Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Nunes Unchained: DOJ and FBI Have Bet All Of Their Chips on Democrats Winning the House, Which Will End Investigations Into Their Misbehavior; 90% of Reporters "Essentially an Arm of the Democrat Party"
Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), in a wide-ranging audio interview with his House colleague Rep. Sean Duffy (R., Wis.), accused top officials at the FBI and DOJ of "putting all their chips on the Republicans losing the House" so that their Democratic allies can "shut down" the longstanding Intelligence Committee probe, which has unearthed information disputing claims of collusion in recent months. Rep. Duffy interviewed Rep. Nunes for an upcoming episode of Duffy's podcast, "Plaidcast." Nunes also lashed out at the U.S. media, accusing "90 percent" of reporters covering the Russia probe of being "essentially an arm of the Democratic party," according to an advance copy of the interview shared with the Washington Free Beacon.Speaking of Ben Smith: Buzzfeed is being sued for publishing the Steele Dossier (or is that the Blumenthal/Shearer dossier, rewritten by Steele to make it less obvious this was a Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory?) which claimed that a Russian businessman was involved in the Podesta/DNC hack. He's claiming that Buzzfeed, therefore, defamed him, by publishing allegations they didn't bother to confirm. Well, the feds indicted 12 Russians for that hack -- and this Russian businessman wasn't mentioned at all. A Russian tech executive suing BuzzFeed News over the Steele dossier says he is vindicated by special counsel Robert Mueller's indictment of 12 Russian nationals allegedly involved in cyber attacks against Democrats. Aleksej Gubarev, the executive, says Mueller's indictment shows he was not involved in hacks of Democratic National Committee emails, as the dossier alleges. He has filed defamation lawsuits against BuzzFeed News, the website’s editor, Ben Smith and dossier author Christopher Steele. BuzzFeed published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017. Steele, a former British spy, compiled the dossier as part of an anti-Trump research project funded by the DNC and Clinton campaign. "This is a complete and utter vindication of our clients," Gubarev's attorney Val Gurvits said of the Mueller indictment.Maybe Buzzfeed Ben should worry about his own trash-site's journalistic standards and worry less about the Daily Caller's. Oh: Representative Ratcliffe says that Lisa Page admitted the texts she and Peter Strzok exchanged meant exactly what they seemed to mean, rather than resorting to Strzok's dishonest "By 'We'll stop it' I meant the American voter would stop it" bullshit:

From day one, this whole story has been pretty clear to me.
Media says no foreign leader would ever work with the US again if Trump is elected, they all hate him -- then they mistranslated Putin calling Trump "bright," Trump says "great guy, great guy" about Putin, Hillary's team began thinking of this false Putin / Trump story, Trump then jokes about Russia finding her 33,000 emails, then we're off to the races. That's literally all this is. As someone who watched this all unfold, I'm not surprised at any of these developments. I don't think the DNC was "hacked" by anyone or they would have showed the servers to the FBI and screamed about it from the rooftops. Who knows who phished Podesta... super unsophisticated, no reason to think it was a state actor. Yeah, this has all been nonsense since day 1. And yet everyone is running with it. Aggravating.

Aha. Was just about to do an OT comment below about this Nunes stuff.
Of course all of it simply repeats/confirms what anyone with a brain has long recognized - but Nunes has never been so explicit about things.

____ Polls are saying yeah probably going to happen. And yes, I know, I know polls shmolls. But other than the 2016 presidential race, polls have been quite accurate in American elections. Polls said GOP would win the house in 2010, they did. Polls said GOP would win the Senate in 2014, they did. Polls said Dems would win the house in 2006, they did. And right now polls are saying Dems will win the house. It's still 3+ months away and shit can change, but it's more likely than not that Nancy will be the next speaker.

Key part of Nunes remarks: the whole counter-intel op against Trump campaign had no intel basis.
That is - a MASSIVE abuse of the country's most sensitive and powerful authorities vested in the federal govt. As many here have long noted - by far, the greatest scandal in American history (Clinton crime wave at State in 2nd place, IRS scandal in 3rd). Nice how Nunes notes, as again many of us occasionally do, that if there were anything like a press, and these abuses had been against a Dem president or campaign, there would have been complete unending uproar, and demonstrations in the streets (properly so, his statement implies).

