James Clapper Publicly: The Watergate Scandal Pales By Comparison to Trump's Collusion.
James Clapper, Under Threat of Perjury: I Have Seen No Evidence of Collusion.

Anyone seeing a pattern?

Because I don't see it at all.

Maybe I should get a job at CNN.

Or CNN's red state minor-league feeder team, National Review.


James Clapper, who has admitted (under oath) to leaking to CNN, is now a CNN paid employee.

How cozy their little arrangement!

70 percent of the population are impact neutral, they produce, they consume, they contribute nothing net and their passing is unmarked by the universe.

20 percent are takers, consumers, users, destroyers, their very existence worsens everything and they actively hurt those around them. Destruction manifest.

10 percent are makers, builders, developers, creators. They lead, improve, and are responsible for us from the harnessing of fire to our future. The real 10 percent are low key, unknown, unappreciated. They do what they do because that is who they are.

The ProgTard LibComs actively despise and hold in contempt the 70 percent. They could not care less if the 70 percents die and actively are working to degrade the group into pure public service employees or public benefits dependents. Kiss the glove or become extinct. 70's are as disposable as toilet paper and useful only to do society's shit jobs.

The ProgTard LibComs use the 20 percent as weapons against the 70 percenters. They control the bread and circuses, the drugs, the children and think that usually the vile beasts can't get any slack in the chain to turn on their masters. Usually they are right, occasionally wrong.

The ProgTard LibComs arrogantly assume THEY are the 10 percenters. They think they are the wise, educated, creative vanguard leading they way. They are wrong, but have yet to be confronted with the ugly facts of life. They may never be, riding the wave of chaos into the future until our country and Western society burns in the rubble.

The real 10 percenters see, and know, and weep.

And frequently, Galt.

Terminal failure mass, achieved?

Oliver Darcy goes on a rant about OAN and Chanel Rion. In one of his tweets he rants about her bringing in her own chair to a presser:

@oliverdarcy

On one day in April, OAN personality Chanel Rion even tried setting up her own folding chair in the briefing room. She was told she could not do that, and was seen later carrying it back off White House grounds.

She calls him out:

@ChanelRion

Retweeted Oliver Darcy

Aw, @oliverdarcy... getting the story wrong again - and over a CHAIR!

I brought this chair in each day and brought it out each evening. The next day I left it in the basement where it rests now, ready for the next briefing.

Leave my chair in peace, @CNN! It is a good chair.

Everything we are seeing today was done prior to the Democrats taking the House in 2018. All of these hearings were done while the Republicans were in charge and once Schiff took over he blocked the testimony from release to the public.

Just like "feeling" there was collusion.

This is an absolute textbook case of why people create hoaxes.

All the Jusssie Smoletts of the world are SURE that such-and-such a terrible thing is happening somewhere, so they don't feeling like they're lying (excuse me: "lying") when they concoct an example of it that they can control and wield against their enemies.

To them, theater is "reality."

It's "calling attention" to something.

It's no surprise the @lawfareblog people are upset about the Flynn decision. The government's 20-page brief is 'not an honest document,' they say. Its account is 'not accurate.' 1/5

Lawfare says there were good, solid reasons for the FBI to question Flynn on January 24, 2017 because, among other things, Flynn 'offered to undo sanctions imposed against a foreign adversary.' But did he? 2/5

interested in the evidence, didn't want them. (because they were
already running the Op themselves, already knew?)

Same with

Political satire is nearly dead because of this, and political farce and thrillers are almost certainly dead.

If you were to write up this saga as a political thriller and take it to a publisher, you'd probably get rejected because it was too unbelievable. Yet here we are. I think we're going to enter a dark age for the authors of political thrillers and farces. I reckon that virtually no one is imaginative enough to match - let alone exceed - the reality in which we're living.

261 One thing that I've noticed is that recently people who talk about the crimes have consistently started breaking it down into three segments: Flynn, Crossfire Hurricane, and the leaks. It's almost like they've read a draft report that breaks it down that way. I know that leaves out a lot, like 702 abuse, Five Eyes, the CIA op to set up the predicate for CH, the unmaskings, and then everything around the Mueller investigation. But the fact that people who should be in the know are consistently citing the same three groupings may be indicative that the prosecutable cases are being put together.

272 ORLAND PARK, Ill. (WLS) -- Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has called for
his community to reopen faster than is outlined as part of Governor JB
Pritzker's plan.


He says it just can't wait.



"The
governor's plan would not allow restaurants to reopen until at least
June 26. Frankly, most of our small, family-owned restaurants will not
survive that long," Mayor Pekau said.


"When we embarked on the stay-at-home order, the goal was to flatten the
curve in order to avoid overwhelming our hospital system. This has
clearly been accomplished. In fact, hospitals have been furloughing
medical staff because of the lack of utilization in their system."


During his daily briefing Thursday, Governor Pritzker said he expects
local authorities to make sure businesses follow the state's
stay-at-home order.

They were all distancing 6 feet, wearing gloves and masks, but not all were wearing glasses properly.

The GC has been in business over 30 years and has never seen anything like this.

313 Trump's nailing the shyte out of the FBI. Process is
bad (302s, they "scribble" notes and then change them later) and
they've got a bunch of bad guys.

Posted by: Cheri at May 08, 2020 01:58 PM (oiNtH)

318 I think there is a wider general question the FBI needs to answer, and based on the comments above, the President has touched on it.

Why do they use 302s as standard procedure? I get it back in the day, but nowadays it isn't like audio recording equipment is expensive or difficult to use. If you're undercover, that's one thing but during a normal interview either on the FBI premises or elsewhere, why is recording not the standard? Why write a biased 302 (and it will be - everyone has their biases) instead of a transcript? Why is the 302 the norm instead of a recording?

Is it possibly because a 302 lets the Fibbie say whatever the hell he wants and is subject to later editing, whereas a recording does not? Is it because this system provides cover for institutional dishonesty and lying?

My guess is, "yes."

Yesterday wasn't the end. It was the beginning.

In recent weeks we have learned that, contrary to some reports here, there is indeed a grand jury for this case and Durham has been expanding his team with criminal investigators and prosecutors. We heard endlessly about the Mueller team of prosecutors which included Van Grack, Durham has a team as well.

This is one of the better things NR has put out in recent years. Take a few minutes and read who John Durham is. If you think he is going to cover things up I don't know what to tell you other than you're wrong. If there are prosecutable cases to be made, they will be made.

What's weird is, MSNBC (that I know of) has these "legal analysts" with J.D.s who are reading the court filings and STILL saying the Flynn recommendation is bought-and-paid-for corruption. I don't know, maybe they haven't read all the background, just the recommendation itself (although doesn't it have supplemental evidence?) and it's all a big surprise to them, but still--

Even when they read it, they dismiss it with OrangeManBad.

If heads really do start to roll and indictments really happen, MAYBE then they'll do their homework and say Uh-oh?

358 Telling the truth under oath (and under seal) but lying in public is probably not "prosecutable", until it is put together as a conspiracy ... or as racketeering to commit a coup.


There were well paid lawyers covering the coup tracks at every step. So one of their methods is the "mistakes were made" dismissal of what is really open sedition. But put all the pieces together and this was a coup, and a planned PsyOp against Trump the candidate then against Trump POTUS. I have no idea how possible that prosecution is ... or what other direct crimes were committed ... except Comey lying under oath, type crimes.
