Leftwing Magazine The Nation: We Must Get to the Bottom of Spygate
It's written by Steve Cohen, who is, depending on how charitably you want to put it, either a longtime skeptic of the intelligence community and the US policy towards Russia or a Russian toady and Soviet sympathizer. But he's right in this:US Attorney General William Barr now proposes to investigate the origins of Russiagate. He has appointed yet another special prosecutor, John Durham, to do so, but the power to decide the range and focus of the investigation will remain with Barr. The important news is Barr's expressed intention to investigate the role of other US intelligence agencies, not just the FBI, which obviously means the CIA when it was headed by John Brennan and Brennan's partner at the time, James Clapper, then director of national intelligence. As I argued in The Nation, Brennan, not Obama’' hapless FBI Director James Comey, was the godfather of Russiagate, a thesis for which more evidence has since appeared. We should hope that Barr intends to exclude nothing, including the two foundational texts of the deceitful Russiagate narrative: the Steele Dossier and, directly related, the contrived but equally ramifying Intelligence Community Assessment of January 2017. (Not coincidentally, they were made public at virtually the same time, inflating Russiagate into an obsessive national scandal.) Thus far, Barr has been cautious in his public statements. He has acknowledged there was “spying,” or surveillance, on the Trump campaign, which can be legal, but he surely knows that in the case of Papadopoulos (and possibly of General Michael Flynn), what happened was more akin to entrapment, which is never legal. Barr no doubt also recalls, and will likely keep in mind, the astonishing warning Senator Charles Schumer issued to President-elect Trump in January 2017: "Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you." (Indeed, Barr might ask Schumer what he meant and why he felt the need to be the menacing messenger of intel agencies, wittingly or not.) But Barr's thorniest problem may be understanding the woeful role of mainstream media in Russiagate. As Lee Smith, who contributed important investigative reporting, has written: "The press is part of the operation, the indispensable part. None of it would have been possible…had the media not linked arms with spies, cops, and lawyers to relay a story first spun by Clinton operatives." How does Barr explore this "indispensable" complicity of the media in originating and perpetuating the Russiagate fraud without impermissibly infringing on the freedom of the press? Ideally, mainstream media--print and broadcast--would now themselves report on how and why they permitted intelligence officials, through leaks and anonymous sources, and as “opinion” commentators, to use their pages and programming to promote Russiagate for so long, and why they so excluded well-informed, nonpartisan alternative opinions. Instead, they have almost unanimously reported and broadcast negatively, even antagonistically, about Barr’s investigation, and indeed about Barr personally. (The Washington Post even found a way to print this: "William Barr looks like a toad...") Such is the seeming panic of the Russiagate media over Barr's investigation, which promises to declassify related documents, that The New York Times again trotted out its easily debunked fiction that public disclosures will endanger a purported US informant, a Kremlin mole, at Putin’s side. Finally, but most crucially, what was the real reason US intelligence agencies launched a discrediting operation against Trump? ... We are left, then, with this paradox, formulated in a tweet on May 24 by the British journalist John O'Sullivan: "Spygate is the first American scandal in which the government wants the facts published transparently but the media want to cover them up."

Of course Greenwald and The Nation want to cover this. This scandal could clear out a -lot- of dead wood in both parties, which would firmly put outsider socialists in charge of the Dems. The coalition of deep staters and the lefties who hate them is not stable enough to survive the coming crucible.

Not first!
But I have listened to Cohen on John Batchelor - he gives him an hour every week to discuss Russia and US issues. Despite what Mark Levin may say, Cohen is reasonable - he is in effect an old time liberal, and is out of step with the new socialists. Surprising, considering his wife is the chief editor, Katerina whatshername, from The Nation.
Its how the current landscape of politics is changing. The communists are here. Russia is really not the threat. But re Tucker Carlson, overweening capitalism (or Corporatism) led by the Deep State and the Chamber of Commerce, is.
Strange days....