The deep state are ready for Pres Trump this time, they will do anything to win the house.
They know they will not be prosecuted for any voting crimes committed now, as evidenced by their skating on their coup. As I explain on the last thread (to those claiming I am a troll or "concerned"), this is very, very, very, dangerous. Pres Trump has no control over his DOJ or FBI who defy him at every turn. He has no media to defend him, and no party to defend him. Something must be done. Posted by: Pam at July 17, 2018 06:48 PM (qRq6C) 56

Mid-terms in the House typically result in out-of-power (i.e., opposite of White House party) pick-ups, for the last few decades. Last exception was 2002. Which has quite a few things that reasonably could be said to be parallels to this cycle - most importantly, a Dem party that is off the rails. This time, their extremism and idiocy is multiples of what it was in 2002.
Polls. Last generic I saw had the Dems at just barely the level where they pick up seats. And no guarantee that, even with some pick-ups, that they pick up enough to take the House. If the Dems don't *lose* seats in this environment (assuming no big changes before Nov.), the case that the country is gone will be greatly strengthened. And if the Dems take the House, of course as Nunes says the entire investigation of these mega-scandals will simply stop (apart from anything DOJ is actually doing). Would not be hyperbole of any sort to say that if that happens, the general legitimacy of the USG will have just about evaporated. Posted by: rhomboid at July 17, 2018 06:55 PM (QDnY+) 91

The fact they have been allowed to stonewall is what infuriates me. Here you have the United States' law enforcement department essentially going rogue and telling those with legal authority to pound sand. Ditto. The day-to-day junk is fodder, this is the real issue as I see it, too. What happens if they don't get a Blue House and the Repubs stay in charge? Can the Deep State and their Law Tools that they own continue to play the stonewall game another 2 years? Because they are all as crooked as a mountain back road. And note to "Rank and File": IF you have been authorized to uphold the law, and you are aware your superiors are breaking the law, then you are REQUIRED TO ARREST THEM!!! Or you are just as GUILTY as they are! I have been having this urge to learn how to fly a helicopter. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at July 17, 2018 06:55 PM (UsCnO) 92

Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Texas at July 17, 2018 06:53 PM (uDcBt) ___ Yep. And the polling shows basically the same pattern as 2010 except with the 2 parties switched. At least the Dems got nationalized health care before they took their beating. It was worth it to them to lose an election in order to achieve that 100 year old area,.

I don't think the DNC was "hacked" by anyone or they would have showed the servers to the FBI and screamed about it from the rooftops. Who knows who phished Podesta... super unsophisticated, no reason to think it was a state actor.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at July 17, 2018 06:40 PM ~~~~~ I read something today (still looking for link now) that blew me away. It is quite possible that the DNC did not want to turn over their servers because it was the DNC itself via Imran Awan and others (likely Fusion GPS among them) who were the "contractors" who were making Section 702 data queries -- the issue Mike Rogers reported to the FISA court and shut down. Very shortly after that, Rogers went to see Trump at his HQ in NYC. That same night, Trump announced that his entire operation would be moved to his Jersey property. This is shocking, if true.

My prediction is the Dems win the house, GOP nets 3 senate seats. Which is OK by me since those extra 3 GOP seats are vital for confirming judges. And the house GOP is a useless piece of turd anyway, so no great loss there.

The much vaunted blue wave not materialising is
driving this panic. The Democrats with bylines know exactly what's the score and they will screech and wail and rend their garments with intensifying efforts up until the vote in November. If all that fails people brace yourselves, they have a narrative that will be pushed to ignite violence. American people will be punished if they don't vote properly, the Dems don't have the means to engineer another vote like UK anti-Brexiteers. Posted by: Decaf at July 17, 2018 07:06 PM --- Without a significant percentage of independents, the black and hispanic vote, the dems have zero hopes of taking back the house.

