Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Rand Paul: It's Time to Investigate High-Ranking Obama Officials For Colluding to Misuse Intel and Law Enforcement Assets Against a Political Rival; "Worse Than Watergate""Time to investigate high ranking Obama government officials who might have colluded to prevent the election of @realDonaldTrump! This could be WORSE than Watergate!" Paul tweeted Thursday morning.Meanwhile, House Republicans are already probing this scandal, though it would be better to have a special counsel do it. A group of House Republicans has gathered secretly for weeks in the Capitol in an effort to build a case that senior leaders of the Justice Department and FBI improperly -- and perhaps criminally -- mishandled the contents of a dossier that describes alleged ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, according to four people familiar with their plans. A subset of the Republican members of the House intelligence committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes of California, has been quietly working parallel to the committee's high-profile inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. They haven't informed Democrats about their plans, but they have consulted with the House's general counsel.Meanwhile, today Andrew McCabe, who is emulating his political favorite Hillary Clinton in her convenient lapses of memory when questioned about corrupt actions and corrupt intent, is "testifying" before two House panels. He had previously claimed large gaps in memory in his Senate "testimony" on Tuesday. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

A new all-time classic video has emerged. White SJWs invade a university library and start protesting about some bullshit issue, chanting through a megaphone, "Who's got the power?? WE'VE GOT THE POWER!!!" Then a nerdy Asian student boy from China stands up, bravely in their faces like the Tiananmen Square guy with the tanks. And he says, "Hey, Hey... This is library!" Then drops the mike and walks away, as they stand there in stunned silence. Must see! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uccnht0MOTo Posted by: zombie at December 21, 2017 05:59 PM (42M22) 16

Willowed in the last post:
322 So we are looking at the biggest Economic turnaround in nearly 50 years that no one has ever heard of. Why? Oh...MSM is supposed to report on it? Right...... Posted by: Diogenes at December 21, 2017 05:42 PM (0tfLf) Is everyone forgetting about 1979? The following three years is the biggest turn around ever in such a relatively short time. Going to be hard to beat that but I hope we can. Posted by: Roc Ingersol at December 21, 2017 05:49 PM (014lE) We will beat it. This 4% came because of Trump's solitary efforts. Not Congress. It was Trump who: - Brought consistency to the government, instead of creating nonsense out of thin air to punish businesses. Slashed regulation. -Removed silly Global Warming nonsense from how the government does things - Remove much of the cronyism (this is unseen, but there are no Sylyndra type dirty deals (His enemies would eat him alive - can you say "Impeachment Fodder?") - Created a business friendly environment that people are more confident that thyeir risks will show a reward. - Made the energy sector more productive (the productivity under Obama was IN SPITE OF him, not because of him) - Reduced the burden of Obamacare through allowable policy. This just off the top of my head, but I predict Trump's recovery is going to dwarf Reagan's, but one big difference between the economy Trump inherited and the one the Gipper inherited is that Reagan came after a man who was inept and weak but well meaning, while Trump's predessessor was maliciously trying to harm this country. A lot of business has been holding back to protect themselves from Obama's malevolence, and it's coming back very quickly now that "You Didn't Build That", and "Redistribute the Wealth" is no longer the watchwords. 4% is the floor on this recovery. Now that congress has passed tax reform and gutted Obamacare 6%, 7% as a norm, and a topout of 8.5% will take place before we have another recession (which should actually be considered a correct and allowed to take place in the economy naturally). Pence will have to deal with the recession of 2022. Hopefully people won't buy into the democrat's snake medicine like they did with Obama for the 2007-2008 downturn. Economic cycle will always have a recession. Democrats make recessions Great Recessions. Posted by: Minuteman at December 21, 2017 06:13 PM (A3b6q) 96

"... the president "and his allies seem on the verge of staging a coup against independent institutions and the rule of law."
I'd like to refer the op-ed writer to the US Constitution. There are no "independent institutions" in the US government. There are some near-independent institutions, but eventually every institution takes its orders and gets its paychecks from either the SCOTUS, the Congress or the President. From that, the voters get to decide based on the persons they elect (Yes Virginia, elections do have consequences). The independent DOJ/FBI that Sally Yates referred to, when Trump "fired" her, is a myth. If you aren't elected, you don't get the ultimate decision on anything, except what other job you'd like in the private sector.

>>Would their Haiti scam qualify as human rights abuses?
Well Magnitsky was a Russian lawyer who was beaten to death in a Russian prison by Putin's thugs for the crime of investigating him on behalf of Bill Browder, an America finance dude who worked in Russia. Putin stole something like $300 million from Browder and Magnitsky was hired to help expose Putin and get the money back. Didn't work out that well. Browder was also the very first witness to testify in front of the Senate Intel Committee when this whole thing started and he told how Fusion GPS was hired to go after him by Putin and destroy his credibility. His testimony along with a Venezuelan human rights advocate was incredible. They didn't just try to ruin these guys lives with bad press, the broke into their homes and threatened their families so it could be Russian human rights abuses. This whole Russia thing is so intertwined with bad actors and Fusion always seems to be at the center of it along with Russia and Hillary. This really is a massive and very complex scandal that we are only getting to see the edges of right now.

"seize the assets of US people involved with human rights abuses and public corruption involving foreigners."
Aimed at the Foundation? Sounds quasi-RICO. The Foundation was a huge violation of campaign law. Foreign money came in, and was used to support an Admistration-in-waiting, pre-game Hillary's campaign and bribe key players like D super-delegates. Just follow the money, as Deep Throat would say.

I suspect they may try to make Ted appear somewhat sympathetic, judging from the scene where he goes to his father in anguish and says he doesn't know who he is, and his father whacks him across the face.
Honestly I wouldn't at all be surprised if that was not the case, that Teddy was not a political soul or a man who sought what he was forced into, was hapless and pathetic at it, and flailed around while being lauded for his incompetence.

Tapper has an undeserved rep as a balanced reporter because he's only 70/30 biased towards the Dems instead of the industry standard 95/5. Ever since Trump's election he has made one chickenshit excuse after another for not covering clear Dem malfeasance.
Posted by: Citizen Cake at December 21, 2017 06:31 PM (ppaKI He's not 70/30. He's 90/10. See he will occasionally ask a democrat a "tough" question but then he lets the dem give an answer. And it doesn't matter how worthless the answer is he will not ask for clarification or ask a follow up. Or it will be as ace has pointed out.

Ted really didn't want the role he was forced into, but he was too weak to stand up to his father and live the life he really wanted. And Ted was also quite cowardly, as he demonstrated in the Mary Jo Kopechne affair (and also later, when he resisted the insistent calls that he run for president, because he feared he might be assassinated like his brothers). After Joe died, Ted could have chosen a different course for himself, but as always, he lacked the courage to do so. The "lion of the Senate" was really just a big p*ssy.

There's a logic to keeping the conspiratorial group small. Bu then when it unravels you've got a Zelig like Sztrok popping up everywhere.

I understand the reluctance of the Congressional Republicans to get out ahead of the facts, BUT they have to realize that they must defeat the guard dogs of the Democrats in the media FIRST to get this scandal in front of the American people.
The only way to do that is to make your accusations clear, simple, and forceful - don't pull any punches. If/when Schiff starts wailing to the media, call him out for obstruction! Start talking about projection: that the Dems are accusing Trump of what they themselves are guilty of!
