[Daily Caller] Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Thursday to discuss newly revealed text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that dealt with Hillary Clinton.
In one text released to the public, Page, in reference to Clinton, wrote to Strzok, "One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi?"
[Political Insider] A stunning report from former assistant U.S. attorney Andrew McCarthy details exactly how former President Barack Obama made sure that Hillary Clinton would never face an indictment for her criminal use of a private email server.
Published in National Review, McCarthy notes that Obama exchanged about 20 emails using a pseudonym with Hillary on the email server while she served as secretary of state. One of those emails is from Hillary while she was in Russia. The FBI concluded it was very likely that "hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account" during this secretive exchange.
Obama and his administration didn’t want anyone to know of his involvement in the email scandal, which is why he once claimed he first learned of the email scandal by watching the news.
Now, we’re learning extra details that show those exchanges contained classified information. This means that if Clinton illegally mishandled this information, it was also mishandled on the other end by Obama. Without an indictment, Obama assumed those exchanges would never surface.
These points made by McCarthy are reinforced by newly released text messages from anti-Trump FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Now we know the rest of the story. Obama was cleaning up the mess:
There is a QA problem in hiring because democrats get through - obviously they have no loyalty to anything but the leftists kooks. And they run your government.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) on Thursday signed an executive order blocking state law enforcement agencies from detaining undocumented immigrants at the request of federal officials, days after the Trump administration began ramping up immigration enforcement actions.
Inslee’s order prevents state agencies from discriminating against or refusing service to those in living the country illegally. It also blocks those agencies from spending state resources to create or enforce a registry of citizens on the basis of religious affiliation.
The order blocks the Washington State Patrol and the state Department of Corrections from detaining anyone solely on the basis of immigration status.
"This executive order makes clear that Washington will not be a willing participant in promoting or carrying out mean-spirited policies that break up families and compromise our national security and, importantly, our community safety," Inslee said at a press conference Thursday.
One provision of the Trump administration’s new immigration guidelines, issued Tuesday, directs the Department of Homeland Security and immigration enforcement agencies to enlist local law enforcement agencies in efforts to enforce federal immigration law. There is no federal law requiring local agencies to adhere to those guidelines.

You know that thing from last week where Trump's administration is considering arresting / prosecuting people for this sort of thing? Start with this guy.
[Daily Beast] A controversial Republican memo alleging surveillance abuse specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein along with former FBI Director James Comey.
Capitol Hill sources on both sides of the aisle say the memo’s release is only a matter of time. And when it comes out, these current and former officials ‐ all GOP bêtes noires ‐ are likely to face even more criticism from the right over their involvement in FBI counterintelligence work.
Republicans, including Trump himself, have spent months attacking McCabe and Comey while special counsel Robert Mueller has been investigating Team Trump’s connections to the Kremlin. Rosenstein put that probe in place‐a move Trump has derided as a witch hunt.
A groundswell is building to release the memo‐written by Devin Nunes, the California Republican and key Trump ally who chairs the House intelligence committee‐which former FBI agents fear will damage public trust in the bureau. While Democrats say the memo deliberately misrepresents the procedures for obtaining a foreign-intelligence surveillance warrant, The Daily Beast has learned that Hill Republicans are gearing up to use an obscure parliamentary rule to release it.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department has expressed serious concerns about the memo’s potential release. In a letter sent to Nunes on Jan. 24, Stephen Boyd, the department’s top congressional liaison, wrote that "it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum and to advise the HPSCI [the House intelligence committee] of the risk of harm to national security and to ongoing investigations that could come from public release."

I read recently that Schumer (spit) has successfully conned McConnell out of confirming many of Trump's DOJ appointments, at least so far. More likely McConnell has allowed himself to be conned. So Zero's DOJ is still up, running, and gleefully throwing monkey wrenches after a full year.

Nothing like being a party to your own firing squad with this bunch at the FBI. Strzok even said in one of his emails that "there's no there there" in regards to the Mueller investigation witch hunt. Strzok, however, wanted to be a part of the take down of Trump. If they want a real witch, look into Hillary. This bunch at the FBI should have been fired and prosecuted long ago. Letting this go on, however, has revealed a great deal about the Swamp.
[TPM] A journalist announced last week that he will publish a photograph of then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama (D) and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan that he took in 2005 at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, but did not make public because he believed it would have "made a difference" to Obama’s political future.
The photographer, Askia Muhammad, told the Trice Edney News Wire that he "gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy."
"But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover," Muhammad said.
Asked whether he thought the photo’s release would have affected Obama’s presidential campaign, Muhammad said, "I insist. It absolutely would have made a difference."