Yeah it is very doubtful that the "intensity" index favors Dems this time. That's one reason I said it's more like 2002 than most mid-terms. And anyone who thought "O-care!!" was a *positive* for the Dems in 2010 was completely unconnected to any political reality in the country (it was never popular, before or after passage).
If the Keystone Coup plotters go unpunished, I'd say in some sense all bets are off in the country. Because a literally unbelievable abuse of power, directly aimed at affecting elections, will have been unpunished, despite being discovered. That's why I say, for the first time probably in our history, there will be a real legitimacy crisis for the federal political system, at least of this variety, which common globally. And several who follow every detail are, like a commenter above, starting to wonder if some of the illicit 302 queries done by "contractors" were in fact done by the DNC itself. The sort of jaw-droppingly brazen and risky thing that would be ..... much more easily imaginable in a world where the Keystone Coup attemp goes unpunished.

One or two you could say was some crazy fluke. But in red states, blue states, house, senate, state level, it's been an almost never ending stream of Dems winning elections in places where they never win. When a Democrat wins an Alabama senate race - even with a fucked up candidate like Moore - you can't sit there and say all is well, nothing to worry about.

Of the 9 midterm elections since Reagan's first term, the change of seats has exceeded that number 4 times, three in President's first terms, once in a second (W's).

Once the revolution has come to fruition,
Members of the Resistance will receive one extra food ration per month. Friends of the Resistance will receive a villa plus an assignment of 20 deplorables for servants. Patrons of the Resistance will be named Marquis of a city, assigned by a resistance leader. The size of the city will generally depend on your level of favor. Tsars of the Resistance will be given the title of Tsar and a land grant roughly equal to one of the former states, again assigned by a resistance leader, and dependent on your level of favor.

Think the likely voter screens, as usual, show less/no Dem advantage at the moment.
If through some miracle nothing changes between now and Nov., I'd expect GOP holds the House and even picks up a few seats, and I'd put the Senate pick-ups at the Big 5 (WV MT MO IN ND) as a *floor*, with events favoring the GOP pushing that up to as many as 8 pick-ups. But with this economy and several other consistent patterns, odds seem to favor catastrophe for the Dems much more than a reversal of fortune for the GOP (whose vote will, more than in a long time, be driven by presidential issues).

190 Once the revolution has come to fruition,
Members of the Resistance will receive one extra food ration per month. Friends of the Resistance will receive a villa plus an assignment of 20 deplorables for servants. Patrons of the Resistance will be named Marquis of a city, assigned by a resistance leader. The size of the city will generally depend on your level of favor. Tsars of the Resistance will be given the title of Tsar and a land grant roughly equal to one of the former states, again assigned by a resistance leader, and dependent on your level of favor. So many are aiming for Tsar, many more just hoping to be counted as a member.

Look at the last 5, 1st term midterms and how the
out of power party did. Judging by historical standards, the money is on Dems to win. Obama 2010: GOP won 60, won house Bush Jr. 2002: GOP picked up seats but that was post 9/11 so it kinda doesn't count IMO, it was an anomaly. Bubba J 1994: GOP picked up 50, won house Bush Sr. 1990: Dems picked up 9, but they already controlled the house. Reagan 1982: Dems picked up 27, but already controlled the house Posted by: #neverskankles at July 17, 2018 07:23 PM --- Look at the last 5 POTUS elections and the polls were 100% correct in picking the winner.

(Nathaniel Persily) Here's more bad news...he was brought in as a hired gun in Georgia, Maryland, Connecticut, New York, and most recently, North Carolina. You might think...New York and Connecticut? Who cares...lost causes. Except there are a bunch of small conservative bastions (districts) in both those states...or I should say, there used to be. Here's what the dems did. They filed lawsuits in all these states, preferably those with lefty Supreme Courts. The Supreme Courts circumvented the state Constitutions and ordered the redistricting.

