{ freedomoutpost.com } ~ Devin Nunes,  the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,  isn’t all that happy with deep state puppet hanoi-John Kerry meddling in foreign policy... Nunes has now called for the arrest of hanoi-Kerry on charges of treason. According to US law, laws these same politicians write with no attempt to obey no private citizen may meet with a foreign power to negotiate a deal. Since hanoi-Kerry was working directly against US policy and is and trying to sabotage the elected government the charge of treason would apply, according to Steadfast and Loyal.  Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) made his demand to imprison the former Massachusetts Democrat under the Logan Act, which could theoretically result in three years in federal prison. The allegations followed a new Boston Globe report on former Secretary of State hanoi-Kerry is quietly working with to save the Iran nuclear deal which he helped draft...Nothing will happy unless the IG acts upon it.

Comey violated FBI's own rulebook 
by using Trump campaign 'spy': Expert

{ washingtontimes.com } ~ The FBI’s own guidelines restrict the deployment of informants to spy on Americans... such as the bureau’s decision to plant a human source among Donald Trump’s presidential campaign aides. The cautionary regulation is contained in the FBI’s nearly 700-page Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide. The restrictions are prompting national security analysts to say the FBI should have heeded its own rulebook, which encourages alternatives to human spies in any investigation, much less one into a presidential political campaign. The FBI should have focused, they say, on Russian agents who were meddling in the election by hacking computers and by spewing false information on social media. Instead, the bureau, during President liar-nObama’s administration, took the momentous step of recruiting a national security academic, Stefan Halper, to spy on Trump  associates by striking up what seemed to be innocent professional contacts...   https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/30/fbi-guidelines-stefan-halper-shouldnt-be-used-spy-/

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ Within minutes of comments made by Saudi Arabia’s oil minister on Friday... crude oil prices for present and future delivery  dropped like a stone. By the end of trading on Tuesday, crude oil had lost more than six percent of its value, ending just above $65 a barrel, down from over $70. What spooked the markets were these comments from energy minister Khalid Al-Falih, made during a panel discussion on energy on Friday: It is the intent of all producers members of the OPEC cartel and another 10 non-members who are supporting OPEC at the moment to ensure that the oil market remains healthy, and if that means adjusting our policy in June, we are certainly prepared to do it...   https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/energy/item/29164-latest-drop-in-oil-prices-puts-opec-in-a-bind

Clapper: No ‘Smoking Gun’ Evidence Of Collusion

{ dailycaller.com } ~ James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence, said he has not seen “smoking gun” or “direct” evidence... of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. “I saw no smoking-gun evidence of collusion before I left the government, and I still haven’t,” Clapper told Vox in an interview Thursday to promote his new book, “Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence.” “There is a lot of circumstantial evidence and reasons to be suspicious, but no smoking gun as of yet.” Clapper did say he was interested in the number of contacts between members of the Trump campaign and people linked to the Russian government. He wrote in “Facts and Fears” that “the dashboard warning lights were all lit.”...

Gowdy and Rubio Affirm 'Crossfire Hurricane' Justification 

rh78_G4Q6zBdtynGpLVFvDuJQzrvvTERbOxwbkE_h9xZGZGltMV0BBWcUczClLE0ivUYf6hQ642_qzWlQ4Z2EB7BVMiSBDtR-4bmd3d187waal1kSSGkL4etynCvIQ57U1hdMfgfw8CwDE2NQfGjmiLah1nRni-5R2wL0GAl1CY=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Mark Alexander:  My most recent column, “The Trump Investigation: Origins and Motives,” was devoted to a series of forensic analysis essays about the Trump/Putin collusion charade and how Barack liar-nObama and liar-Hillary Clinton conspired, with the help of a few key FBI and CIA friends in high places, to set up Donald Trump for a takedown.

