{foxnews.com} ~ An investigation referred to Justice Department prosecutors by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller earlier this year into possible criminal activity... by scumbag/liar-Clinton-linked Washington insider Tony Podesta and former scumbag/liar-nObama White House Counsel Greg Craig is heating up, according to a new report that underscores federal authorities' increasing enforcement of laws governing foreign business relationships. The inquiries center not only on Craig and Podesta -- a Democratic lobbyist and co-founder of the onetime lobbying powerhouse known as the Podesta Group -- but also on Vin Weber, a former GOP congressman from Minnesota. The probes had been quiet for months since dirty cop-Mueller referred them to authorities in New York City because they fell outside his mandate of determining whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia. But in a flurry of new activity, Justice Department prosecutors in the last several weeks have begun interviewing witnesses and contacting lawyers to schedule additional questioning related to the Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs, people familiar with the inquiry anonymously told the Associated Press...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mueller-referred-probe-into-clinton-linked-podesta-group-reportedly-kicks-into-high-gear

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ President Trump’s MAGAnomic trade and foreign policy agenda is jaw-dropping in scale, scope and consequence... There are multiple simultaneous aspects to each geopolitical policy objective; however, many have been visible for a long time – some even before the election victory in November ’16. Maria Bartiromo has a view that stems from 30-years of Wall Street economic advocacy. Bartiromo reflects the most common frame of reference for almost all financial punditry. (Orange-Man-Bad-Tariffs) This perspective stems from the era when Wall Street’s economy was sold as the only model possible for the future of the U.S.  In short they were taught that a U.S. manufacturing and production economy was gone, and the only viable economic model was the “service driven economy”. Bullshit! In this interview U.S. Trade Council Director Peter Navarro is affirming policy to the benefit of Main Street not Wall Street. There is an inherent disconnect and conflict. The words from Peter Navarro will come as no surprise to any CTH reader who is fully engaged and reviewing the multi-trillion stakes, within the Globalist Wall St. -vs- Nationalist (Main Street) confrontation...

New Democrat Judiciary Committee Head  scumbag-Jerrold Nadler Vows To End Investigation Into scumbag/liar-nObama's Watergate

{freedomoutpost.com} ~ And in the final act, voter fraud becomes leverage for shutting down one of the worst abuses of power in White House history... The Democrat poised to lead the House Judiciary Committee next year says he has no intention of continuing the GOP-led investigation into FBI and Justice Department (DOJ) decision making during the 2016 election. Rep. scumbag-Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who stepped outside of the ongoing closed-door interview with former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey, told reporters Friday that he plans to end the probe come January. "Yes, because it is a waste of time to start with," scumbag-Nadler said in response to a question about whether he would end the probe. scumbag-Nadler characterized the Republican investigation as a political sideshow that aims to distract from special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign  and Russia. An investigation of Dem eavesdropping on political opponents is a "waste of time", but an investigation of Republicans is always worthwhile. But the election abuses investigation predates any of the dirty cop-Mueller nonsense. So it can't be a distraction. It's the other way around. Turning the scumbag/liar-Clinton-Steele conspiracy theory into the dirty cop-Mueller investigation is a distraction from the abuses of the scumbag/liar-nObama administration... The cover up will be covered up and will we never get to the truth.

Trump comes around on higher defense
spending despite previous calls for cuts: Report

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Rather than cutting Pentagon spending at President Trump's direction, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will instead submit a fiscal 2020 budget proposal higher... than even military planners had originally sought, according to a report. Mattis' proposed budget is set to come in at $750 billion, Politico reported Sunday. That would represent a bump up from an initial $733 billion allocation Mattis and other military brass were hoping to protect. Their concerns came after President Trump tweeted last week that the Pentagon's $716 billion fiscal 2019 budget was "crazy." The boost in proposed funding followed a White House lunch last Tuesday between Trump; Mattis; Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla.; and Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, the respective Republican leaders of the Senate and House armed services committees. The change also comes after Trump in October asked all Cabinet departments to cut their budgets by about 5 percent. In the Defense Department's case, that new top line was set to be $700 billion. Although Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Michael Andrews said Sunday that officials were still "working" with the Office of Management and Budget to confirm a number, a source told Politico that Trump floated announcing the $750 billion benchmark this week as a “negotiating tactic” so congressional Democrats do not push the final allocation below $733 billion. This is because lawmakers would have to agree to lift spending caps placed on DOD before the $750 billion budget could be passed into law. Republicans on Capitol Hill and military heads have been advocating for preserving defense funding, particularly following Trump's 2016 campaign promise to restore the "depleted" U.S. military...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-comes-around-on-higher-defense-spending-despite-previous-calls-for-cuts-report?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_12/09/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

USTR Robert Lighthizer -vs- Margaret Brennan

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ President Trump is the first U.S. President to confront Beijing directly -head on- and the Chinese respect him immensely for it... It is an inherently adversarial relationship; but it is also a conflict where opponents respect their enemy because the outcome is victory or death. Ultimately, this, from the perspective of China, is a zero-sum contest. President Trump is also the first U.S. President to: (1) understand how the red dragon hides behind the panda mask; and (2) be willing to directly confront that dynamic. That’s where U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer comes in. Ambassador Lighthizer is willing to go to the mattresses because he knows that ultimately his kids future, and his bosses’ grand-kids future, are entirely dependent on victory. Freedom or serfdom, those are the alternatives. Yes, this is that big a deal. The biggest of all big deals (pun intended) in the last century. There is also no doubt in my mind that President Trump has a very well thought out long-term strategy regarding China. President Trump takes strategic messaging toward the people of china very importantly. President Trump has, very publicly, complimented the friendship he feels toward President Xi Jinping; and praises Chairman Xi for his character, strength and purposeful leadership. President Trump knows how to play their panda/dragon games...