306 298 San Francisco Begins Registering Illegal Aliens To Vote
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler at July 17, 2018 07:41 PM (+y/Ru) Begins? I assumed they already were voting. Posted by: josephistan at July 17, 2018 07:43 PM (Izzlo) They probably were. Now San Francisco is just making it official and all legal-like. Posted by: rickl at July 17, 2018 07:45 PM (sdi6R) 316

Grammie, I speak of the Greater Eurasian Co-Prosperity Sphere Plan. America, SMR, and the Celestials step up and take responsibility for the wellbeing of mankind.
SMR nukes from Rio Grande to the Panama Canal. USA nukes western Europe. Celestials nuke KEBAB. High fives and two scoops all around. Posted by: Your Decidedly Devious Uncle Palpatine, SMR and Ancient Slavonaut Newsletters at July 17, 2018 07:48 PM (fA1SL) 322
The question for the Dems is do they really want to win the House? There is no question the Pubs will have an increased Senate Majority - somewhere between 55 to 59 seats. So what does winning the House net them? More invites to Cable News channels? Maxine will yell louder? They can do a Clinton impeachment and guarantee a Trump Landslide in 2020. My guess is the Dem establishment wants the hard left to fail so they can reassert control of the party.

Didn't Trump announce soon after elected that he was going to initiate some massive investigation into voter fraud across the country?
Anybody know if that went anywhere? I was really hoping they would have some explosive results and do some massive cleanup -- especially the voting of illegals and the dead -- by the 2018 midterms. Posted by: ShainS at July 17, 2018 07:49 PM (BiLU+) 326
You're a cheater
IF you could see what I'm using instead of a keyboard, you'd agree it's a miracle I don't have an Airstream backed up into World'O'Barrels. I feel like a guy who has climbed telegraph pole and tapped in with a portable key. FWIW I think a universal income is a great idea in Johannesburg.

Don't get cocky and don't panic. Do what you can do and then rest easy. No one has a crystal ball. Volunteer in a close race, make phone calls, knock on doors, be polite, and positive.

325 Didn't Trump announce soon after elected that he was going to initiate some massive investigation into voter fraud across the country?"
For that to work, he needed the cooperation of the highest population states where cheating was suspected - specifically Illinois, California, and New York. The State Governments and State Attorney Generals of all three of those states shot the idea down and vowed to do everything in their power to stop any attempts by Trump to do this, so the effort died. No point in investigating Voter Fraud in North Dakota, that's not where the problem is. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 17, 2018 07:54 PM (V2Yro) 334

The opposition immediately undertook legal challenges to every state that had any defense mechanim against illegal voting. At least three big cases that I can think of, NC, Ohio and FL. AFAIK the Trump side won all three, but it took all year. Now we can get down to cases. Posted by: Stringer Davis at July 17, 2018 07:55 PM (8ZmvG) 335
ShainS iirc the resistance obstructed the voter fraud task force strongly and it was dispersed to the States?

regarding polls, I have answered several polls this last few weeks. My answer consisted of "fu*k off". I think the polls are mostly worthless.

In 2006 the generic ballot was D+8 and they won 29 seats and the house. Right now the generic is D+8 and they need 23 to win the house.

1. This is true. If--and Lord, please make it so--the GOP holds the House, Rosenstein at a minimum, and preferably most of his staff, must be removed.
2. Strzok must be indicted. Not just fired, not just deprived of some minuscule portion of his pension, but actually brought before a court of law. 3. The same must be done to Comey, Ohr, Ohr's Baba-Yaga-like wife, and any and all of the co-conspirators. There must be a housecleaning. Failure to have one will just prolong the agony.

Dear PDJT:
If you are a real estate tycoon it is okay to wing speeches and conferences in a florid, ad hoc style if that gets your rocks off. But you are no longer just a real estate tycoon, and as you are often at pains to point out - you work for me, not the other way around. Get your act together and start taking this shit seriously, and be SEEN to be taking it seriously. I am not tired of winning, but as your boss, I AM growing tired of the risks inherent your lax preparation. Shape up! Posted by: Ray Van Dune at July 17, 2018 08:03 PM (Vs607) 342

Posted by: Ray Van Dune at July 17, 2018 08:03 Yes, sure Trump has made some missteps. But I'll take lower taxes, a growing economy and lower unemployment over what the Hildabeast would have given us. Add on a better SC. Would she have gotten more billions out of our NATO partners? He's done pretty good in my book. She would have been a disaster as Pres. Posted by: Farmer at July 17, 2018 08:33 PM (yJ1e6) 345
