President Trump Discusses His Decision 
Not to Declassify “Spygate” Documents

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ The New York Post has an article today, surrounding an interview with President Trump, where the topic of declassifying the evidence behind ‘Spygate’ surfaced... To say there is a massive schism amid supporters of the President on this issue would be an understatement.  On one hand the declassification would potentially, and finally, outline the scale of the FBI/DOJ politicization and weaponization of intelligence against the President – exposing the entire ‘spygate’ scandal in all its glory.  On the other hand that potential is also seen as political leverage against the schemes of DC and all the characters. From the CTH perspective this interview essentially solidifies something we have been outlining for several months: President Trump is applying the consideration of leverage to his decision-making. Many have refused to accept “leverage” was part of President Trump’s primary determination and decision-making. CTH has been heavily criticized for even presenting such analysis. Hopefully, this interview puts an end to those criticisms. Leverage is the primary filter here; and it’s not just leverage against domestic political enemies...

{dailycaller.com} ~ Two longtime political operatives and associates of President Donald Trump are offering conflicting accounts... about what they both knew during the 2016 campaign about WikiLeaks and the group’s plans to release the emails of scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. Jerome Corsi wrote in his upcoming book, “Silent No More,” that he made three key allegations in his testimony before special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s grand jury that could pose legal problems for Roger Stone, a longtime Trump confidant. Corsi claims: He told Stone in August 2016 that WikiLeaks had possession of Podesta’s emails. He worked with Stone to create a cover story for an Aug. 21, 2016 tweet in which he wrote that “it will soon be the Podesta’s time in the barrel.” Stone caught wind of the forthcoming release of an “Access Hollywood” tape that showed Trump speaking crudely about women and asked Corsi to contact WikiLeaks to instruct the group to begin releasing the Podesta emails. Stone disputes all three scenarios, telling The Daily Caller News Foundation that Corsi is mistaken at best or lying at worst. He’s provided TheDCNF with text messages and emails that he says provide context showing that Corsi’s testimony is “illogical” and “inaccurate.”...

Hucksters Are Abusing U.S. Asylum Law, 
And Congress Needs To Stop Them

{thefederalist.com} ~ The crisis at our southern borders with Mexico brought attention to a legal immigration pathway that has been flying under the radar... and thus rife with fraud and abuse for a long time: asylum. I talked about this on Fox News this week — see the clip below.  The legal definition for asylum is someone “who is already in the U.S. who has been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion.” As my colleague John D. Davidson points out in a recent article, the vast majority of the current Central American caravan do not qualify for asylum based on this legal definition. This is a known fact, yet they intend to do it anyway. Overall, applications for asylum have surged in recent years. What gives? First, even though the legal definitions of refugees and asylum seekers are pretty much the same, the United States only admits refugees who are currently outside the United States and referred by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Yet any foreigner who is inside the United States can claim to be an asylum seeker...  http://thefederalist.com/2018/11/29/hucksters-abusing-u-s-asylum-law-congress-needs-stop/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=326c0ba412-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-326c0ba412-83771801

The Guardian’s Manafort Story Looks Like An 
Effort To Create Trump Collusion Narrative Three

{thefederalist.com} ~ On Tuesday The Guardian ran an exclusive claiming that “Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort held secret talks with Julian Assange... inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and visited around the time he joined Trump’s campaign.” According to The Guardian, Manafort met with the WikiLeaks’ founder at the embassy three times—in 2013, 2015, and in spring 2016. While acknowledging that the purpose of the claimed meeting is unknown, The Guardian implies Manafort’s supposed March 2016 secret rendezvous concerned WikiLeaks’ role in releasing the hacked Democratic National Committee emails. “The revelation could shed new light on the sequence of events in the run-up to summer 2016, when WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of emails hacked by the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency,” The Guardian wrote. The Guardian story pointed to the discredited dossier crafted by Christopher Steele, quoting the former British spy’s claims that Manafort served as the linchpin of a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” between the Trump campaign and Russia, and that “the hacking operation had been conducted with the full knowledge and support of Trump and senior members of his campaign team.” The Guardian also relied on two unnamed sources and an internal document purportedly written by Ecuador’s intelligence agency. But, as the article acknowledged, embassy security guards did not record Manafort’s supposed visit, as is the practice for all guests entering the embassy...

