[SeanHannity] New court documents released this week show the FBI and DOJ opened an ‘Obstruction of Justice’ case against President Trump before Robert Mueller was appointed as the special counsel.
“A newly unsealed court document reveals the FBI opened an obstruction of justice case against President Trump before Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 election,” reports Fox News.
“Mueller was appointed by Rosenstein in May 2017 to investigate any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign, as well any other matters that arose from the investigation,” adds the article.

[LIFENEWS] Pennsylvania Democratic State Rep. Brian Sims thought it his duty to videotape and harass a pro-life woman protesting against abortion outside a Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party. clinic in his district, repeatedly telling the unnamed woman he had the same constitutional right to film as she did to protest. While Americans have the right to record protesters in Pennsylvania, the state also has a strict a two-party consent state, meaning even in public both parties involved in a conversation must give consent to be audio or video recorded. At various points in the video, Rep. Sims indicates he wants to have a conversation, to each time the women says no and does not give permission to record.
At approximately 4:08 the woman begins to leave the vicinity of the Planned Parenthood area and Sims says, "Actually let’s keep walking down the block. We can talk about this. We can talk about your Christian faith, about how your Christian faith believes in shaming people." The woman clearly does not want to talk and says "Get out of my way" and "get your camera out of my face" indicating she does not consent to the conversation he wants to have nor to being recorded in public. Sims says, "no, no" and continues to berate the woman for nearly 9 minutes.
According to the ACLU, in Pennsylvania "You have a right to capture images in public places, but you don’t always have a right to record what people say. Pennsylvania’s Wiretap Law makes it illegal to record private conversations ‐ which can include conversations in public places ‐ without the consent of all parties to the conversation." However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... you legally can record protesters in public spaces.
But, given the fact the woman in the video was leaving the Planned Parenthood area, was not spouting anti-abortion rhetoric at the time Rep. Sims asked to "Talk", and she declined Rep. Sims the right to record their conversation, a good attorney might be able to sue Rep. Sims for breaking PA’s wiretap law.

Yas,,, and I'm sure the local gendarmes and demo legislature will jump right in with charges/and blackballing (? can we still use that word?).
[TheHill] If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI’s secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump’s campaign, it sat buried for more than 2 1/2 years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s ties to Russia.
Steele’s client “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” the date of the 2016 election, Kavalec wrote in a typed summary of her meeting with Steele and Tatyana Duran, a colleague from Steele’s Orbis Security firm. The memos were unearthed a few days ago through open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United.
Kavalec’s notes do not appear to have been provided to the House Intelligence Committee during its Russia probe, according to former Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). "They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there’s a reason for it," Nunes told me. Senate and House Judiciary investigators told me they did not know about them, even though they investigated Steele’s behavior in 2017-18.
One member of Congress transmitted the memos this week to the Department of Justice’s inspector general, fearing its investigation of FISA abuses may not have had access to them.
Nonetheless, the FBI is doing its best to keep much of Kavalec’s information secret by retroactively claiming it is classified, even though it was originally marked unclassified in 2016.
The apparent effort to hide Kavalec's notes from her contact with Steele has persisted for some time.
State officials acknowledged a year ago they received a copy of the Steele dossier in July 2016, and got a more detailed briefing in October 2016 and referred the information to the FBI.
But what was discussed was not revealed. Sources told me more than a year ago that Kavalec had the most important (and memorialized) interaction with Steele before the FISA warrant was issued, but FBI and State officials refused to discuss it, or even confirm it.
The encounter, and Kavalec’s memos, were forced into public view through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation by Citizens United. Yet, all but a few lines have been redacted after the fact. Officials are citing as the reason national security, in the name of the FBI and a half-century-old intelligence law.
The "crisis" is the Donk attack on the constitution. Past time to declare the Democratic Party (The Party of Treason and Slavery (TM)) in open rebellion against the United States and ban it.

Well if Barr is guilty of contempt of Congress, you better include the majority of the country. You HAVE seen Congress's favorability / unfavorabilty numbers in the polls, haven't you Jerry boy?
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... and aides on Tuesday briefed a group of Republican senators on a merit-based immigration plan that would let more highly-skilled workers into the United States and fewer low-skilled workers, a senior administration official said.
The overall effect of the plan, the official told a group of news hounds, would be to leave the number of legal immigrants colonists allowed into the United States at about the same.
"We want to encourage immigration. But it’s got to be through the legal system," the official said.
Separately, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham ... the endangered South Carolina RINO, fellow maverick of Honest John McCain... , whose committee would have to shepherd such legislation through the Senate, described the effort to news hounds as "a merit-based immigration proposal that deals with increases in work visas and decreases family visas." The latter refers to visas for relatives of immigrants colonists already in the United States.
Graham said the more pressing problem is dealing with large numbers of undocumented Central American families seeking asylum in the United States.
He said he would introduce a bill as soon as next week that could toughen asylum requirements and potentially extend the amount of time young immigrants colonists could spend in detention.
In recent weeks, Graham has said he would seek Democratic input, but if there was no agreement, then the "blame game" would begin, as the 2020 presidential and congressional elections near.
Lawmakers said none of the Republican measures do anything to protect from deportation the more than 1 million undocumented immigrants colonists brought into the United States years ago as children and referred to as "Dreamers."
