking points for the narrative engineers to run with for the weekend cycle. She also changes her story (omits that Biden was in the meeting, despite noting it in the email). She then denies knowing anything about the FISA memo until 2017 - despite being in the room with Comey and Yates who signed off on that very FISA, for the very investigation they were briefing Obama and Rice on. 

     

    It's a pointless exercise on her part, Grassley knew the answers to the questions before he asked. She just dug her hole a little deeper. 

     

    Sessions needs to grow some balls and take Rice down.

     

    i hated her the first time I ever saw that face.

     

    Just my opinion, but I think she is one crooked criminal who totally abused her power while in office.

     

    i hope Rice gets hers.

    If I remember correctly, when I had DirecTV it was labeled FNC.

     

    All I know about FOX is that they have hot broads, yet I have no idea what channel it is so I can see these hot broads, lol.

     

    All kidding aside, back in the day I had no idea where FOX news was. It was either CNN or MSNBC.

     

    And if I watched CNN or MSNBC nowadays, I would be told how much of murdering dictator, traitor, treasonous, corrupter, sexual assaultant that Trump is.

    Let's dig into the newest indictment of Alex Van der Zwaan. This is REALLY complex but interesting because of how neatly it ties in the Clinton Foundation, the DNC, McCain, Steele, the Podesta Group, and how the dossier was shopped/bolstered... just not in the way most will expect. I have a busy day today, and this bit is something I've been tracking for months now and I'm swimming in sources and connections - enough to make me cross eyed. So bear with me, I'll try to lay it out below as quickly and concisely as possible. Some of it though, you're going to have to dig for yourself to make the connections.   

     

    On to der Zwaan - who is being charged with lying to the FBI and SC in relation to work he did for the Ukrainian government in 2012:

    https://www.lawfareblog.com/document-alex-van-der-zwaan-information

     

    Let me emphasize this for the cheap seats: 2012. This has nothing to do with Trump, the only connection to Trump is Zwaan's association with Gates - which, as we'll see, is more about Manafort and the DNC than anyone else. 

     

    So why does this indictment matter then? Well, I argue it shows what Mueller is really after with Manafort/Gates' indictments. It's not about Russia directly, it's about the Ukraine and the illegal lobbying Manafort and Podesta were doing for pro Russian Ukrainians and Putin by extension.  

     

    A brief recap:

     

    Gates/Manafort and the Podesta Group were hired by the then ruling political party in the Ukraine to smear Yulia Tymoshenko - a former Prime Minister of Ukraine who was pro-EU and NATO membership. 

    https://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/18/trump-advisers-manafort-and-gates-waged-covert-influence-campaign-for-previous-ukraine-ruling-party.html

     

    Tymoshenko was the victim of a series of politically motivated court cases in which she was framed for embezzlement and other white collar crimes for which she was cleared years later: http://www.humanrightseurope.org/2015/01/ukraine-court-discontinues-examination-of-tymoshenko-human-rights-complaint/

     

    Does that pattern sound familiar to anyone? Dirty political tricks, deployed by DC lobbyists, to frame a political rival of the man paying the bills. This wasn't about securing American interests, Tymoshenko was a western leaning Ukrainian voice. Once Putin and Porenshenko wanted to sideline.

     

    Van der Zwaan got nipped for lying to the FBI and SC about a phone call with Gates (which Gates had recorded) - the call and the lie happened after Manafort was already fired from Trump's campaign, and after Gates was marginalized to the fringes. Per the indictment he lied "in the course of answering questions concerning his work as an attorney... engaged in 2012 by the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice to prepare a report on the trail of Yulia Tymoshenko."

     

    In other words, this isn't about Trump, the Russians, or the election. It's about the Ukraine and DC lobbyists working for Putin loyalists in 2012-2016

     

    This reared it's head in our election when in 2016, the Ukrainians worked with the same DC lobbyists and shell companies to smear Trump:

    https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446

     

    Now, let's look at the original indictments for Gates and Manafort as we walk this out more... 

    https://www.justice.gov/file/1007271/download

     

    Manafort and Gates were both unregistered foreign agents working for the Ukraine - including Poreshenko - to smear a pro western former PM Tymoshenko... with the assistance of the Podesta Group and der Zwaan's law firm Skadden. 

     

    What was the former Skadden Lawyer's role in all of this? 

     

    The investigation into whether the Yanukovych-era Ministry of Justice subverted procurement procedures to hire Skadden and then embezzle money to pay the firm was opened before Yanukovych fled the country and heated up after the 2014 revolution. Skadden was hired to produce a report justifying to the U.S. government Yanukovych's jailing of Tymoshenko for her signing a controversial gas deal with Russia in 2009.

     

    The first Mutual Legal Assistance Request was sent to the US in December of 2014 and followed up with two additional requests and four "reminders". Ukrainian reps from the PGO's international legal assistance office visited DC in December 2016 and were stonewalled in their attempts to get answers.  

