Claim: New Panel Will Report that Argentine Prosecutor, Found Dead During Probe Into 1994 Terrorist Bombing, Was Murdered
Here's the background:
1n 1994, a Jewish center in Buenos Aires was bombed, killing 85. Iranian agents were suspected of being behind the attack -- but no prosecutions were ever brought. In 2015, Alberto Nisman was conducting a special investigation into the unsolved terrorist bombing case. He planned to bring a complaint against then-President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and other Argentinian politicians of covering up the bombing on behalf of Tehran. One day before he was due to make his complaint, he was found dead. Claims were that it was a suicide, but a lot of people were suspicious about the convenient timing -- it was almost as if Alberto Nisman wanted to exit this earth at the precise moment people not named Alberto Nisman wanted Alberto Nisman to exit this earth. A forthcoming report -- not yet published, so we don't know if this is all true yet -- will declare the death a murder.In the photo that runs with the story, one protester is holding a sign that reads "85 + 1 = 86," saying, I presume, that Alberto Nisman was the 86th casualty of the 1994 bombing. Which was probably perpetrated by agents of Iran. Oh, also in 2015, Obama gave Iran the go-ahead to build a nuclear bomb and $140 billion dollars. Oh: And Kircher claimed at a UN speech that, in 2010, a former aide to Obama asked her to provide nuclear fuel to Iran.
A team of investigators appointed by the Kirchner government concluded -- following a controversial investigation that was heavily criticized by Nisman’s family -- that the special prosecutor committed suicide using a gun supplied to him by Diego Lagomarsino, a computer specialist employed by Nisman. But a new report from the Gendarmeria, a federal security force, will put the suicide theory to bed once and for all and show that Nisman was murdered, according to Argentine news outlets. The report's publication is expected within the next thirty days, the Clarin newspaper said.
During a 45-minute speech, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner claimed that in 2010 a former Obama administration official asked Argentina to "provide the Islamic Republic of Iran with nuclear fuel" under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency. According to Kirchner, Gary Samone, who was the White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction at the time, visited Argentina in the hopes of convincing them to provide reactor fuel. When the Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs asked for the request in writing, they never heard from Samone again. There is a backstory to this, as Kirchner explained. In 1987, Argentina supplied Iran with nuclear fuel for their "Teheran" reactor. Samone told Hector Timmerman, the Argentine Foreign Minister, that negotiations with Iran to end or limit its nuclear enrichment program had begun and that the "Teheran" reactor was a sticking point. Iranian negotiators wouldn’t go forward without the fuel. And Argentina was the United States’ answer.

My go-to theory, until proven otherwise: Ryan was got to. Before the Biden debate. They showed him an envelope with pictures, and told him they still have the negatives.
As for "convenient" deaths, they are too numerous to delineate here.

By the way, Debbie Wasserman Schultz's brother is an Assistant US Attorney in DC, and there is speculation he's part of the reason the investigation is dead.

From the Forbes link:
Adding to the mystery, investigators also found that someone logged onto Nisman's computer in the hours after his murder but before his mother discovered his body the following morning.
That oughta have raised eyebrows.

I don't think there was ever more than a vanishingly small chance that Nisman's death was a suicide.
And yes ace the indefensible and insane Iran policy was appeasement of a regime that has been at war with much of the world for decades.
Pet theory is that soley because 1979, which framed most Americans' views of the Iran regime for decades, had faded enough due to generational turnover that the disastrous Obama policy could even be considered. Otherwise there would have been a political firestorm of opposition.

"a senate candidates sealed divorce records got leaked,"
Nerdish point of order, because it's actually worse.
It was a child custody proceeding in CA. Jack Ryan's wife was shtupping her Star Trek producer. So she embellished some stories. Records were released by a D judge in CA over the objections of father, mother and child (which is unheard of). Jerri Ryan actually endorsed Jack during the election, but that got washed out because MSM couldn't resist printing pictures of her bodacious Ta Tas.
Axelrod has as much as admitted that he got his old cronies at the Chicago Tribune to be the front to make it happen.
What sunk Jack Ryan was that he had a Boy Scout reputation. What saved Trump during Pussygate was that we already knew that he had been a pussy hound.

David Fincher is a huge reason for the House of Cards fictitious documentary. It's 100 times worse than House of Cards. It's all compartmentalized. Nobody knows what others are doing. It's all bad, that's for sure.

1) Distribute cases of Preparation H to upcoming college graduates.
2) Wait for commencement speech.
3) When speaker (inevitably) goes all butt-hurt about Trump winning, have the students huck those tubes up on to the stage. No words. Just performance art.
I'd pitch in to a crowdfunding site for something like that.

For a long while -- before he got caught in a corruption case -- Sheldon Silver was always in the top three of NYS power, sometimes eclipsing the Governor behind closed doors.
The secret to his success was having dirt on enough members in NYS Assembly. Albany has been a notorious Sodom for legislators who go there three days a week, for half the year.

