Lebanese-American businessman George Nader was arrested on Monday in New York and charged with bringing child pornography into the US for a second time
The 60-year-old was allegedly found in possession of a cell phone with 12 explicit videos when he flew into Washington, DC, in January 2018
An affidavit filed in federal court in Virginia describes the videos in vivid detail
They allegedly featured sexual acts with at least 12 young boys estimated to be between the ages of two and 14 years old
The charges were initially filed in April 2018 and were unsealed after his arrest
Nader pleaded guilty to an identical child porn charge in Virginia in 1991
He provided grand jury testimony in FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling
[American Spectator] Crossfire Hurricane" ‐ the melodramatic code name for the FBI/CIA spy operation on candidate Trump and his early presidency ‐ was run for the FBI by then-FBI Director James Comey, his deputy Andrew McCabe, Special Agent Peter Strzok, and a few others.
Then-CIA director John Brennan ran it for the CIA. Brennan had to have help, but who was it? A lot of evidence points to the CIA’s then-chief of station in London in 2016-2017, and now the Director of Central Intelligence, Gina Haspel.
President Trump claimed that the FBI and CIA’s spying on his campaign and early presidency was treason. Attorney General William Barr said that, legally, it wasn’t.

Ill go all Herb for a moment. Where might we be today if Boosh had just cleaned house at CIA (and DoS too, but that's crazy talk, I know) the day after his inauguration? No way it would have changed 9/11 but everything after that, especially Iraq would probably have been (not saying turned out different, too many cooks and all that) quite different. The permanent parade of professional poltroons inside the Beltway is 99.99997% of the problem.

Yes, very difficult to fire the people who hired you.

Yeah, B. In retrospect the 2000 election looks interesting...

President Trump claimed that the FBI and CIA’s spying on his campaign and early presidency was treason. Attorney General William Barr said that, legally, it wasn’t. Barr is correct.
It seems premature to say treason is off the table when the facts are not all in. Is conspiring with an ally rather than an enemy to nullify an election and duly-elected POTUS treasonous? Adam Yahiye Gadahn was charged with treason for conspiring with an enemy. IMO the ramifications of what was done in Spygate are more serious and far-reaching than the treasonous Gadahn's crimes...but then I'm not a lawyer.

Although I hope Barr gets to the bottom of this mess that was created, I vacillate between optimism and pessimism. Daylight and honesty, at some point, would be helpful to Americans in deciding for whom they should vote and who should govern. So far, we have seen little that has been done to drain the swamp and clean up the left-over corruption.
Presently, there is too much disinformation, fake news and B.S. from swamp denizens.

Maybe the Knights of Malta are the ones in charge
I'd prefer the Knights of Pythias. More drinking.

Trump should order Barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS, yes even republicans. Just so it's fair. It's the only way to be sure.
[IMAGES.DAWN] In his video message Khan says: "President Trump, if you're watching this… your values and what you stand for are the complete opposite of London's values and the values in this country."
"We think diversity is not a weakness, diversity is a strength, we respect women and we think they are equal to men, we think it's important to safeguard the rights of all of us, particularly the vulnerable and the marginalised." But leave the Grooming Gangs alone!

The opposite of Khan's? That seems a very GOOD thing.

Well, let's play the hypothetical game for a minute. If, in fact, no one was executed, what would all the media hysteria over imaginary executions be called? Theater in the round? Pantomime? Fake news?

It's a miracle, I tells ya!
(it's that, or Kimmie ran out of anti-aircraft rounds)
[The Hill] The House on Monday passed a $19.1 billion disaster relief package, finally sending legislation to the White House that had been repeatedly blocked by conservatives over the Memorial Day recess.
The legislation was approved in a 354-58 vote.
The House sought to move the bill three times by unanimous consent over the last week, but the vote was blocked by a different conservative Republican each time.
GOP Reps. Chip Roy (Texas), Thomas Massie (Ky.) and John Rose (Tenn.) each blocked the unanimous consent vote, arguing there should be a full debate on the measure.
Roy, a former staffer to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), argued the spending should be offset by other spending cuts and said he was concerned about adding to the national debt.
"The American people send their representatives to Washington to represent them. They deserve to see how we vote. While I'm happy the Speaker chose to go back to regular procedure, I am still troubled we're poised to spend $19 billion that is not paid for when we are racking up $100 million an hour in national debt," he said on the floor Monday.
The measure includes funding for communities hit by various natural disasters across the country. It also includes $900 million in aid to Puerto Rico, funding that was initially opposed by President Trump as being too much.
The measure passed the Senate in an 85-8 vote in late May.
A number of lawmakers during Monday’s debate criticized Congress’s failure to pass the bill last week.

It will go to the mega-farming corporations first.
The little guys living from season to season won't even be able to assess their loss until the land dries.
[TheHill] Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said Sunday that racism in America prevented Stacey Abrams from being elected governor of Georgia last year.
"If this country wasn’t racist, Stacey Abrams would be governor," the White House hopeful said during a CNN town hall in Atlanta. "People of color are being systemically denied the most basic right in a democracy, which is the right to vote."
Abrams, a black woman, lost the 2018 gubernatorial race to Brian Kemp, a white man, by a little more than 1 percentage point.
The contest was rife with allegations of minority voter suppression by Kemp, who was secretary of state before running for governor.
Moulton's comment came in response to a question he received about how his administration would combat systemic racism.
The Massachusetts lawmaker called for the protection of voting rights and criminal justice reform.
"I smoked weed when I was younger. I didn’t get caught, but if I had, I would’ve been fine because I’m a white guy," Moulton said to illustrate his point about America's criminal justice system being racist.
He promised to ensure "not two sets of laws ‐ one for black, one for white; one for rich, one for poor ‐ but that everyone in America is subject to the same laws" if elected.

Mind you 0bama won the elction and no-one knew anything about his past (mainly thanks to the MSM covering those stories with a pillow until they stop moving).
Obviously now 0bama isn't president the people who (unwisely? perhaps not looking at romney and McCain in retrospect )elected him twice return to being called waycists.

Last week the University of Pennsylvania released a study on the state of racism in the US (received to deafening silence, so guess what they concluded! Actually racism is in free fall in the Trump era.)

That bias confirmation study that failed. These people are profoundly ignorant.
"A new study has found that anti-black and anti-Hispanic prejudice has declined since President Donald Trump took office. The results defied their expectations, the researchers said. (Duh.)
In the study, University of Pennsylvania sociologists (not scientists, but users of statistics) Daniel J. Hopkins and Samantha Washington set out to measure the effect of Trump’s election on anti-black and anti-Hispanic prejudice. For the study, they used a randomly-selected panel of 2,500 Americans whose changing opinions have been under study since 2008."

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.
