liar-Clinton Greed – “We’re Put On
This Earth To Help Take Care Of Each Other”
by ickwells.us
{ickwells.us} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton is asked by the establishment propagandist Hugh Hewitt if she thought she and President Trump will end up with a friendly relationship... after all is said and done or bitter, invoking her husband and George W Bush as an example. liar-Clinton naturally responds with a lie, saying, “I don’t have any personal stake in this Presidency.” She has the potential of going to prison for the rest of her life, if the DOJ under AG Jeff Sessions decides it wants to do its job. That’s kind of personal. She then goes with her strategic attacks upon the effort to expose her criminality, saying, “I have a citizen’s stake. I have a concerned person’s stake and I am, as you might guess, very much worried by the actions and rhetoric of our current President.”... https://rickwells.us/clinton-values-care-other/.
FBI and Justice Department
Officials Not Able to Verify the Trump Dossier
by KRISTINA WONG
{breitbart.com} ~ FBI and Justice Department officials have told congressional investigators in recent days that they have not been able to verify or corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion... between Russia and the Trump campaign made in the Trump dossier, according to a recent report. The inability to verify any of the dossier’s allegations about collusion or conspiracy came during face-to-face briefings with congressional staff, sources told the Washington Examiner‘s chief political correspondent Byron York. The inability to verify any collusion or conspiracy is significant, since the dossier may have triggered the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign, which has now become the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/11/21/report-fbi-and-justice-department-officials-not-able-to-verify-the-trump-dossier/.
CNN Blackout On House
Democrat Under FBI Investigation
by PETER HASSON
{dailycaller.com} ~ It has been 24 hours since news broke that Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Bob Brady is under FBI investigation for allegedly paying his primary opponent to drop out of the race... but CNN has published zero articles and devoted zero airtime to the story. The FBI was granted a search warrant for Brady’s campaign email, BobCongress@Aol.com, as part of its investigation into payments Brady’s campaign allegedly made to 2012 primary opponent Jimmie Moore. Two of Brady’s political consultants have already been charged in connection with the investigation. A search of CNN’s website shows the news outlet has yet to publish an article acknowledging the investigation into the congressman... http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/22/cnn-blackout-on-house-democrat-under-fbi-investigation/?utm_medium=email.
Following Daily Caller News Foundation
Expose, AG Orders Review Of FBI Gun Database
by RICHARD POLLOCK
{dailycaller.com} ~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday ordered a sweeping review of the FBI database used to check the backgrounds of prospective gun buyers... one week after a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered that convicted felons and other “prohibited persons” could buy guns by lying on their applications. The DCNF found in an exclusive investigative report published Nov. 15 that more than 100,000 people with criminal records or mental disabilities each year lied on their federal gun applications. But throughout eight years in office, the liar-nObama administration prosecuted only 30 to 40 people each year. Sessions directed the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine if other government agencies are failing to report information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the main database for denying guns to criminals, according to CBS News... http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/23/following-daily-caller-news-foundation-expose-ag-orders-review-of-fbi-gun-database/?utm_medium=email.
Tom Steyer’s Impeachment
Push Has Some Dems Running Scared
by JACK CROWE
{dailycaller.com} ~ California financier Tom Steyer’s $20 million ad campaign to impeach President Donald Trump has alienated some of the Democratic leaders... with the influence to make impeachment a reality. Some within the Democratic leadership fear that aggressively pursuing impeachment will only serve to turn Republican and independents against the party and jeopardize their opportunity to flip Congress in 2018. “I’ve been a very harsh critic of this president…. But the impeachment message right now is not helpful to the possibility of retaking the House,” Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, chairman of the fiscally moderate New Democratic Coalition, told The Wall Street Journal... http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/23/tom-steyers-impeachment-push-has-some-dems-running-scared/?utm_medium=email.

How Trump's White House Is
Bucking Republican Senators Over Roy Moore
{weeklystandard.com} ~ A stark divide has emerged between the White House and Senate Republicans on Roy Moore’s ongoing candidacy for the Alabama Senate. President Donald Trump has not formally endorsed Moore, who’s been accused of sexual assault and pursuing inappropriate relationships with teenage girls while in his 30s. But neither has he called for Moore to withdraw from the race or encouraged any kind of write-in campaign in light of allegations that even Ivanka Trump acknowledges are credible and compelling. Update: Trump came as close as one possibly could to an endorsement Tuesday afternoon, telling reporters that, "I can tell you one thing for sure: We don’t need a liberal person in there, a Democrat."
Trump's top surrogates have been dropping unmistakable hints about the president's preference. Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist, has vowed to stick by Moore, despite everything. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, after initially raising concerns about sending an accused predator to Washington, on Monday went on the attack against Moore’s opponent, Doug Jones: “Doug Jones in Alabama, folks, don’t be fooled,” Conway said. “He will be a vote against tax cuts. He is weak on crime. Weak on borders. He is strong on raising your taxes. He is terrible for property owners.”
In the same interview, on Fox & Friends, when asked directly whether her comments were meant to be encouraging a vote for Moore, Conway said: “I’m telling you that we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through.”
Addressing the same question from the White House podium on Monday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: "The president wants people in the House and Senate who support his agenda."
No doubt that the Senate Republicans would also like a senator from Alabama who would support their agenda and vote for tax cuts. But in the wake of the Moore allegations, they also talked about other priorities: such as ethical and moral standards, what is good for the people of Alabama, and what is best for the country. The National Republican Senatorial Committee announced that it would be cutting financial ties with Moore and an internal NRSC poll showing Moore down 12 points to Jones made its way to reporters.
It is worth recalling some of the reasons that the GOP senators cited in their calls for Moore to “step aside”:
Mitch McConnell: "I believe the women . . . I believe he should step aside."
Roy Blunt: "Alabama voters should have a better choice and Judge Moore should have better answers to these charges."
Cory Gardner: “If he refuses to withdraw and wins, the Senate should vote to expel him, because he does not meet the ethical and moral requirements of the United States Senate."
Lindsey Graham: “I believe #RoyMoore would be doing himself, the state, the GOP, and the country a service by stepping aside.”
RINO-Susan Collins: "I have now read Mr. Moore’s statement and listened to his radio interview in which he denies the charges. I did not find his denials to be convincing and believe that he should withdraw from the Senate race in Alabama."
RINO-John McCain: “He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of.”
Rob Portman: “I think if what we read is true, and people are on the record so I assume it is, then he should step aside. I think it’d be best for him, best for the state.”
Ben Sasse: “Roy Moore has no place in public life and ought to drop out immediately. Alabamians should start thinking about who they’ll write in but it’s obvious that conservatives deserve better than this.”
Tom Cotton: “Roy Moore faces specific, credible allegations and he hasn’t offered a specific, credible defense. I haven’t supported him, I don’t support him, and I can’t urge Alabama voters to support him."
Many pundits have pointed out that Trump has no concrete ideology; conservatives tend to view that as a bug, while the president’s die-hard supporters see it as a feature. He’s done little as a candidate or president to demonstrate he has a strong moral sense, either. And while he's thundered about the allegations leveled at Sen. Al Franken, his White House appears to be rooting for a Republican credibly accused of far more serious offenses. Sad.
