Absolutely incredible press conference.

which was that, Jane? just tuning in

[Buckeye]

I'm not sure disbarment does it and maybe Clarice's Pikes and Lamposts were the right idea all along.

Not to mention brick walls and blindfolds:)

Good Morning, and say "Hey" to my dog walk buddies.

At last we are together again, daddy--loved last night's moose talk.

[daddy]

Rush in Hour 3 opens with the Strzok-Page leaks to the MSM per the John Solomon story in The Hill. Nothing earth shattering from Rush but decent coverage and good commentary to the EIB audience, particularly stressing the importance of finding out that it was the FBI all along doing the illegal leaking to the Press.

I loved this bit from John Solomon on Hannity last night so here it is again:

Solomon: I read through hundreds of these messages over the weekend. I walked away from them knowing one thing---I remember the moment in his Testimony when James Comey said "FBI Agents don't give a rip about politics, and they don't leak." After you read these messages you walk away thinking these 2 FBI Agents cared a lot about Politics, and they were monitoring the Media almost like they were a Press Office.

[Buckeye]

daddy, I suspect you are doing Google searches to find the "entertainment" pictures you post.

So I have to ask, what kind of advertisements does Google "push" to you:)

[Buckeye]

Second question.

How bad was the puncture wound?

[Clarice Feldman]

apparently Jane's reference to to the 40 minute presser of Trump (immigration) on Fox Business. which is getting rave reviews on FB

[daddy]

Morning, Clarice!

Haven't started catch-up yet, but nice to see Jane survived. Guess I'll save all my jokes about her croaking on the operating table for some other time:)

[Janeprobably about 10 minutes after getting there]

Trump just invited the press into a meeting with dems and republicans on DACA. IT WENT ON FOR about 45 minutes. Trumps negotiating skills were on full view. Anyone who thinks Trump is not stable only needs to watch that. It was fun and interesting and fabulous. You really should watch it to see how it's done if you don't know.

[daddy]

Buckeye,

On the Laptop I have the ads blocked. On the iPad I get a lot of animal ads from the SPCA sorts, and also a lot of ads to call such and such a Financial advisor stuff---As for the Russian gals or Chinese gals, they are very useful in helping me remember which side of the world I am on.

Rush says that he thinks this meeting with the TV cameras in the DACA meeting was to show the public that Trump is positive and intelligent and cooperative, and nothing whatever like the madman Wolff's book paints him as. Catch-up begins.

[Janeprobably about 10 minutes after getting there]

Harder than I thought Daddy and they left something in there so I have to walk around with a Bravo. Except I decided to go back to bed.

[Janeprobably about 10 minutes after getting there]

If that was the goal, he succeeded in spades.

[Manuel Transmission]

FBI: I called my bud whose dad was the HNIC, sorry SAIC for L.A. back in the late 50s - early 60s and his BIL who was recently SAIC in Chicago. My bud was also an agent out of school in the mid 60s before going out and making a lot of money. Anyway, I knew from previous conversations that he was spitting mad about the mess things are in at the Bureau.

Punchline: the working stiffs are mad as hell, but with that big of an organization, it is almost futile to raise a fuss. Bitching around the water cooler doesn't get you anywhere. Until recently, the IG was castrated and no sensible agent would have trusted a complaint going that way.

James D. The problem is that they're not enforced, because the people whose job it is to enforce them are the colleagues and coworkers and political allies of the people upon whom they need to be enforced.

I think that is pretty close to the mark.

bori: Becoming a whistleblower had its own problems as the Obama administration went after any whistleblowers. Risking loss of job or prison for disclosing information was a real consideration. So they are left with doing their jobs, filing their reports and hoping that they will not get buried somewhere.

I agree.

One last thing: Jim Kallstrom may be mad as hell now, but I have always been suspicious of his tenure what with the TWA800 fustercluck. Maybe he had a gun to his head by the Clintonistas and that led him to leave under a cloud by his own betrayal.