"How does Barr explore this "indispensable" complicity of the media in originating and perpetuating the Russiagate fraud without impermissibly infringing on the freedom of the press?"
As he explores each of the government officials and what they did, he quite openly states exactly what the media did in concert with them. There may not be any legal repercussions to the media, but whatever is Left now of their credibility and integrity would be destroyed.
(I can see them, lying in bed at night, trying to get that voice out of their heads so that they can sleep: "You are fake news." And the voice of Orange Man Bad, the accent of an extra from Guys and Dolls, won't stop.)

I don't understand what is taking so long.
All you would need is the fully redacted first FISA warrant.
It would be akin to receiving the Rosetta Stone.
You could easily perform the necessary back dating of the underlying info to see how and when this whole illegitimate and illegal affair got started.
But I still don't fully trust Barr, I just see this as more frustration through investigation.

In addition to FusionGPS, thing this is where the Clinton Foundation and the DNC emails come in.
As with FusionGPS, you have to follow the money (CF grants, seminars, etc.) as well as the coordination between campaign and party people and the MSM (see: Maggie Haberman, Glen whatshisfedora, etc.)

Yeah, the Executive was uniformly against disclosure in the Obama years. It was the Omerta Administration.

Oh, you can add Lisa Jackson's doing Govt business as 'Richard Windsor', the James Risen thing, and we haven't even gotten to Hillary's mailserver which remember went live THE DAY BEFORE SHE TOOK OFFICE AS SecState.
And lest I forget, the thing that convinced me Obama or at least his coterie expected to be in power forever, the voiding of the plea bargain with the Philly New Black Panthers over voter intimidation.

Sorry - missed this. I listen to all of Batchelor's weekly output. Cohen may be off track on some things, but I think he is honest and not insane in his views. He does give Russia more benefit of the doubt than they sometimes deserve, and is a Russian apologist, but he has been right on for several years about what is happening re the deep state.
Again, Russia is not our enemy. They have a GDP the size of Italy. Yes, they have nukes, but I don't go to sleep fearing that they will launch an attack. They have a sphere of influence where they want to be preeminent. We push back. Frankly, we should be less involved there and let Europe handle it if they fear the ruskies (which I don't think they really do - it's a good sledgehammer to hit trump). If Eastern Europe doesn't want Russia interfering, they need to build a strong coalition (which we can be part of) and take the lead. Won't happen while the EU is there oppressing them.
I view the EU as more dangerous than Russia... They want to destroy Europe and socialize it. Russia isn't interested in that anymore, but the seeds the Soviets left have borne their evil fruit, here and in Europe, and we have to deal with them like the vermin they are...

Has anyone pointed out anything in the Barr interview with the CBS woman, who is an actual journalist, that is so awful? Just asking if they've even attempted to give a reason that Barr is so horrible.
Also, why aren't the Republicans in the Senate summoning Mueller to testify? I really hope he doesn't get away with saying, screw you Congress, I'm not answering any of your questions. And the media was strangely satisfied with not asking any questions.

Dragged away crying, in handcuffs and orange jumpsuits, never to be seen or heard from again. And that includes the traitors who pushed on with this coup through the "investigation", which was a known sham from the beginning.

the Free Press should be no more (legally) able to spread lies, or especially to spread political propaganda
-- than should prosecutors be able to fake evidence and suborn perjury to frame innocent men or companies (e.g. Arthur Anderson).
Why did Weissman need to destroy legit Arthur Anderson (and some 85k jobs)? My theory, some oligarchs don't want companies that are not flexible on GAAP, and really prefer two sets of books and lots of wiggle room. ... Because corporate media, corporate finance companies are another leg of this evil leviathan.

