Tucker Carlson yesterday. Full show at the link, but this is the gist of it.
The Podesta Group was hired by Paul Manafort on behalf of foreign clients because the company was perceived to have a direct line to powerful politicians, like Hillary Clinton.
The chairman of one major presidential campaign colluded with a brother of the *other* major presidential campaign to enrich themselves by secretly advancing the interests of a foreign adversary. That happened. That's "the swamp" everyone is saying needs to be drained.
The Mueller investigation is no longer a search for Russian collusion with Trump in the 2016 race. It is now a much more far-reaching inquiry into corrupt lobbying practices all across Washington DC, the so-called "swamp". An investigation that is very likely to ensnare figures close to Hillary Clinton.
In press accounts, Mueller's investigation is still framed as a hunt for collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the government of Russia, but that description is mostly bogus. The investigation has broadened now to determine which people and which organizations in Washington DC have spent years working *secretly* as de facto operatives on behalf of Russian government and business interests.
The Podesta Group is chief among these.
They are more focused on facilitators of Russian influence in America than they are on election collusion. I sense a shift in the Force. For the first time in decades, a threat from Tony Podesta doesn't have the intended effect. Suddenly, no power. It was the day when everything changed.
I mean we know from the John Podesta emails how they worried and worked to stamp out stories with pressure and leveraging behind the scenes. If you are a new reporter in D.C. getting a lead on a Tony Podesta story you were not able to get it out in the "old days".
John Podesta has not Tweeted since October 14th. He knows shit is about to go down.

corrupt lobbying practices
Color me skeptical unless and until we see some Zero/Hildabeast cronies start doing perp walks.

And here I thought I heard Sessions say if the probe found anything outside the Russian collusion objective it would be turned over to others for prosecution. Robespierre to the courtesy phone.

If all this is true then why wasn't Podesta indicted on Monday right along with Manafort?

Your tax dollars spent on Mueller's Whitewash Campaign? All of the "Usual Suspects" that are Dem-affiliated will be let go because there is insufficient evidence -- see Comey for Act I of this farce.

I wonder if Mueller is writing the exoneration documents now before starting the sham investigation (with leaks so they can tidy up before he gets there).
#12
Seems like someone might have found the plug. If they can just pull it free the swamp might start to actually drain (or at least the swamp creatures may go into hiding for a short while).

He got along with Holder, never beefed the Fast and Furious story to any degree, and hired a lefty staff....expecting honest investigations to reveal the heart of the corruption on the left side of the aisle....not likely. He may be expected to reveal some lower level naughtiness but the tip of to Podesta to file foreign agent paperwork after his work started seems just a tad too coincidental.
[Townhall] "Shout 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers."
Who knew hijacker Mohammed Atta's parting words, discovered in his journal after the 9/11 attacks, would become a national punchline? The louder and more frequently jihadists around the globe shriek their signature battle cry, the more fervently multicultural apologists deny its meaning. They've transformed the Islamic supremacists' obvious and explicit call for violence into a bland utterance of peace as indiscernible and nonsensical as "Aloha Snackbar."
With blood still fresh on the pavement in Manhattan after Monday's outbreak of Allahu Akbar-itis that took at least eight innocent lives, Palestinian-American propagandist and Hamas cheerleader Linda Sarsour tweeted:
"Every believing Muslim says Allahu Akbar every day during prayers. We cannot criminalize 'God is great.'"
Rice University sociologist Dr. Craig Considine mourned: "It begins. CNN reports murderer said "Allahu Akbar." Queue the Islamophobia."
And confused former director of national intelligence James Clapper mused: 'It's hard to comprehend...what moves a human being to do that to another human being."
Instead of striking fear, "Allahu Akbar!" has unleashed collective foolishness.
"Allahu Akbar!" screamed Amor Ftouhi just five months ago at Bishop Airport in Flint, Michigan, before stabbing a police officer in the neck.

Poor helpless bugger. Please someone, show him to the door.
Too many people in this country don't know history. Americans, in general, prefer to think about the future.
[Breitbart] Tuesday on MSNBC "Velshi & Ruhle," discussing White House chief of staff John Kelly’s comments on Fox News about Confederate monuments, host of "News One Now" Roland Martin said "too many people in this country who are white" didn’t know history and wanted to "somehow glorify these Confederate leaders."
Martin said, "I’m not going to allow four stars stuck on stupid to simply go on. Here’s a man who’s utterly clueless. For him to say, ’Well, we could have compromised’‐really? We did compromise. It was a thing called United States Constitution, and you know what that said? If you’re a black, you’re three-fifths of a human."
Pathetic, but typical of those who don't know history.
He continued, "I need John Kelly to actually go back and read a history book that my 12-year-old nieces are reading right now, because clearly, he fell asleep in history."
One hopes they will read all the chapters, rather than fixating on a single highlight box as their uncle did.

So many ignorant people misunderstand the 3/5s Compromise. Counting slaves as 3/5 of a person reduced the voting power of the slave states and left the voting power of the slaves (none) unchanged.
#7
I suggest Roland travel to the slave coast of W. Africa and learn the real history of slavery. I lived there for 2 years and certain tribes STILL blame other tribes for capturing and selling them.
John Kelly's pinky toe knows more history than Roland will eve know.

Let me guess, Mr. Martin votes Democrat (party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow laws) because he "knows" the Republicans (party of emancipation and anti-slavery) is going to force him back into "slavery" (take away his victimhood).
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.