A Witch Hunt or an Investigation by a Brutal Book?

by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The nation has paused this week from its toxic political battles to remember the kindness and gentleness of President George H.W. Bush. He was kind to scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton, who defeated him in 1992, and to Ross Perot, whose unusual entry into the presidential race that year siphoned conservative voters away from Bush and enabled 
scumbag/liar-Clinton to amass a majority of electoral votes with only 43 percent of the popular vote. The Bush I knew was the post-presidential one, who, by all appearances, harbored no bitterness or sense of defeat.

That was the consistent theme running through nearly all the reminiscences we have heard since he died late last week. Those comments about Bush's character are, of course, being contrasted with the more in-your-face president we have today. To his credit, President Donald Trump has kept a low profile since Bush's death, in all areas but one. He continues to pound away at his view that the investigation of him and his campaign by Department of Justice special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller is a hoax and a witch hunt.

To further that view, the president has dispatched his lawyer Rudolph Giuliani to make essentially two arguments. First is that 
dirty cop-Mueller's work is a solution looking for a problem and that because there has been no crime, we don't need a special counsel to investigate. This is a common refrain from criminal defense lawyers who represent public figures being investigated outside the normal DOJ channels. Giuliani's second argument is that dirty cop-Mueller knows he has discovered no crime and will soon close up his shop.

I am not of the view that 
dirty cop-Mueller is on a fishing expedition or is about to go home. First, he has a few dozen defendants whom he has indicted and needs to try — even though most are Russians indicted for hacking and interfering with the 2016 election campaign and will be tried in absentia.

Second, he keeps acquiring new evidence. Last week, when Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan to lying to Congress about Trump's negotiations with Russian authorities during the 2016 presidential campaign to build Trump Tower Moscow, Cohen claimed he lied so as to further Trump's political message, which has been one of zero relationships with Russian officials during the campaign.

Yet the most important words Cohen uttered were not those stated during his 10-minute guilty plea but those stated to Mueller's FBI agents and prosecutors during the 70 hours that they interrogated him. Whatever he told them and they were able to corroborate, they caused his prison exposure to be reduced from somewhere between 15 and 60 years to six months. Such a reduction requires a substantial quid pro quo. What was it?

The third reason for rejecting the belief that 
dirty cop-Mueller will soon shut down is Mueller's declaration to a federal judge in Washington last week that Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager during the time the Trump campaign had 87 communications with Russians, lied to FBI agents in defiance of his commitment to be truthful to them made during his guilty plea in federal court in September. dirty cop-Mueller will no doubt seek to indict Manafort for each of those lies and then try him — a trial that could not occur until mid-2019.

As if all that were not enough to dispel the Giuliani-fueled myth that 
dirty cop-Mueller will soon end his work, recall that dirty cop-Mueller has repeatedly expressed a desire to interrogate the president in a one-on-one interview or before one of his grand juries. Neither has occurred. dirty cop-Mueller has a toolbox of techniques to bring either of these about, and he has yet to employ the most potent contents.

Rudy Giuliani is a very talented lawyer. He has assumed two roles for his most famous client — as legal strategist and as cheerleader. As a legal strategist, he brings a wealth of experience in federal criminal procedure, but he has no serious experience defending a person accused by the feds — hence his morphing into the cheerleading role, in which he has candidly acknowledged to friends that his goal is not to dissuade the special counsel from pursuing his client but to influence public opinion so that if an indictment or impeachment of Trump were to come down, it would generally be unacceptable to the public.

Yet the more he cheer leads the more he undercuts his reputation in the legal, judicial and law enforcement communities. That's because when he was the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, he excelled at utilizing the most extreme and aggressive prosecutorial techniques that the courts permitted — the very ones he is now attacking 
dirty cop-Mueller for using.

In the 1980s, Giuliani dispatched FBI agents to arrest corporate chieftains with television crews in tow. He burst into courtrooms, interrupting trials, to serve lawyers with subpoenas while they were trying other cases. He even wired a 10-year-old girl with a tape recorder and tutored her to entrap her mother in a drug case. He once arrested every person who was in New York's Washington Square Park on a weekday afternoon during a drug sweep — innocent and guilty alike. He got away with it.

Federal criminal prosecution is not beanbag. The courts have ruled many times that prosecutors, FBI agents and police may lie, cheat, threaten, intimidate, coerce and deceive to extract cooperation and obtain evidence from witnesses. This is the dark side of the criminal justice system. It requires a strong stomach. It can be used against even the president.

Yet those untried absent Russians — the ones scooped up in 
dirty cop-Mueller's witch hunt — were punished without trial. They were barred from using U.S. financial institutions by President Trump in retaliation for their alleged interference in the 2016 election. A witch hunt for me, but not for thee.
