Rosenstein Asks Judge To Block Manafort
Suit For DOJ-Mueller Overreach, Abuse of Power
{ rickwells.us } ~ Rod Rosenstein, the corrupt shill for the Democrats, has effectively taken over the Department of Justice... filling the void left by Jeff Sessions’ abdication by recusal. When DOJ attorneys act, they do so at his direction and with his approval. They follow his agenda, regardless of how anti-American, subersive or treasonous the motivations may be. With these corrupt officials in power, a DOJ lawsuit is often a matter of personal profiteering, power acquisition, protection or aggression, as with the Mueller witch hunt. Rosenstein is also, as was reinforced by the Nunes memo, one of the corrupt anti-Trump deep state operatives working to overthrow President Trump. The obstructionist Rosenstein is now attempting to help cover his and his cronies’ own criminal wrongdoing and abuse of power by seeking to block one of their targets from suing, from seeking relief from their government tyranny. Rosenstein, who acted criminally in deceiving a judge on a FISA warrant extension, is now asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, against Rosenstein’s buddy and Chief Trump Inquisitor, Robert Mueller... https://rickwells.us/rosenstein-judge-block-manafort/ .
Gowdy Attacks Dems For Focusing On
Whats Not The Memo Instead Of What Is
by JACK CROWE
GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina dismissed Democrats’ criticisms of the recently released Republican memo... detailing surveillance abuse within the FBI and Department of Justice, during an interview Sunday on “Face The Nation.” “I get that scum-Adam Schiff and others are worried about what’s not in my memo,” Gowdy said on “Face The Nation.” “I wish that they were equally concerned about what’s not in the FISA application” Gowdy, who recently announced he will forego another term in favor of entering the private sector, downplayed the concerns of the FBI and Democratic lawmakers; namely that the memo – compiled by House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes – might compromise intelligence methods and sources... http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/04/gowdy-nunes-fisa-memo/?utm_medium=email.
Reince Priebus Recounts White House
Conversation With Andrew McCabe
by CHUCK ROSS
Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus gave new details on Sunday about a conversation that he had... last February with then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe at the White House. In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Priebus said that McCabe walked into his office on Feb. 14, shut the door, and told him point-blank that a New York Times report about alleged contacts between Trump campaign aides and Russian intelligence was “BS.” That meeting has been the source of allegations that Priebus pressured McCabe to publicly knock down the report of repeated contacts with Russians... http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/04/reince-priebus-andrew-mccabe-russia/?utm_medium=emailFISA Court Judge James Boasberg
Rules Comey Memos Will Remain Secret
by BRENT D. GRIFFITHS
{ politico.com } ~ A federal judge has rejected requests from news organizations to release memos of former FBI Director James Comey's conversations... with President Donald Trump, adding that publicizing the documents could harm special counsel Robert Mueller's probe. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Friday sided with the Department of Justice after multiple news organizations, including CNN and USA Today, sued for the public release of Comey's memos after their Freedom of Information Act requests were denied. Boasberg agreed with DOJ's contention that releasing any section of any of the memos, which detail nine conversations the then-FBI director had with Trump, could "could reveal sensitive nonpublic information and compromise the investigation."... https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/03/comey-memos-trump-judge-foia-389080?platform=hootsuite .
Andrew McCabe Under Investigation
for Sandbagging liar-Clinton Inquiry
{ restoreamericanglory.com } ~ We’re only now heading into the second month of 2018, and the liberal media has already been caught propagating... one of their biggest fake news stories in quite some time. When FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was asked to leave the Bureau this week, the media was certain that we were looking at Comey Firing Part II. Here goes the renegade president again, firing everyone who might have a chance of connecting his campaign to Russian government officials. Trump, the Obstructer. Hide your children! As it turns out, though, their boy McCabe – praised all around the liberal media circus as a by-the-book, unblemished veteran of the FBI – might just be the biased creep that conservatives have been warning the country about for more than a year. The Washington Post broke the story on Tuesday, reporting that McCabe has been under investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general for months... http://www.restoreamericanglory.com/breaking-news/andrew-mccabe-under-investigation-for-sandbagging-clinton-inquiry/ .

U.S. Awash in Oil Production
by Jordan Candler: A few years ago the Mercatus Center published a shortlist of “The 10 Most-Regulated Industries of 2014.” At the top of the list stood petroleum and coal products manufacturing. Also included on the index was oil and gas extraction. As the authors pointed out, “Heavy regulation reduces entrepreneurship and employment opportunities and can divert investment from the most productive uses.” Well, today we have a great example of what can happen when lawmakers blow the cap off unnecessary regulations and allow innovation to mold the market. This week the Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced a monolithic number — 10 million. That’s the current number of oil-brimmed barrels that the U.S. produces each and every day. It’s been nearly five decades — 1970 — since U.S. production reached this magnitude. According to the EIA, “U.S. crude oil production has increased significantly over the past 10 years, driven mainly by production from tighter rock formations including shale and other fine-grained rock using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to improve efficiency.”
Drilling has long been criticized by leftists, both because of its alleged detrimental effects on the environment and its supposed lack of sustainability. The evidence puts both of these narratives to rest. For starters, carbon dioxide emissions here in the states aren’t rising. That’s largely thanks to the boom in natural gas that’s being derived from fracking — another extraction procedure the Left despises. Secondly, for decades leftists have said that oil extraction can’t be maintained. Yet exploration and innovation keep proving them wrong.
All of this benefits the economy big time. U.S. imports have fallen from 12.9 million barrels a day in 2006 to just 2.5 million now. And as The Wall Street Journal notes, “This translates into greater energy security as the U.S. is less dependent on foreign oil sources.” That’s because the ban on oil exports was finally rendered null and void in 2015. As of November, 1.5 million barrels were being shipped out of the U.S. every day. So not only has innovation spurred a production bonanza, but that production is now free to be marketed outside the U.S.
Importantly, this trend is also sustainable. How so? The Journal explains: “Also striking is how quickly the oil and gas industry has recovered from the oil price plunge of 2015-2016. Previous price declines led to multiple bankruptcies and bank failures. This time drillers adapted quickly, took the rig count down fast, and cut costs. America’s flexible private capital markets helped the companies ride out the price trough, and now producers, investors and lenders are reaping the benefits of the oil price rebound to $69 a barrel.” In other words, companies now have a better idea of how to navigate fluctuating prices. This makes it harder for outside forces to trap American oil producers. Of course, that’s all assuming regulators keep their hands off this booming market.
