This is not a story our legacy media wants to explore but a guest piece at the Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News gives the 'Russian hack or DNC leak' question some exposure:
Will special counsel Mueller examine the DNC server, source of the great Russiagate caper?
Following the early leaks during the Democratic convention:
Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s public relations chief, said in a Washington Post essay in March that she worked assiduously during the Democratic nominating convention to “get the press to focus on … the prospect that Russia had not only hacked and stolen emails from the DNC, but that it had done so to help Donald Trump and hurt Hillary.”
Thus was laid the cornerstone of the Trump-Russia-collusion conspiracy theory.
Since then, the mainstream media have created a climate of hysteria in which this unsubstantiated theory has been conjured into accepted truth. This has resulted in investigations by Congress and a special counsel into President Trump, his family, and his campaign staff for supposed collusion with the Russians.
But in their frenzied coverage, the media have downplayed the very odd behavior of the DNC, the putative target of the alleged hack. For, when the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI learned of the hacking claim, they asked to examine the server. The DNC refused. Without explanation, it continues to deny law enforcement access to its server.
Author George Parry recaps the allegations recently featured in The Nation.
My guess - the Washington establishment has a bipartisan interest in derailing Trump, aided by a wildly sympathetic media. If the story starts to move in a direction that makes the FBI, the Democrats, and the media look like cynical opportunists, well, everyone will quietly move on.

Nice to see that The Newseum in DC is bleeding cash as bad as the Anchorage Daily Newspaper: NYTIMES: Newseum’s Leader Resigns Amid Review of Finances
It's a lousy story which actually tells us nothing about the specifics of why the Leader is resigning---mismanagement? theft? Gross incompetence?
Beats me. I am sure if he was a Republican we'd be reading about all sorts of suspicious financial activity. What it proves though is that the NYTimes can, when they want to, write a story without defaming someone if that person's name isn't Sarah Palin or Donald Trump. Regardless, this bit cheers me up:
In large part, the Newseum gets support from the Freedom Forum, a nonprofit that focuses on First Amendment advocacy and education.
The Newseum’s struggles were draining the Freedom Forum’s coffers, said Jan Neuharth, chairwoman and chief executive of the foundation.
“It has become obvious that the current model — where the Freedom Forum is the primary funder of the Newseum — cannot continue indefinitely at this level,” Ms. Neuharth said in a statement. “Left unchecked, this deficit spending rate would eventually drain the Freedom Forum’s entire endowment, and the annual cash drain prevents us from allocating any new capital to First Amendment programs that are at the heart of our educational mission.”
In their statement, the Freedom Forum’s leaders said the board might consider “a possible outright sale” of the large building in downtown Washington
I'm losing no sleep at all about that poisonous monument to our dishonest Fourth Estate going bankrupt---And take the Washington correspondents dinner with you.

Jan Neuharth must be Al Neuharth’s widow. Al is the one who hijacked -- er, got Gannett -- to donate a crapton of Gannett stock to a foundation headed by ... Al Neuharth.
He used the foundation to live off of, using the “Free Spirit” purpose of the foundation.
Grifter extra-ordinaire because he did it in public, in front of newspapers, and didn’t give a sh*t.

Some highlights from Narciso's 01:03 on Awan Imran.
---A former IT aide suspected of stealing equipment and data from Congress still has an active, secret email account on the House computer system...Authorities apparently did not realize Awan has a second account that is not linked to his identity. While his main email address began rejecting mail after it was shut down, the 123 address was still accepting mail Tuesday.
---Awan’s still-active email address is linked to... Indiana Democratic Rep. André Carson...ranking member of the House intelligence subcommittee...A spokeswoman for Carson, Jessica Gail, did not express concern or surprise when contacted by TheDCNF about Awan’s still-active email address...
---A Democratic IT aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of job concerns, told TheDCNF that Awan and Carson used to play video games together in Carson’s office
It would be impossible to make this stuff up.

Rich and GUS,
I still can't figure out why Trey Gowdy told Maria Bartiromo he had never heard of the Awan Imran IT case. That shocked me. He had to have heard about it. He was straight-face lying about not knowing about it and I want to know why. I doubt we'll ever find out why but I sure want to know why.
But consider this. If Awan had successfully escaped, he would still have an active top secret E-Mail address to the House of Reps via Dem Rep Andre Carson. Nobody would have ever been looking for it since they reportedly only found out about it 2 days ago. He would have gotten away Scot free, yet still have been able to do all that dirty Intel crap he was doing against US interests for the last 20 years. Our National Security incompetence is mind boggling.
And I'd also bet money that he and his brothers have more active secret back door web accounts accessing our House Intel computers this very minute than we know about. Why not. He's had 20 years to install them and 6 months advance notice to ensure they are well hidden. Unbelievable.