As I have said elsewhere obozo has always been a POS. A doper not worth the time of day. An people couldnt see through the smoke. STUPIDITY advances.

Never understood why GWB's DUI was such a deal breaker to the press when Zero's blatant and admitted drug use, photos and comments in "his" books, was given a free pass.

Proof positive of the mainstream press dereliction of duty to inform the public. We no longer have a free press. We have one that picked up the chains and blinders and put them on willingly.
I don't think that's what they meant by "invisible hand" in The concept of unintended consequences is one of the building blocks of economics. Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,...”
[SANLUISOBISPO] Firearms manufacturer Weatherby Inc. is relocating its manufacturing operations and corporate headquarters from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to Wyoming, marking another catch by Wyoming of a company abandoning a state that isn't as gun friendly.
Weatherby's move to Sheridan is expected to create 70 to 90 jobs and more than $5 million in annual payroll over the next five years.
Company and state officials, including Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead, announced the move Tuesday at a gun industry trade show in Las Vegas.
"We wanted a place where we could retain a great workforce, and where our employees could live an outdoor lifestyle," Adam Weatherby, chief executive officer of the company, said in a statement. "We wanted to move to a state where we can grow into our brand. Wyoming means new opportunities. We are not interested in maintaining; we are growing."

Additional bonus - no Wyoming income tax - win-win!

Companies will vote with their feet. Companies do not appreciate getting a corporate tax cut, then have it negated by some socialist parasite paradise state.

The fix was in. The 2016 election was rigged ‐ and Donald Trump won anyway.
All hell is breaking loose in D.C. The next few weeks will be the most shocking in America’s history. The revelations about to be made public will shake this nation to its core.
Liberals who watch only CNN and MSNBC probably haven’t a clue what’s about to hit them. Trust me, that light at the end of the tunnel is a train headed straight for the Democrat Party.
We all know ‐ thanks to former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile ‐ that Hillary rigged the Democrat presidential primary against Bernie Sanders. That was a precursor of what was to come.
Does it shock anyone that someone brazen enough to rig a presidential primary would also try to rig the general election?
Don’t look now, but Donald J. Trump may be the first person in world history to win an election rigged against him. Hillary ‐ with the backing of Barack Obama and the leadership of the FBI and Department of Justice ‐ fixed the general election so Trump couldn’t win. And Trump ‐ this relentless bull in a china shop ‐ won anyway.

The democrats are hopelessly out of touch. How does throwing money and entitlements at illegal aliens that want to steal jobs and livelihood from working Americans going to resonate with the average American enough to win an election?
With a huge economic boom in progress?
The only thing they have is this "coup d'état". If they don't get Trump out of the way in this "investigation" they are cooked.
BTW, after watching "13 Hours" for the zillionth time, I believe that what happened was a Clinton Foundation "hit" on Ambassador Stevens. He and the local CIA found a lot of US and Soviet high tech weaponry on the open market and were trying to keep it from getting to Asaad and the Syrian rebels. Hillary on the other hand stood to make a lot of money, and gratitude from the Russians, et al., by allowing the Manpads and other nasty gizmos to get to the ME.

It's interesting that we are seeing no reportage of how this little show is playing with that beloved (most of the time) by journos and pollsters cohort known as "independents." I can only intuit from the silence that the numbers there are not good.

The press is not reporting on independents, because the press is too busy trying to keep this buried, or preemptively attempting to discredit or muddy the waters. They know when it all comes out, they will be found as willing accomplices to the corruption. RICO the times and Post and the big TV news operations.
[ConservativeTreehouse] There has been a great deal of speculation about FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page leaking to media in their efforts to shape stories conducive to their pro-Clinton/anti-Trump efforts. Prior reporting showed the strong possibility Page and Strzok were leaking to the Wall Street Journal.
"Article is out, but hidden behind paywall so can’t read it," Page texted Strzok on Oct. 24, 2016.
"Wsj? Boy that was fast," Strzok texted back, using the initials of the famed financial newspaper. "Should I ’find’ it and tell the team?"
Some new information today, and some additional research, and we can not only confirm the prior suspicions outlined by John Solomon (The Hill) ‐ but we also discover the actual Wall Street Journal reporter they were leaking to.
Yesterday Senator Chuck Grassley released a series of text messages between Page and Strzok (full pdf here). Within the release there is a portion of messaging where Lisa Page is identified on the phone with "Devlin" (see page #5 ‐ screen grab below): Is it possible the end narrative will implicate 2 "rogue agents" and "Move along, nothing else to see here."?

Grassley released a series of text messages
The .pdf reads interesting except for the 'name-scrubbed' and 'date-gapped' items. Immediately suggests an agenda rather than transparency.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
