200 Days – Where Are Rosenstein’s Scope
Memos to Robert Mueller? – Or is One Impeachment a Small Price to Pay
to Preserve the Institutions?
by sundance
{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ On May 23rd, 2019, President Donald Trump gave U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr full authority to review and release all of the classified material hidden by the DOJ, FBI, State Department, CIA, FISA Court, and aggregate intelligence apparatus: 200 days ago... It has been 200 days since President Trump empowered AG Bill Barr to release the original authorizing framework of the Mueller investigation which began on May 17, 2017. A Mueller investigation that concluded nine months ago, and yet we are not allowed to know what the authorizing 2017 framework was?…. Nor the 2nd DOJ scope memo of August 2nd, 2017?… Nor the 3rd DOJ scope memo of October 20th, 2017?….The released Weissmann/Mueller report showed after the origination authorization in May 2017 there were two additional scope memos authorizing specific targeting of the Mueller probe. The second scope memo was August 2nd, 2017, and is an important part of the puzzle that helps explain the corrupt original purpose of the special counsel. Generally, the second scope memo Aug ’17 authorized Robert Mueller to investigate the claims within the Steele Dossier. The second scope memo came a month after the third renewal of the Carter Page FISA warrant. We now know that FISA warrant was renewed using falsified documents by FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. That means special counsel team requested the second expanded scope memo from Rosenstein in August after the DOJ was aware Kevin Clinesmith held political bias, and he along with four members of the original Crossfire Hurricane team were removed. (K Clinesmith, P Strzok, L Page, S Moyer and unknown). The third scope memo was issued by Rod Rosenstein to Robert Mueller on October 20th, 2017. The transparent intent of the third expanded scope memo was to provide Weissmann and Mueller with ammunition and authority to investigate specific targets, for specific purposes....
Did U.S. Attorney John Durham Interview Patrick Byrne? – If So, How Does DOJ/FBI Reconcile Running Russian Operative Into
Trump Campaign in 2015?
by sundance
{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ During his short-lived media appearances former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne claims he had spoken to the DOJ April 5th, 2019, and again April 30th, 2019... Mr. Byrne stated he told the DOJ all of the information he was aware of during those two interviews covering approximately seven hours of questioning from officials in the Department of Justice. During interviews Mr. Byrne highlighted the May 13th DOJ appointment of John Durham to look into the origination of the Russia investigation events. Byrne surmised this was likely, at least in part, a direct result of his two DOJ sessions April 5th and 30th, 2019. Ms. Maria Butina, a young Russian idealist, was caught up in the 2016 vast Russian conspiracy agenda and had strong connections to high powered Russian oligarchs. Originally the purpose of Butina coming to the U.S. in 2015, as explained by Patrick Byrne, was for her to engage with influential Americans for political contacts that could provide geopolitical value to the oligarchs. Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne was seen as important to Ms. Butina due to his connections to the emerging financial structures of crypto-currency and block-chain. Mr. Byrne is a libertarian who believes in small government, and is somewhat of a disruptor in the business world. Ms. Butina wanted to introduce Byrne to her friends in Russia... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/11/28/did-u-s-attorney-john-durham-interview-patrick-byrne-if-so-how-does-doj-fbi-reconcile-running-russian-operative-into-trump-campaign-in-2015/ .
France Seeks to Fill Void
in Middle East Left by U.S.
by Seth Frantzman
{ meforum.org } ~ France laid out a new posture for itself in discussions in the Gulf this week, chiding the Americans for not standing up to Iran's threats against Saudi Arabia and other countries... Paris now wants to play a more robust role in maritime security as Washington's influence declines across the region. French Defense Minister Florence Parly condemned America for leaving the Iran deal and also condemned Iran at the Manama Dialogue confab in Bahrain over the weekend. The conference is organized by the International Institute of Strategic Studies and has foreign ministers and leaders from the region, as well as security and defense officials, in attendance. "We've seen deliberate, gradual US disengagement," she said. She also slammed former president Barack scumbag/liar-nObama for leaving the "fighter jets on the tarmac," according to France24, a reference to the US decision in 2013 not to punish Bashar Assad's regime in Syria for chemical weapons attacks. The French conjured up bad memories from 2013 when, according to Le Nouvel Observateur, then-French president Francois Hollande had prepared Rafale jets and SCALP cruise missiles to punish Assad. Targets included the Fourth Armored Division, and missiles and commander centers. But the US decided to back down and the planes didn't fly. The US, UK and France carried out airstrikes in 2017 and 2018 against Syria, but they were much smaller and less consequential than what might have occurred in 2013....