If I was an "End of Days Type" (I'm a believer, but think that humanity's story is just beginning) it would be easy to point out who is on the side of evil in the coming Apocalypse. Regretfully, there are a lot of people on both sides who haven't taken the red pill yet. The majority of DC is the enemy of all Americans, and they have us at each others throats. I blame the R's slightly less than the Demonrats (thank you Paul Ryan, who was worse than Boner, who I think would have worked with Trump).
I'm totally with Ace about the National Divorce (I was thrown off Red State in 2012 for saying we were heading in that direction). I would prefer Levin's (or Instapundit's, or the many others who have called for it before Mark got on that bandwagon) Convention of States. Yes, its potentially deadly. But it might be the only way to avoid the Divorce, which will be messy, with many thrown plates, broken pieces of furniture, and the cops being called for disorderly conduct.

They are opposed to every single moral and legal principle the Founders laid out in the Constitution and their stated goal is to destroy our nation from within and install their version of Socialism in its place. Whenever you hear the term "progressive values," know that you're hearing your enemy.
They hate this country and everyone in it who isn't one of them. They must be purged from our body politic and from society or they will take over from within. They are our self-identified enemies and need to be treated as such.

As others have said, Barr's only "action" WRT the media will be to lay out the facts - whatever's left of the civic culture, standards, or common sense will have to take care of the rest.
Yeah, I know. But true.
On the evergreen topic of media as neutral vs. media as partisans, it's hard to put into a snappy slogan or gross generalization, but there *was*, very much, a watchdog or effectively neutral role of the press in modern times, that has almost completely abandoned [it still exists in the "new" media, and corners of the old].
The Barr interview. There's an example of what used to be common.
Many may not be old enough to recall how Roger Mudd, in one interview, ended Ted Kennedy's [already ridiculous, and purely inertial] presidential quest. Bill Clinton didn't get enough help from the press to avoid being seen as a corrupt, scandal-drenched incompetent - for those paying attention [remember the farcical first wave of abortive cabinet appointments, one after the other being torpedoed by media frenzy?].
When Reagan was at the very apex of the Cold War struggle with the Russians, with nukes very much in the spotlight, who became a key State Dept. arms control official? The NYT' s Washington national security correspondent. Uh huh. Imagine anything like that being possible today.
Things *have* changed, they *were* very different, and over-generalizing about there never having been a real press is incorrect and understates the problem today.

A couple of times in the Republic's history, there have been shifts where the two sides basically switched. If we are inclined to wonder how that could have happened, we are witnessing it right now. Basically, the natural drift of history and institutions is "leftward," or towards resistance and the many forms of totalitarianism that it produces, all predicated on Utopia. Eventually that drift will facilitate to a flanking maneuver.

When the FBI walks a writ to FISA who double-checks what the FBI submits?
Posted by: JEM
It's supposed to be the FBI General Counsel. Who was bypassed for the FISA warrant on Carter Page.
And the FBI General Counsel at the time (James Baker) is dirty too. He's starting to sing because he sees where this is going.
In my view, the jury is out on the FISA courts. Presumably they have to act on the information provided to them by the FBI. If the FBI swears itself blue that their allegations are on the up and up, I don't see what alternative a FISA judge has other to accept their representation. He's in no position to investigate their claims.

123 I'm totally with Ace about the National Divorce (I was thrown off Red State in 2012 for saying we were heading in that direction). I would prefer Levin's (or Instapundit's, or the many others who have called for it before Mark got on that bandwagon) Convention of States. Yes, its potentially deadly. But it might be the only way to avoid the Divorce, which will be messy, with many thrown plates, broken pieces of furniture, and the cops being called for disorderly conduct.