Has anyone seen a good take on why Feinstein released that transcript right when Nunes is receiving all the evidence from DoJ/FBI?

Aside from her generic evil nature?

[daddy]

4. Lisa Page stating: ..."Makes me feel WAY less bad about throwing him under the bus to the forthcoming CF article."... Indicates that DOJ/FBI lawyer Lisa Page was one of the sources for the Washington Post article.

I see from reviewing Lisa Page's texts to her boyfriend Strzok something revelatory that I did not notice last night but which confirms to me how obviously evil and demented she is: She resorts to typing in ALL CAPS for emphasis!!!

I had previously suspected that typing in ALL CAPS for emphasis was a hallmark of the criminally insane and she pretty much confirms me in that opinion. Anyone here disagree?

[Extraneus]

Ok, in answer to my question, it appears that Grassley is concerned that the release allows future witnesses to align their testimony to Simpson's, thus undermining the investigation.

Lots of tweets from Sean Davis here, too.

Speaking of out of sync----has the good doctor taken a look at some of the crazier facial expressions that H. Clinton has put forth over the course of the election. My guess would be no!!
Why do you think that is????? Hmmmmm.

[daddy]

From Ext's 03:03:

It's totally confounding that Senator Feinstein would unilaterally release a transcript of a witness interview in the middle of an ongoing investigation---a witness that Feinstein herself subpoenaed last year for lack of cooperation. Her decision was made without consulting Chairman Grassley even though he said he'd consult with her before releasing interview transcripts. But more importantly, Feinstein's unilateral decision was made as the committee is still trying to secure testimony from other witnesses, including Jared Kushner. Her action undermines the integrity of the committee's oversight work and jeopardizes it's ability to secure candid voluntary testimony relating to the independent recollections of future witnesses.

[daddy]

I WILL KEEEEEL YOU DADDY.

BREAKING: Former Idaho Lawmaker Commits Suicide After Sex Abuse Claims

Hixon is the second lawmaker under investigation for sex abuse to commit suicide recently.

Kentucky State Representative Dan Johnson, who was under investigation for alleged sexual molestation, committed suicide on December 13th.

Johnson posted what appears to be his suicide note on Facebook, in which he still maintained his innocence. He had previously called the allegations “part of a smear campaign against Republicans.”

[daddy]

Well Feinstein's action shows to all the world what an unprincipled partisan she is in trying to protect the Anti-Trump criminal Cabal, and it also frees Grassley to act in the same manner she has acted in future.

Judge Napolitano on with Shep telling Shep that Trump should not sit down with Mueller. Shep appears to not be happy about Nap's argument.

Judge Nap says he thinks Trump will screw up and decide to sit down and answer questions for Mueller because Judge Nap thinks that Trump knows Trump did nothing wrong and thinks Trump believes he can talk his way out of problems with Mueller, but Judge Nap strongly advises him not to do that since Mueller has 2 Grand Juries, one in Manhattan and one in DC, and he can pick whichever Grand Jury he wants to indict ham sandwich Trump for misstatements.

Bandy Lee approves of the straitjacket approach, and thinks the folded arms are a good step in that direction.

[Old Lurker]

I agree Iggy. Trump has nothing to lose with his supporters for not being interviewed, and he has the world to lose with a bunch of slippery gunslingers who are motivated to slay him and who have been, shall we say, shoddy in the past about legal formalities.

The only outcome that would be a win for Trump is if Mueller leaves the interview, goes to the camera and reports there is nothing whatsoever of concern with Trump. Odds of that: Negative gazzilion %. So Probability Theory calculates the Expected Value of the Outcome at Negative Gazillion.

No brainer.

[Extraneus]

I seriously doubt that Feinstein's antics are going to change anything. Nunes has all the evidence he's asked for, and gets the IG stuff by the 15th. The Senate investigation wasn't going anywhere because Grassley doesn't have subpoena power like Nunes does. Senate has to have agreement between chair and ranking member to issue subpoenas, and obviously Feinstein would have stonewalled any attempt to take down Democrats. Nunes doesn't need Schiff and can issue subpoenas by majority vote. Grassley's doing great for what he can, but Nunes can get results.

