Dems' rebuttal to GOP FISA memo is released; Trump deems it a 'bust'
By Adam Shaw | Fox News

President Trump on Saturday dismissed a Democratic rebuttal to the GOP memo outlining government surveillance abuses in the 2016 campaign as a “total political and legal bust," claiming that it only confirms the ”terrible things” that were done by the nation’s intelligence agencies.

The rebuttal, written by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, concluded that officials at the FBI and Justice Department “did not abuse the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process, omit material information or subvert this vital tool to spy on the Trump campaign.”

Democrats sought to counter claims made in a Republican memo released this month that the FBI and DOJ relied on a Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier to ask the FISA court for a warrant to monitor Trump adviser Carter Page. Democrats have claimed that the Republican memo leaves out important information.

But Trump was unimpressed by the 10-page memo.

Mueller subpoenas witness for documents tied to Trump, campaign associates: reports
By Julia Manchester | The Hill | March 4, 2018, 11:13PM ET


Special counsel Robert Mueller has requested various documents tied to President Trump and a number of his associates, according to multiple reports.

Mueller has subpoenaed a witness for all communications between that person and a number of people, including Trump, with the requested documents including emails, work documents, text messages, telephone logs and other records spanning back to November of 2015, NBC News reported.

Mueller wants communications between the witness and Hope Hicks, Stephen Bannon, Roger Stone, Carter Page, Michael Cohen, Keith Schiller, Rick Gates, Corey Lewandowski and Paul Manafort, according to Axios, which first reported on the subpoena.

IF there is ever an OIG report released it may well be at this link

Remeber... despite what "some people" say it's ... OIG Clinton email case review

Here are the documents regarding the start..

Review of Allegations Regarding Various Actions by the Department of Justice and the FBI in Advance of the 2016 Election
The OIG, in response to Congressional and other requests, is reviewing allegations regarding various actions by the Department and the FBI in advance of the 2016 election. The review will examine whether the Department and the FBI followed policies or procedures in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, and whether certain underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations. The review also will examine allegations that the FBI Deputy Director should have been recused from participating in certain investigative matters, that the Department’s Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs improperly disclosed non-public information and/or should have been recused from participating in certain matters, that other Department and FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information, and that decisions regarding the timing of the FBI’s release of certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents on October 30 and November 1, 2016, and the use of a Twitter account to publicize this release, were influenced by improper considerations. The review will not substitute the OIG's judgment for the judgments made by the FBI or the Department regarding the substantive merits of investigative or prosecutive decisions. If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review.

Jay Sekulow has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT take on what Sleepy Jeff said to Shannon Bream

Funny that..... Tricky sort of cove... old Johnny Human perception :roll

CONFIRMATION BIAS effects what we perceive.

Jay Sekulow (who is smarter than your average blogger) took Sleepy Jeff's words to indicate he is looking to appoint a Second Special Counsel... Jeff's "guy outside Washington" is an appointment just to "look into" whether a Special prosecutor is needed... and what "Process" is needed to get one appointed. :95


Jay Sekulow live 3/8/2018- BREAKING AG Seeking Second Special Counsel for FISA Abuses



I have to say .. I have GONE OFF Jay Sekulow. I had to stop watching this video (I might try and listen some more later). He and his gang are so wrapped up in the "process"... and they are fine with it taking so long.... reports on reports.. to review whether another report is needed on who should do the next report... etc... etc ... etc :wall

----
I don't think Jay Sekulow is necessarily correct.
I KNOW a second special counsel is what Chairman Goodlatte and Trey Gowdy asked for in their letter, and it is what many in Congress have called for. Sleepy Jeff was responding to those requests.. for sure... but I did not get the impression that Sleepy Jeff was going to appoint a Special Counsel at all... Jeff's "guy from outside Washington" is way of NOT appointing a a second Special Counsel (it's "instead of") and I do not think this "guy from outside Washington" is doing any more than yet another review/report. He is NOT undertaking a proper CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. There is no mention of exactly what "matters" he is looking at. The OIG is doing "How DoJ/FBI did Clinton email investigation" ONLY.. and now there is mention of FISA warrant.... but there are also many other "matters" that need investigating...... unless somebody spells out at least what people/ topics are being investigated... I dont think we have a proper Criminal Investigation at all


I would HATE to think we START a Special Counsel investigation Now.... and take likely a year or 2 to investigate. Especially since some documents/evidence will likely be "lost" by now. Even witness testimony will be forgotten/intentionally re-scripted etc. By all means appoint somebody to investigate more corruption... but in the mean time INDICT based on the millions of pages of evidence already gathered.. and sworn testimony. Surely over the past year SOMEBODY has organized existing evidence? Comey's exoneration of Hillary was a summary of evidence sufficient to arrest her. The fact that he said "no prosecutor would indict her" was simply WRONG!!!! She could be indicted on that evidence TODAY!! And that is just a start. Lots of others could be indicted right now based on evidence already gatered... I am sure. :cool




The Evidence is real, the Indictments are Fake...