Why LAUSD’s improved graduation 
rates may be a sham

{latimes.com} ~ California’s steady rise in high school graduation rates has been a highly visible and well-publicized education success story... As Tom Torlakson, the state superintendent of public instruction, put it proudly a year ago: California’s “graduation rates have gone up seven years in a row.” But much of that progress, supposedly enough to cut the percentage of students not graduating from high school by more than a third, could be a sham. That’s because of the less visible, and poorly publicized, numbers of California students who graduate by taking “credit recovery” courses — makeup classes that let students who fail in a subject get back on track to graduate. I analyzed the first-available national data on participation in these programs, which show that in 2016, California’s participation was far above the national average, with 1 in 10 high school students taking at least one credit recovery class. The data are not divided by grade level, but because most students take these makeup classes in the run-up to graduation, participation is probably closer to 1 in 5 12th-graders. Unfortunately, many of those students will get passing grades for paltry amounts of effort. Credit recovery courses vary from district to district, and school to school. They can include traditional summer school, but today most programs are offered online or in “blended” formats that combine online work and teacher support. In the most suspect cases, districts adopt an “anything goes” approach, giving rigor short shrift so long as graduation rates keep rising...

Another MSM 'Bombshell' on Trump/Russia Collusion Falls Apart
NEygOwt4q_Aj77SQDCrHVZEJlsynIOxoOEhPA-yiN3FyykGTXtbLJvlNBtFOtdAgUlzgTVAklITTPld5GbvnX1aDWI5-M18iwkEa3fEdXGJxKwU5vykZ6D4xA0c0RBfNeg5M6Wh_GiACNw_R-Hnij35XHlMIw6etRQrLKzM=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Thomas Gallatin:  On Tuesday, dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation made a surprising announcement — it was pulling out of its agreed plea deal with Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager. The dirty cop-Mueller team’s court filing gave the reason: “After signing the plea agreement, Manafort committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement.” For his part, Manafort denied the allegation, saying through his legal team that “he believes he has provided truthful information and does not agree with the government’s characterization or that he has breached the agreement.”

             Despite Leftmedia spin, the news is a blow to the Trump/Russia collusion narrative. Lacking evidence to support the collusion charge, dirty cop-Mueller seemingly needs someone connected to both the Trump campaign and the Russians who is willing to testify to the allegation. dirty cop-Mueller may have determined Manafort is not that man.
               However, like clockwork, as soon as another piece of the vacuous collusion narrative begins to fall apart, the mainstream media runs to the rescue by peddling the latest dubiously sourced “bombshell” report. This time it came from The Guardian, which reported that “unnamed sources” claimed Manafort held “secret talks” with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in the spring of 2016 — mere months before the organization released the hacked emails of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta. Boom! The collusion evidence we’ve long been waiting for!
               Except for one huge problem: Both Manafort and Assange vehemently denied the story, which has no visitation records or corroborating evidence to support the assertion that any meetings between the two ever took place. And it’s not likely that Manafort could have easily avoided the 24/7 surveillance that Assange has been under ever since he first holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London back in 2012. Humorously, following Assange’s threat to pursue “all legal options against the Guardian” for its “totally false and deliberately libelous” story, the news agency started to soften and walk back its more damning assertions.
               So, once again in the era of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the MSM rushes to uncritically publish any story that promotes a negative story against Trump — especially when it’s directly related to the Left’s favorite narrative: Trump/Russia collusion. No need to waste time on checking facts or sourcing evidence. So long as there are unnamed sources, every bit of hearsay will be published as if it were the gospel truth. And media pundits wonder why the vast majority of people have so little trust in the MSM.  ~The Patriot Post