Jim Jordan on FOX Business talking the Strzok-Page leak E-Mails. Host David reads some new revelations and asks Jim Jordan for comments:

FOX Host David Feinstein releasing Simpson's testimony. What jumped out was Glen Simpson telling the committee that "an internal Trump campaign source" or "a human source from inside the Trump organization" reported his or her concerns to the FBI. Now to me what that says was that the FBI was actually spying on the Trump organization and working in cahoots with FUSION/GPS.

Rep Jim Jordan (R) Why would they tell Cristopher Steele that the FBI had another source, and then Steele tells Simpson and Simpson testifies "Oh, they had another source." That strikes me as extremely unusual and I would agree with you David and with your conclusion. It sort of points to this idea that the FBI was systematically and strategically leaking information to undermine the Trump Campaign and the Trump Presidency after he was elected, 'cause you know they did some of this during the transition between Election Day and Inauguration Day.

David: I want to remind our viewers that the Democratic Party paid for in large part the Dossier...million of dollars from the Hillary Campaign...to FUSION to pay for this report...it is almost as if the FBI was pushing this report as if it was a report from the FBI, so in a sense the FBI was working with the Democrat National Committee to push the Trump Dossier, and this is more evidence in fact that the FBI may have even had a source inside the Trump Organization, I mean this is spying on a Political Party on behalf of another Political party.

Jim Jordan; Why would the FBI relay information to Christopher Steele that they had a second source? And if they gave him that information to Chris Steele, the same guy as you point out who is getting paid by FUSION, who was paid by the Law Firm, who was paid by the Clinton Campaign, and he is the author of the Dossier. That is a fundamental problem...That is not supposed to be how it works in this country.

David: Peter Strzok's texts with his girlfriend...another one has come out (the WSJ article)...it sure looks like they were leaking Anti-Trump stuff

Jordan: Yeah. Remember there was the other message about "the Insurance Policy."...So part of their Insurance policy is not just the Dossier, it's what we just said, systematically, strategically leaking information, planting stories, almost a self fulfilling idea that we are going put stories out there to validate and legitimize certain points that we want to get out to the Public, that will undermine the Trump Campaign. That sure looks like what they did...Thats why we need a second Special Counsel which we have called on for months now.
------------------

Jordan finished by repeating that the 2 Fundamental questions was Did the FBI pay Steele for the Dossier, and was the Dosier used to get the FISA warrants, neither of which Wray, or Rosenstein, or Sessions will answer.

[Extraneus]

Nunes has the FISA warrants. Jordan is on the Judiciary Committee so he may not know what Nunes does.

[daddy]

Cool LIZ plays tape of former FBI guy Jim Kallstrom, that I had not yet seen.

Kallstrom: It's clear now that there was a conspiracy involving, I hate to say it, people in the FBI. Comey and his sycophants around him that have clearly talked about how their purpose in life was to stop Trump from getting Elected and if he got Elected to institute the Insurance Policy. And that Insurance Policy in my view, and I think the view of anyone reasonable who looks at it, was basically to have this fraud Investigation against Donald Trump.

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article193602684.html

[daddy]

Judge Napolitano's take on the same topic:

Liz: What's the implication in all this? What's going on?

Nap: The implication is the Public realization that Government Employees are the best leakers in the business, and the Justice Department, whether it's being done for political purposes, or to prejudice an audience, an array from whom Jurors will be taken against a defendant in a Criminal Prosecution, will leak to its heart's delight, whether it's Lawful or unLawful, whether it's Ethical or Un-Ethical, so though I am dismayed by this, I am not surprised and in some respect it is gratifying, because the Public needs to know about it. This is not a Left versus Right, this is not a Trump versus Hillary although in this case it apparently was, this is a culture in Government which defies the Rules that were written to regulate the Government.