     

    In March of 2017, CNN published an article saying that Ukrainian prosecutors wanted to question Manafort. The same month, then FBI-Director Comey was asked about the Ukrainian requests during his congressional testimony. Prosecutors wanted to question members of the Skadden team who came to Ukraine to work on the report, including two key former Obama AND Clinton Administration officials:

     

    • Gregory Craig (He was WH counsel for Obama for two years, and also represented Clinton during his impeachment)

    • Clifford Sloan  

     

    Prosecutors also wished to speak to the London-based associate (now charged by Mueller) Alex Van der Zwaan. 

     

    But: "Our requests for depositions were not fulfilled" Gorbatyuk said. However court orders show that Gorbatyuk's team has received access to phone records from Skadden's time in Kyiv, showing their communications with Yanukovych's government and Party of Regions officials. 

     

    Here's the report Skadden compiled which Manafort and the Podesta Group used against Tymoshenko:

    https://minjust.gov.ua/files/general/2012/12/13/201212130000005581.pdf

     

    The Podesta Group and the Mercury Group pushed the anti Tymoshenko narrative in the states while FTI Consulting was hired by Skadden to push the report in Europe. This is a pattern which we will see being repeated with the dossier...  

     

    But before we get there, let's dig deeper into Skadden's political donations and connections through the years:

     

    Prominent partners in the firm backed Kerry in 2004, bundling money for him with a rogues gallery of creeps (Epstein, Weinstein).

    http://www.sptimes.com/2004/08/05/Business/Business_leaders_for_.shtml

     

    Skadden was one of the top law firms to donate in 2012, with %76 of their contributions going to the DNC.

    The candidate they backed in 2015-2016? HRC:

    This is a connection Skadden has been trying to scrub from the interwebs. They've already tended to their own site:

     

    Here's Skadden's website where they've already purged der Zwaan: https://www.skadden.com/professionals/alex-van-der-zwaan

     

    DWfQ4ZJXkAAH4NF.jpg

     

     

    They also scrubbed Craig's page: https://www.skadden.com/professionals/greg-b-craig

     

    And hey, look at this:

    Who's Beneson? 

    https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/?q=Benenson+&mfrom=&mto=&title=&notitle=&date_from=&date_to=&nofrom=&noto=&count=50&sort=6#searchresult

     

    ... Just HRC's chief campaign strategist who was all over the media when Podesta's emails broke claiming that they were not accurate (a claim that's long since been debunked). 


    He also shows up in Grassley's January letter:

    Let's turn to Sloan:

     

    In March of 2008, Cliff Sloan stepped down as publisher of Slate to join Skadden. 

    https://web.archive.org/web/20080724135334/https://www.pr-inside.com/slate-announces-new-publisher-r492456.htm

    DWfj0euWAAA2-Zz.jpg

     

    Sloan was associate WH counsel to WJC before Slate, and in June of 2013 he joined the State Department as an envoy hand picked by Obama and tasked with shutting down Gitmo: 

    https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/06/16/192454904/obama-expected-to-name-top-lawyer-to-close-guantanamo

     

    But in December of 14, Kerry announced Sloan was leaving - a decision that caught the administration off guard but happened only after nearly two dozen Gitmo detainees had been released back into the wild.

    http://www.businessinsider.com/r-us-state-departments-guantanamo-envoy-resigns-2014-12

     

    Sloan was a close confidant to Kerry:

    Hey, then look who shows up in this article helping Buzzfeed!

    None other than the PR firm hired by Podesta Group and Manafort to spread the smear campaign in Europe - FTI:

    http://foreignpolicy.com/2018/02/12/former-senior-fbi-official-is-leading-buzzfeeds-effort-to-verify-trump-dossier/

     

    Then, as I was typing this, I noticed this was breaking - and ties in to this post perfectly: (click on the tweet for more)

     

     

    This is yet ANOTHER repeating pattern we've seen. Mueller, Rosenstein and others in the DOJ were actively prevented from being able to prosecute certain entities during Holder's tenure. Now, it seems Mueller is finishing the work he was unable to perform under Holder. This keeps happening... why? Because Mueller isn't investigating what the MSM and DNC think he's investigating. This indictment is further proof of it. 

     

    There is SO much more here, it's an onion of corruption being exposed, but this should be a good jumping off point for anyone interested in learning more about what's really behind these indictments. 

     

    :beer: 

     

     

    It's amazing how I can turn my TV on and I cannot see ANY of this news anywhere at any time. Of course, FOX will come down on the Dems, but I can't find FOX news. DirecTV hides FOX for some reason.

     

    I have to go online and learn things from non-media types to get the FULL information on what's going on. 

     

    It's truly pathetic how MSM is hiding everything that has EVERYTHING to do with the Dems and the left. Truly pathetic.