Millennials Are Fleeing Cities
For Refuge From Democrats’ Disasters
By Tirzah Duren
{ thefederalist.com } ~ For twenty-somethings leaving a small town for the big city, the feeling of liberation and possibility can be exhilarating. Mom and dad, and their rules, are finally in the rearview mirror... But what’s up ahead is often worse—the welcoming arms of an even stricter authority known as leftist city government. Many millennials are discovering this the hard way and making a U-turn. New Census Bureau data shows millennials are increasingly trading in urban life for the suburbs and even switching states entirely. My home city of Philadelphia is a prime example. Here, 60,000 residents leave per year, and half of them are 18 to 34 years old. The reason? Urban centers like Philadelphia are bent on destroying the very conveniences that drew millennials to the city in the first place. Here, the combined effect of sky-high taxes and outdated regulations add up to an all-out war on millennials. Or at least a war on the things they love the most. Brunch, for example. In Pennsylvania, where I live, the number of available liquor licenses is restricted by our state liquor monopoly. These restrictions and the fact that licenses are sold at auction seriously! make selling booze way too expensive for business owners. It can cost more than $100,000 to simply obtain the license to sell a mimosa. The restaurateurs who either can’t get a license or can’t afford one are forced to offer the would-be boozy brunchers a BYOB policy. Okay, Boomer. You’re trying to sell this as a hip “Philly Phenomenon”? We’re not falling for it. The war on brunch doesn’t end there. The state has free rein to mark up the price of alcohol, which it does constantly: average markups are 65 percent. Of course, the war on brunch is just one example of government overreach that has millennials fleeing cities....
GOP Senators Demand Info On
Democrat Conspirator Alexandra Chalupa
by restoreamericanglory.com ~ The Democrats and their faithful dictation-keepers in the media want us to believe that any mention of Ukraine’s involvement in the 2016 election is a conspiracy theory cooked up by fevered Trump supporters and evil Russian propagandists... But no matter how hard they try to deny it, the fact remains that there are contemporary, left-wing media news reports that indicate that representatives from the Democratic National Committee worked with the Ukrainians to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump. And one person, in particular, was responsible for carrying out that mission. So it is that the spotlight has turned on former DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa and her efforts to get dirt on Trump from the Ukrainians in 2016. This week, Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson demanded that the Senate be given more information about Chalupa’s activities during the election. According to the right-wingers over at…oh, Politico…Chalupa met with a Ukrainian embassy official in 2016 to get information that could be damaging to the Trump campaign. “Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country,” reporter Ken Vogel wrote at Politico on January 1, 2017. “Ukrainian government officials tried to help scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped scumbag/liar-Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found. ”The woman in charge of all of this digging was Chalupa, herself a Ukrainian-American with deep ties in the region. Politico has since divorced itself from its own reporting, as inconvenient as it is to today’s narrative. But their waffling doesn’t change the fact that, back in the early days of 2017, it was accepted as fact that the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign and the DNC which were basically a single entity during the election worked with the Ukrainians in an attempt to discredit Trump. You know…the exact thing that we spent $35 million and two years investigating Trump for supposedly doing with the Russians. “If this reporting is accurate, it appears that the DOJ and FBI have in their possession material relevant to our Committees’ ongoing investigation into collusive actions Chalupa and the DNC took to use foreign government sources to undermine the Trump campaign during the 2016 election,” Grassley and Johnson wrote in a letter to the Justice Department. Last week, Politico wrote in an article that “no evidence has emerged” to support the idea that Ukraine was working with the scumbag/liar-Clintons against Trump in 2016. The left is trying very, very hard to stuff all of this into the memory hole..

Bloomberg 'News' Propagandists
Thomas Gallatin: It’s no secret that the mainstream media leans heavily to the left — a reality that has been even more fully exposed since President Donald Trump won the election. Still, the MSM continues to almost comically feign political independence and objectivity. See, for example, CNN’s hard-leftist host Don Lemon laughably claiming to be an independent. Well, now Bloomberg News has decided to go ahead and pull off its mask of “independent journalism.”
In an internal memo, Bloomberg News Chief Editor John Micklethwait explained that following the entry of the company’s billionaire owner, Michael Bloomberg, into the 2020 Democrat primary, the news outlet would cease doing any investigative journalism into the current crop of Democrat candidates, including Mr. Bloomberg himself. “We will continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his family and foundation) and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the Democratic primaries,” Micklethwait wrote. And will the same courtesy be afforded to Trump? Of course not, as Micklethwait lamely contends that Bloomberg will continue to investigate Trump because his is “the government of the day.” Furthermore, several current members of Bloomberg News’ editorial team will be moved over to Mr. Bloomberg’s 2020 campaign.
Former Bloomberg BusinessWeek editor Megan Murphy blasted the decision, pointedly noting, “This is not journalism.” Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell wondered, “Bloomberg ‘News’ declares it will not investigate Bloomberg or his fellow Democrats, but WILL investigate Trump. If that isn’t a massively illegal in-kind campaign contribution, what is?” And David Martosko, political editor for The Daily Mail, insightfully postulated, “I predict Trump rallies will include this: ‘Is there a Bloomberg reporter back there in the fake news section? They fly on Air Force One every day and chase me around but Little Mike won’t let them investigate ANY Democrats. It’s crooked as hell.’”
In one sense Bloomberg “News” is doing Americans a service. The activists at the outlet just let everyone know that they are not objective reporters but are Democrat Party propagandists. But it’s also worth noting that this is no great deviation from the rest of the media. It’s not as if other Leftmedia outlets are doing anything different from Bloomberg News. They’re just not saying so. ~The Patriot Post