             That forensic analysis was written by National Review’s Andrew McCarthy, whose perspective on this matter I trust given his considerable record as a former assistant U.S. attorney.
               There is another astute former assistant U.S. attorney whose perspective I also trust implicitly. That would be Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and was the former chair of the House Benghazi Committee. In his former capacity, he exposed  liar- Hillary Clinton’s corrupt coverup of the Benghazi attack, which she fabricated to protect Barack liar-nObama’s successful 2012 reelection bid. liar-nObama suppressed any further investigation into that disgraceful coverup in order to, in turn, protect Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid.
               Currently, as chair of the House Oversight Committee, Gowdy has doggedly pursued corruption at the highest levels of the Department of Justice. That includes how a handful of liar-nObama/ liar-Clinton supporters in the FBI and CIA — most notably former CIA Director John Brennan the Deep State boss who’s at the root of the Trump collusion setup, and former FBI Director James Comey, who, with a few other key FBI personnel — manufactured the Trump/Putin investigation in order to undermine Trump’s candidacy and then his unexpected election.
               On Wednesday, after reviewing some of the FBI’s records regarding “Crossfire Hurricane,” the counterintelligence investigation into whether some Russian operatives were attempting to gain influence with several individuals with loose ties to the Trump campaign, Gowdy offered his assessment of that operation.
               Regarding the justification, Gowdy concluded: “I don’t know what the FBI could have done or should have done other than run out a lead that someone loosely connected with the campaign was making assertions about Russia. I think you would want the FBI to find whether or not there was any validity to what those people were saying. … Think back to what the president himself told James Comey. He said, ‘I didn’t collude with Russia, but if anyone connected with my campaign did, I want you to investigate it.’ It strikes me that that’s exactly what the FBI was doing. I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.”
               Gowdy added, “Marco Rubio and others [like] Tom Cotton on the SSI [Senate Select Committee on Intelligence], the folks who have seen the information, I think, have the same perspective I have.”
               Indeed, according to Rubio, “What I have seen is evidence that [the FBI agents] were investigating individuals with a history of links to Russia. … Individuals … who we should be suspicious of that predate the presidential campaign. And when individuals like that are in the orbit of a major political campaign in America, the FBI, who is in charge of counterintelligence investigations, should look at people like that.”
               As I have noted repeatedly regarding Op “Crossfire Hurricane,” “For certain, Russian efforts to undermine the integrity of U.S. elections should be thoroughly investigated — as has been the case in the past.”
               But I also previously noted, “The FBI should have contacted the Trump campaign directly to help determine if the Russians were seeking to influence that campaign, but there was already a fabricated presumption of colluding guilt” by several of Comey’s key senior FBI personnel, and any findings from “Crossfire Hurricane” that these connections did exist would fit nicely into their narrative.
               Predictably, some Democrats and their dependable  Leftmedia PR outlets are intentionally conflating the comments from Gowdy and Rubio as an exoneration of the overall corruption investigation regarding how Comey and a few of his key investigative managers within the FBI collaborated with liar-Clinton campaign officials to frame Trump on the Russia collusion delusion.
               But what Gowdy and Rubio said in no way exonerates that larger investigation into a few corrupt managers within the FBI.
               According to Gowdy: “I think there are two things important to understand. Number one, the source of President Trump’s frustration. [Former CIA Director John] Brennan said he should be in the dust bin of history. [Former FBI Director James] Comey said impeachment’s too good of a remedy. [Former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper doesn’t like him. [Former Attorney General] Loretta lynch said, ‘Call it a matter, not an investigation.’ [Ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee scum-Adam] Schiff said he had evidence of collusion before we even began the investigation, and 60 Democrats have voted to impeach him before Bob Mueller has come up with a single, solitary finding.”
               The question is not about whether FBI counterintelligence agents did what they were reasonably tasked to do but about the motivations of Comey and his crew regarding this investigation.
               To that end, Gowdy posits the salient questions to be answered about “Crossfire Hurricane”: “What did the FBI do? When did they do it? What was the factual predicate upon which they took whatever actions they took and against whom were they directed?
               Footnote: Regarding President Trump’s blustering social media posts about corruption at the highest levels of the FBI, he should make sure those posts don’t cast the entire FBI as corrupt. As I have noted repeatedly, “The corruption of FBI leadership and some high-level bureaucrats has cast a long shadow on all of the 12,484 special agents and 2,950 intelligence analysts in the FBI. But most men and women in the FBI, much as in the CIA, steadfastly abide by their oaths ‘to support and defend’ our Constitution, not their preferential candidate, and they serve our nation likewise. They live up to the FBI motto: Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.”   ~The Patriot Pos
