[KSAT] SAN ANTONIO - State Sen. Carlos Uresti (TX-19) has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
The senator is facing multiple charges including wire fraud, securities fraud, engaging in monetary transactions with property derived from specified unlawful activity; and, one count of being an unregistered securities broker.
Uresti was first elected in 1997 as a Texas Representative and elected to the Senate in 2006. Notice it gets down to here before we see what party he is part of...
The Democrat and San Antonio native attended law school at St. Mary's and opened his own legal office in downtown in the early 1990s. Aaaaand there it is. Ignored by most of the media from here on out
The U.S. Attorney's Office Western District of Texas issued the following statement detailing the alleged crimes.
In San Antonio today, a federal grand jury returned two separate indictments against District 19 Texas State Senator Carlos I. Uresti announced United States Attorney Richard L. Durbin, Jr., and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs, San Antonio Division. Three other individuals were also charged by the grand jury.
[Liberty Alliance, 5 March 2017] On June 27th of 2016, Bill Clinton met secretly with Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
A week later FBI Director James Comey laid out in a press conference the many scandalous activities taken by Hillary Clinton while she was President Obama’s Secretary of State and then he said the famous words:
Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
The request, uncharacteristically, was denied.
Fast forward to October 2016. Wikileaks began releasing emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals. These emails were virtually ignored by the mainstream media who were in the bag for Democrat Hillary Clinton but were spread widely by websites that chose to share the truth like this one.

Perhaps bigger than Watergate, but nothing provable. More importantly, the swamp denizens do not want to prove it. They DO want to 'prove' ANYTHING against Trump, and it does not even need to be true, just plausible - with Trump that should be a low bar to get over.

I doubt that any Dems really want to take Putin up on his offer. The Dems want to keep some issue, any issue (even made-up issues) in the echo chamber of the MSM and slowly bring Trump down with death by a thousand cuts. Even some of the Pubs are jumping in with their two cents such as McCain and Graham. With the Dems, even if they are supporting a criminal, there is unanimity of the Party behind that criminal as we have seen.

Anyone else see frightening similarities to the early 30's? This is undercutting basic confidence in government, I cannot see this healing for a long, long time, and add the plummeting race relationships ties to one side, and I cannot see it ending with even strained tolerance....

According to witnesses, the brawl erupted when the Turkish president’s security detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party outside the residence. (Video at Link)

Hard to watch this video of the Erdogan security detail shown kicking viciously a man in the face and other attacks instead of acting with established decorum for these diplomatic missions.
Our DSS while protecting those visiting foreign dignitaries needs to be looked at when these people act like thugs and are allowed to do serious harm and not be prosecuted.

Everyone one of the security detail should be thrown out of the USA and banned for good.

Burn down the embassy. Shoot anyone trying to leave.
[Al Ahram] The White House declined to comment on Tuesday on media reports that Israel was the source of sensitive information that President Donald Trump shared with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a White House meeting last week. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said he would not comment on the reports. He also declined to say whether the White House would share transcripts of Trump's meeting with Lavrov with lawmakers who have asked for them.

Real question - why is it proving difficult to figure out who leaked this info. Wouldn't be down to the folks in the room to know what was discussed? That would leave a couple americans and russians. Anyone have any insight on this?

# Yosemite Sam, I believe one of the guys in the room said the Washington Post made up the story, and then Trump semi-admitted the story was true (nothing wrong with sharing that kind of info that keeps planes from being blown up).

He also declined to say whether the White House would share transcripts of Trump's meeting with Lavrov with lawmakers who have asked for them. Lawmakers? Well, technically, that's true but they are a whole lot of other things too.
Professor Cohen presents a pretty good theory regarding the potential origins of the current Russian derangement virus. His reference to a 'fourth branch of Government' is a view shared by at least one or two.
Could be a simple coincidence. Interestingly, however, whilst everyone scurries around the White House to 'unmask' the leaking staffer(s), the real leakers may have been the first ones officially notified of the substance of POTUS' recent discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Russian ambassador Kislyak.

Would it be pro-muslim NSA etc interests causing this after all their backers do have the most to lose from
a) Peace in Syria
b) Strong alliance against islam.

These leaks and calls for impeachment are cover or distractions by the left to protect Clinton and Obama followers from prosecution.
There is a pattern to their timing.
Expect Comey to cause a lot of problems, I suspect he was fired in such a humiliating way because Trump felt Comey had a lot to do with the leaks. Now it's McCabe's turn.