Joe's right.
Opening up the sick patient, the USA as it exists, to rework the Constitution will not go in our favor, I think. It would be a pork rush to rival the land rush of Oklahoma.
I don't have an answer except to say one will be forced to submit to the other. It will be us kneeling or it will be them. No other solution seems workable. We can't divorce on regional basis, nor on a county level.
Divorce would just kick the can down the road and make the eventual war all the worse.
There are probably 5,000 to 50,000 assholes who need to die. And if they do, the Republic can recover.

one decent theory is that the globalist cabal is a threat to all nation states, especially if they get (even more) control of the US Superpower.
Macron and Merkel are fully on board with their own globalist division in the EU, and Hillary/Kerry/Jarret seemed to be hand in glove with them.
But Russia ... probably not. In that sense it is possible Putin did prefer Trump, but then again, he was getting control of US with Uranium One (cornering the market, sort of) ... the same way Putin had leverage over Europe via natural gas (and oil I guess).
But I don't know where all these covert ops are heading ... some say we need a Russia/India/US alliance, not a China/Pakistan/US alliance ... I don't know that much about geo-political force structure to have a solid opinion ... except the former seems more Western.

They don't seem much different than Stalinists to me. Not much at all.
It's a distinction without much of a difference. Socialists, Communists, Progressives, Stalinists, Maoists, they're all just minor variations on the theme of central control with them at the top of everything.
All of them are our enemies. We'd better start dealing with them as the enemies they are or we're going to dearly regret not doing so. Look at the damage they've already done to academia and mass media.
I have only one message to them: Fuck you. War.

Her father was shot trying to keep his muslim friends and coworkers from being slaughtered (he was the serbian manager and chief engineer of the local coal mine). While visiting his grave, my wife pointed out the young brothers who were hunted in the hills and murdered by the Bosniak (i.e., muslim) Yugoslavs, the long couple burned in their house, etc. It got ugly and left devastation in its wake that they haven't even come close to getting over.
By the way, when the US went over there, they had no problem "moving" mass amounts of Serbians around the country, taking them from their homes, and then handing those homes and properties over the the new Bosnian govt as a primary muslim area. I think this was part of Bill trying to suck up the the Muslim world, and it didn't work...

For those of you who say the MSM is losing power/control, think again.
There was a story in the NYT recently about tax cuts, showing the comparison of people who got a cut vs people who think they got a cut. 90% of earners over $100K got a cut, but only 45% think they got a cut.
The MSM only focused on the new SALT caps, and 1/2 the population now thinks they pay more even though the pay less tax. The MSM's power to persuade public opinion hasn't decreased at all.

No, it won't.
Successful impeachment and a failure to get conviction in the Senate is something I'm not sure the activist left thinks much about.
It's possible that they don't know that the Senate would play a roll in the process at all, and they believe that a House impeachment vote would be the literal end of Trump.
Maybe, in some twisted way, it would convince the activist left to fight harder for the Senate, but if the acquittal vote ends up something like 55-45 (a couple of Democrats voting for acquittal), it becomes the question of what good came of this? What composition of the Senate will lead to conviction?

No, it won't.
Successful impeachment and a failure to get conviction in the Senate is something I'm not sure the activist left thinks much about.
It's possible that they don't know that the Senate would play a roll in the process at all, and they believe that a House impeachment vote would be the literal end of Trump.
Maybe, in some twisted way, it would convince the activist left to fight harder for the Senate, but if the acquittal vote ends up something like 55-45 (a couple of Democrats voting for acquittal), it becomes the question of what good came of this? What composition of the Senate will lead to conviction?

No, I think you may have missed my satirical point.
The comment was in response to the idea that D/R's switched in the 60s. If that's the case, then modern day Republicans would revere Wilson/FDR and modern day Democrats would revere Calvin Coolidge.
The idea of the switch is just a dumb way for Democrats to claim more moral authority from the Civil Rights Act (which more Republicans voted for than Democrats proportionally) and to lay claim to Lincoln.

Cause that's what would happen if the Democrats managed to pass impeachment in the House.

They'll keep playing footsie with the idea without ever pulling the trigger, providing their base with a healthy case of blue balls just in time for the election.

But - they've got their NPC mob whipped into a bloodthirsty frenzy, shooting Congressmen, lighting themselves on fire, hitting people with bike locks, burning things, attacking Senators at their homes, smashing storefronts, stealing Congressional data, doxxing people, "milkshaking" them, faking hate crimes, jumping people for wearing MAGA hats, and on and on and on.

