NBC might want to have their broadcasters do five minutes of homework before parading their ignorance.

OTOH, Katie Couric knows nothing about The Netherlands and is probably ineducable.

sbw,
I am of the opinion that if the FBI and other organizations cannot be abolished and reformed (due to democrats in Congress) then they ought to be reorganized, with different divisions moved to different cities. For example, move organized crime to Indianapolis, human trafficking to Salt Lake City, etc.
First of all, many employees wouldn't want to relocate so there would be some attrition. Secondly, conspiracies like we are discovering would be more difficult without the ability to have secret, in-person meetings. They would have to communicate by telephone and email, which could be monitored.

For those who are impatient, here is an explanation from a poster on Conservative Treehouse about what the administration is doing with these scandals:
Many K-12 teachers (myself included) use a backwards design method when creating a unit lesson plan. You start at the end by identifying what students need to know- then you plot a sequence of lessons to reach that end.
First, you explain the ‘big picture’ (Obama wire-tapped Trump and his campaign). Then, you ‘activate prior knowledge’ and discuss with students what they already know before introducing the new information (Snowden/Wikileaks revealed that the government spies on American citizens). Each day, as you present new information, you connect it to what they already know including the information from each previous lesson. Gradually, you build the foundation to arrive at the ‘big picture’.
The strategy we are witnessing is a carefully crafted lesson plan. To be successful, it can move only at a pace that ensures all previous information has been retained before adding new revelations. We become impatient since we already know the path to the big picture— (We;ve taken this class here at the Treehouse with our teacher, Sundance)
We have to keep in mind that class is in session for the public and we have to be absolutely certain that they (the public) will pass the final exam.
I thought this was an excellent analogy and explains the slow pace, which is difficult for those of us who already have jumped ahead to the ending.

He seems like a genuinely decent guy who seldom if ever injects objectionable crud in his comments.
But every so often when he's called on for commentary he starts waxing poetic like Jack Whittaker on human growth hormone. Whittaker himself used to belabor his pseudo eloquence trying to romanticize guys chasing little white balls around a field with a stick or guys punching each other in the face to such an extent I wanted to punch Jack in the face.
Heywood Hale Broun was the only guy I could take doing that stuff and a little Heywood went a long way himself.

From Mirengoff at PowerLine:
With Brand’s departure, here is what the top echelon of the Department of Justice looks like:
Deputy Attorney General – Rod Rosenstein
Associate Attorney General – vacant
Solicitor General – Noel Francisco
Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, National Security Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Environmental Division – vacant, nomination pending
Assistant Attorney General, Tax Division – vacant
He links a Christian Adams piece that claims that the vacant positions are all currently "occupied" by Obama holdovers. Not sure how that can be, but obviously the DoJ lib bureaucrats aren't being properly supervised.

Both Loretta Lynch and John Kerry (then SOS) were briefed on the the dossier, the opened investigation by the FBI, etc.
This was in response to Maria asking if Hillary or Obama were aware of what was going on.
Nunes then said that he thought everyone in DC knew if they weren't Republicans or the general public.

I felt bad for him years ago when he interviewed Bill Russell and Russ, who can be a real prick at times, pointedly ignored Tirico trying to shake hands which Mike handled with professional dignity by acting as if nothing had happened. He worked well with Hubie Brown in terms of setting him up for explanations of what happened in a way that doesn't detract from the current action. Back when Jack Ramsey was still alive I'd mute the annoying ABC team and listen to Tirico, Hubie and Dr Jack on ESPN radio.

Is the FBI slow-walking White House clearances and holding back information until it can be used to damage Trump?
I recall dozens if not hundreds of the incoming Clinton Admin staffers having no clearances or background checks, and taking it all as a big laugh in the face of concerned citizens. Yet now, "Stop the presses!", we're supposed to be all concerned about incomplete Background checks on Trump Administrative staff? BS. When did the Left give a single damn about anybody in the Obama or Clinton Admin not having their completed background checks. Anybody recall former bar bouncer Craig Livingstone and FBI Filegate? Hello?
That they are making such a big stink about it simply highlights once again their hypocrisy, and the fact of how desperate they are to keep us from looking at the deep state corruption that is slowly being revealed each and every day.
Morning, Clarice, nice Pieces and great links. Keep 'em coming.
Posted by: daddy on iPad | February 11, 2018 at 10:58 AM
daddy,
My particular concern is that staffers who have stuff in their backgrounds which might prohibit a clearance are having their backgrounds slow-walked through the FBI so that, like Porter, something bad in their background can suddenly be publicized.
I personally think this is an effort to get rid of Kelly, and they dems don't give a damn about Porter or domestic violence.
One of Porter's ex-wives went to the FBI ovear a year ago! Why didn't someone in the FBI contact the White House immediately to alert them? Porter could have been sidelined until the facts were ascertained. Instead, the information sat at the FBI until last October or November.
THAT is what I don't understand, except in the context of using it as political ammo.

The only way this was ever going to get to the point of a 2nd special counsel and prosecutions is by slowly informing the public, which has the attention span of a tween girl, of what went on and the drop the bomb on them in the form of the IG report. Public opinion matters. That's part of what Nunes and others are doing when they speak publicly, trying to get people to react and put increasing pressure on this situation.

From Ext's 12:59 link titled "Mueller and Rosenstein Tried to Get Manafort’s Case Thrown Out – They Know It Will End Corrupt Special Counsel:"
...Mueller never should have taken on the job in the first place due to numerous conflicts. He is best friends with fired leaker and former FBI Director James Comey. He met with Comey shortly before Comey testified with Congress and for this alone he should have recused himself..
I wonder if we ever do get both Comey and Mueller under oath, and have somebody ask some real questions of the 2, if they'll agree that they discussed who Mueller should have on his Investigative Team as SC? If Comey said he recommended these guys and Mueller approved them, then Comey continues to come off as totally dirty and Mueller comes off as a stooge, as a complicit partisan, or as an idiot. If Mueller says he picked them all on his own he comes across as a partisan and an idiot, just not as a stooge. Regardless his answer, Mueller looks terrible whatever comes out of his mouth, but I'd love to get the answer to that question under Oath from these 2 shitheads and see what develops.

in the Manafort case it seems likely the Mueller team didn't even start with 2016 Russia Collusion (easily enough with the Trump Tower meeting) they went directly at his lobbying efforts on behalf of the Ukarine, and oddly, if that is within the scope all the Podestas should be charged along with Manafort.

I don't like the phony tweets either, but I don't trust anyone to censor my news.
Particularly when they have made it clear they have an agenda.

I believe the operative phrase is "They don't give a rip about politics!"

When I bought my piano about 14 years ago, I would play this song to test out pianos.
Beautiful rendition -Peter! Who here at JOM isn't a musician in their past life? What's the matter with 'em? I recommend we send JOM's non-musicians to Clarice's room for a good spanking by her dad!

I miss playing classical music and being in an orchestra.
Wasn't until I was much older that I realized that the imposed discipline was a good thing.

"Obama's name is starting to enter the discussion"
When they start getting close to him, look for a flurry of govt emps being thrown to the wolves in hope that the investigators will be appeased.