Empathy! EMPATHY?
That was when I turned off my Fox live feed yesterday.
You know who has empathy? Someone who gives up a billionaire's lifestyle, his home, his business and spends almost two years and his own money running for the presidency, risking his family, his fortune, and his very LIFE to save this country and help the millions of people the people like Ari Fleischer never give a thought about.
President Trump has a surplus in his empathy account, and as far as I am concerned if he never sheds a tear in public or hugs a single storm victim, he is way ahead of those career politicians who ran this country off the rails.
Deeds, not words.

I am posting this article from Axios only to provide an example of why you should NEVER credit this web site with anything except democrat propaganda:
https://www.axios.com/trumps-tax-speech-light-on-substance-heavy-on-populism-2479335126.html
You won't learn anything new about the secretly-negotiated details of the Republican tax plan, when President Trump visits a manufacturing company in Springfield, Missouri.
Got that? You won't learn anything, so you probably shouldn't waste your time watching. And the deal was SECRETLY negotiated.
Even though Trump's early tax plans largely follow Republican orthodoxy — major, across-the-board tax cuts — he'll be selling it like Huey Long.
It's a boring plan. But he will SELL IT LIKE HUEY LONG!! Yep, insert scary racist populist characterization.
(He's genuinely enthusiastic about tax cuts whereas he never was with health reform. Whether he can remain focused, however, and avoid detours into rants about "fake news" and his myriad enemies, is another question.)
Do we have any evidence he wasn't enthusiastic about health care reform? No. This is just thrown in there to ascribe blame to President Trump instead of Congress. Note also that any attacks on media (which they deserve) is described as not being focused and there's that hint he's unstable again.
I only pulled 3 quotes from this article, but I felt that I should take the time to do this, because the DC media uses Axios to spread their narrative by citing them like they are a reliable source.
I will be watching the speech today. I like to hear things for myself, without the filter.

For example, a hyperlink in the editori8al contradicted the text of the editorial, leading many commenters to argue that this showed recklessness. But to the contrary, the court considered the hyperlink the equivalent of a footnote, presuming it constituted disclosure of the material.

Laws are for little people though.

bubarooni, my firm has a payroll / HR cloud service. I know the HIPAA routine. It is brutal.

The Marine in that interview above said that he was dumbfounded that all of these foreign nationals (the Aswan family) got high-paying jobs when there were veterans, Americans, who could have handled those jobs.
I am of the opinion that many of those democrats were not victims, but were co-conspirators.

I see Ari Fleischer was on Fox this morning using the firetruck appearance with the Texas flag to say that the president had, indeed, shown empathy.
What I think happened is that Fox and Ari got a boatload of tweets and emails telling them they were full of beans.

Cannot keep up. Will be MIA rest of the day. Orientation at Frederick's HS plus more football practice, parents reception.
Here in The Hamptons, the Classic (equestrian) is underway and we have more than a touch of fall. below 60F again waking up and rain.
If its earth shattering send me an email.
Cheers,

The U.S. has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years. Talking is not the answer!

"I still can't figure out why Trey Gowdy told Maria Bartiromo he had never heard of the Awan Imran IT case."
My guess is that he didn't want to have to answer questions about it. Either he was unprepared or thought it might go somewhere embarrassing.

Jack,
Best wishes on Frederick's transition into high school. He is the same age as my youngest granddaughter, who is shopping this week for a dress to wear to the Homecoming dance! (Boy, does that make me feel old!)

Even Chaffetz is outraged by the FBI rejection of the Curb Dive FOIA request. Does someone want to wake up Elmer Fudd on this?

After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY? All I want to do is #MAGA!
=====================================
Let's see, who are the dying magazines?
Time and Newsweek?
National Review and Weekly Standard?
Vogue?

How come you don't get the grief I get for questioning Sessions?

NPR attacked Olsteen this morning. His church should have had its act (and PR) together before hand, since they had to have known they'd be attacked by the MSM.

OL,
Because I hadn't seen the comment yet.
I am of the opinion that there is a lot going on behind the scenes, being monitored by a small group of people who are not leaking.
The denial of FOIA on Hillary is a smokescreen, in my opinion.

Reports of cannibalism among npr staff could not be confirmed at this moment, although David sagals leg hanging from Charlie pierces mouth was very suggestive.