Yes. In spite of all the "democratic socialist" babble that's getting much more attention/regard than it merits, the Democratic establishment is no different than the GOP establishment in this regard.
Simply put, AOC and her ilk are the left's Tea Party, and their movement will be smothered in the crib if it jeopardizes House control or Biden's victory.

Hypothetical alt-history question. It's the 1840's here in the US. The southern states make it clear that they have no interest in expanding the institution of slavery to new territories or acquiring more territory into which slavery can be extended. Does the US eventually have a civil war?
Because it seems to me that the Left is behaving like the South. The South came to call slavery a positive benefit, they agitated for conquest to provide more territory, they wanted slaves in the territory already acquired, they wanted a resumption of the slave trade. The Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, all of these failed to placate southern slaveholders, who always wanted more and more.

Hadrian: in your alternate history, no. No civil war. The expansion of slavery into the territories, or south into Mexico, was what made slavery into a crisis.
HOWEVER, viewing people as portable property, there would be nothing stopping slave owners from transporting their slaves to new homes in California or Oregon or anywhere else.
So we're back to human nature and the idea of the black man not being a man....but property.

Yeah, they had no problem moving people around in Bosnia. When it comes time, the "correct" people (I won't use the term right, iykwimaiktyd) will do what they think is necessary.
So we basically have a few choices. Roll the dice on trying to fix the problems we have with a CoS, Divorce, or CW2. Maybe keep on doing what we are doing know, with conservatives and Normals being stomped down by corporate America (really People Soft? have they not heard of tortious interference?) but I think cold CW leads to CW2.
It'll mean a lot of dead on all sides. I have read how some of the crazier leftist groups actually send some of their folks overseas and get them involved in local wars. I wish I could remember where, I'd post it. But we may laugh at Antifa, but they are dead serious, the same way the Brown Shirts were almost a century!! ago. I remember growing up around the men of WW2, and how we heard about liberty, and how it could never happen here. They were wrong..

The infants on Yahoo were trying to mock her. Her one outfit they claimed looked like a flight attendant (it looked very stylish to me) and the white outfit and hat they were wondering if she realized that she looked like Eliza Doolittle. So typical of the brainless twats at Yahoo

[Scribbles furiously] So the squirrel is blinking because it humped a pumpkin twice that day?

Robert Conquest credited SF Cohen in his seminal book The Great Terror. No idea why, but there it is.
MSNBC used to invite Cohen's husband, Katrina van USSR, to help the hosts of various shows run America down - until Obama's Ukraine adventurism put a stop to it

118 Russia isn't interested in that anymore, but the seeds the Soviets
left have borne their evil fruit, here and in Europe, and we have to
deal with them like the vermin they are...
They are America's Public Enemy Number One.
They need to be identified and treated as such. They call themselves "Progressives." In reality, they are Global Socialists who live here in the US. They are opposed to every single moral and legal principle the Founders laid out in the Constitution and their stated goal is to destroy our nation from within and install their version of Socialism in its place. Whenever you hear the term "progressive values," know that you're hearing your enemy.
---------
George Soros is the primary financial source to keep these traitors running.
Soros is an out and out enemy of America. Why is that evil loser still alive?

"Hypothetical alt-history question. It's the 1840's here in the US. The
southern states make it clear that they have no interest in expanding
the institution of slavery to new territories or acquiring more
territory into which slavery can be extended. Does the US eventually
have a civil war?"
Slave holders were well aware of the contradiction between slavery and the principles of the Declaration. The only way they could reconcile them was to declare that black people were somehow less than fully human and that their enslavement was a positive good for them. Having taken the position that slavery was a positive good, the South was compelled to push for its acceptance - anything less would mean accepting that it was somehow other than good. Ultimately, maintenance of the lie compelled the South into its catastrophic decision to secede.
So, as long as slavery existed among us, a war was inevitable. It was just a matter of when, and how.