I explain Roberts flip-flop in the OCare with these alternatives:
1) he wanted a sixth vote and couldn't get it, and was worried about blowback on SCOTUS if it were a 5-4 vote on political lines.
2) Obama made a public "nice court you got there" threat. This adds to #1. Obama may have threatened more in private or through surrogates.
3) Someone hit Roberts with the "nice Guatemalan twins you got there" threat. "Why do they look like they're from County Kerry?"
I put most weight on #2. Roberts said to himself "it's political." Let Congress sort it out.

He has no balls. Scalia and Thomas have balls. They wouldn't have backed down were they in Roberts position.
The Irish adoption thing shouldn't have been enough to get Roberts to fold. He could have ridden that through.
Instead, my belief was that he put the institutional interests of SCOTUS first.

The behavior of Roberts in the ACA case isn't that of a judge who had reasoned it out well in advance that the Court should punt, and then carefully built a Potemkin-village legal facade around that cynical stance.
Instead, there was the truly weird spectacle of the majority opinion being hastily rewritten under severe deadline pressure at literally the last possible minute, due to Roberts abruptly switching sides.
Why? We don't, and may never, know. But that he did so is incontrovertible.

The intel community is very fragmented into specialized agencies. My guess is that the "17 agencies" refers to the big ones, plus the intel sections of other agencies such as the state department. Of course, even then it's likely Bulls hit since I doubt that most of those agencies cared or gave more than a cursory glance at the situation.

Why? We don't, and may never, know. But that he did so is incontrovertible.
-------
We do know that Obama and his minions repeatedly stated at the time that Roberts risked the legitimacy of the Court, as if they were holding something over his head.

So Ignoramus you agree that Roberts is a dumbass waaay over his head - "he put the institutional interests of SCOTUS first". ???? Making a farce of the SCOTUS is protecting its institutional interests? Pretty likely Roberts did in fact make this idiotic calculation, thus damaging his institution more than anyone had in a generation (then for good measure beclowning himself even more by discarding settled logical principles of statutory construction in the follow-up case).
Plus, there's no threat to SCOTUS - their lawless behavior has not produced a hint of a murmur of a rumor that anything will be done about it (congressional action or executive repudiation). They are, contrary to the most basic intent of the constitution, beyond account or retaliation, however lawless and ridiculous they are.
And yes everyone can continue to conjure their implausible blackmail fantasies to explain what is easily understood from obvious or very likely (or even known) factors, but it just distracts from confronting how grim reality actually is.

"I believe that most of the cabinet agencies have their own swat team for some unknown reason."
I hear this all the time and no one can point to any proof of it. The closest is some news report from a couple years ago where the department of education supposedly used a swat team when looking for a gal who was delinquent on her loans, but that story was bs. The agents were wearing body armor and had a few local cops as backup and that's it. Considering that student loan fraud is a money maker for Russian gangs, that's not unreasonable.

Roberts is a smart guy. Not a dumbass.
But he has no balls.
We all agree that he did a 180 at the very end on a quite important decision and the only way to explain it is that he folded to pressure or blackmail, take your pick.
In another OCare case, he refused to consider Gruber's accidentally getting caught telling the truth.

But certain acts of dereliction do not require any such explanation.
But feel free to resort to such "explanations" rather than looking at the actual state of things. It is certainly a feel-good technique. Though not a think-good technique.

"was John Roberts known as a constitutional conservative before he got the job?"
Roberts had been carefully cultivated to go on SCOTUS after a short stint on the DC Appeals Court. No controversial cases there, like anything on abortion. Boring shit mostly.
But he was supposed to be a stealth conservative.
And he has been, mostly, but because he was never tested at the appellate level, his lack of balls wasn't known. Which matters on the big stuff. And he's never found a way to keep Kennedy on plantation.

No, Roberts most certainly *is* a dumbass. His words speak for themselves, they don't come with secret codicils and explanations.
And a coward. But mostly a dumbass. He doesn't understand his job, or that of his institution (in fairness, it seems few do, any longer). As it's actually not a complicated concept, he rates "dumbass" for not getting it.
Adding to the dumb theme, anyone who felt "pressure" (while in an untouchable unaccountable position more like a high Soviet party official's spot than anything remotely American or constitutional), in favor of a wildly unpopular policy, isn't very sharp. O-care being nuked as it should have been at the outset would have meant political disaster for Obama, and nothing at all for the court. Gotta be pretty dumb to spend more than a month in DC and not know that.

About the total of U.S. intelligence agencies, I don't know that it's 17, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Off the top of my head:
CIA
FBI (counterintelligence)
NSA (Hi, Bob!)
National Reconnaissance Office (spy satellites)
DEA
Secret Service
State Dept. (Bureau of Intelligence and Research, often shortened to INR)
Army intelligence
Navy intelligence
Air Force intelligence
There's 10, right there. Can anybody add more?