Andrew C. McCarthy is essentially saying.. two WRONGS don't make a RIGHT... he is agreeing with what I have said previously... smart man :cool


No New Special Counsel
By Andrew C. McCarthy
March 10, 2018 6:30 AM

Sessions should appoint a Justice Department prosecutor to investigate the investigators.

Image

It’s a bad idea.

Original Sin: A Prosecutor but No Crime
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made a foundational error in appointing Robert Mueller to be special counsel to investigate . . . well . . . um . . . come to think of it, that was the error: The investigation has no parameters, and thus no limitations.
[.....]
Chairmen Goodlatte and Gowdy are right: The investigators need to be investigated. But we do not need a special counsel to do it. There is no reason that Attorney General Sessions cannot structure a probe that can be credibly conducted by the Justice Department’s standard investigative arrangement: the FBI, in conjunction with a U.S. Attorney’s office. While some recent errors by federal officials have deservedly drawn rebuke, these institutions typically do solid, professional work, uninhibited by partisanship. Let’s let them do the job that needs doing.

Russia probe: House intel Republicans end investigation, find 'no evidence' of collusion
Erin Kelly, USA TODAY Published 6:04 p.m. ET March 12, 2018 | Updated 6:47 p.m. ET March 12, 2018

Image

WASHINGTON — Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee called an end on Monday to their year-long investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, concluding that there was "no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians."

The probe was ended over the objections of Democrats, who charged that key documents and testimony still have not been obtained.

Republicans said they agreed with the U.S. intelligence community's January report that Russia tried to interfere in the U.S. presidential election, but did not agree that the Russians were trying to help Donald Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The GOP majority on the House panel will show its draft report to Democrats on Tuesday before seeking approval from the full committee to release it to the public. Democrats plan to write a separate report that will likely conclude there is strong evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Nunes Statement on Russia Investigation
Washington, March 12, 2018

Quote:
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes issued the following statement today:

“After more than a year, the Committee has finished its Russia investigation and will now work on completing our report. I’d like to thank Congressmen Trey Gowdy, Tom Rooney, and especially Mike Conaway for the excellent job they’ve done leading this investigation. I’d also like to recognize the hard work undertaken by our other Committee members as well as our staff. Once the Committee’s final report is issued, we hope our findings and recommendations will be useful for improving security and integrity for the 2018 midterm elections.”

One "Muh Russians" Witch hunt down... several still to go.....

The BAD news is... Nunes was at least uncovering Obama/Clinton/Deep State corruption.

No doubt that will be "summarized" in a REPORT..... but that's it!! So what? :wall

House Committee inquiries END WITH A REPORT!! Complete with recommendations for yet more inquiries and reports!! :doh

Told ya so :cool




The Evidence is real, the Indictments are Fake...

Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, is quoted as saying the committee found no collusion with EITHER campaign?

https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/973321432301293569

"Yes, the Russians tried to interfere with our election process. Yes, they had cyberattacks...We could find no evidence of collusion between either campaign and the Russians."

Which is a STUPID thing to say given all the KNOWN evidence of Clinton Collusion with Russia... and this Committee did NOT INTERVIEW ANY of the crooks from Hillary's Campaign/Obama advisors. :doh
I guess this Texan dope means no evidence of Hillary colluding in regards fb ads etc? But that is BS imaginary nonsense anyway :roll


ETA
Same Dope on Tucker Carlson...
Says "he believes" that people working for Russia (or Russians themselves) "hacked DNC" That is STUPID since there is no evidence beyond media speculation... Hey Texans... vote this dope out!!

Mueller Weighs Putting Off Trump Obstruction Decision
By Chris Strohm and Shannon Pettypiece
12 March 2018

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice is said to be close to completion, but he may set it aside while he finishes other key parts of his probe, such as possible collusion and the hacking of Democrats, according to current and former U.S. officials.

That’s because Mueller may calculate that if he tries to bring charges in the obstruction case -- the part that may hit closest to Trump personally -- witnesses may become less cooperative in other parts of the probe, or the president may move to shut it down altogether.

The revelation is a peek into Mueller’s calculations as he proceeds with his many-headed probe, while pressure builds from the president’s advisers and other Republicans to show progress or wrap it up.

Well, this is disappointing about Mike Conaway. Especially the fact that he obviously doesn't know the facts and is spouting off crap on TV. :doh

In the Texas Primary he got 83% of the vote against his one republican opponent.

He represents San Angelo and surrounding areas. Fat chance of him getting voted out. He is Chair of the House Agriculture Committee which tells me he makes his "money" from doing favors for his constituents. :roll
