When Trust is Gone...

Was Crossfire Hurricane launched as part of an entrapment exercise to take out insurance against a Trump Presidency? I have no idea if this is true but it certainly strikes me as plausible, which is an alarming comment on my cynicism at a minimum and public distrust of our 'establishment' at worst.

Well. I have sounded this kazoo before.

A simple rhetorical question for anyone who believes Rosenstein is part of the Deep State trying to coverup the criminal corruption of the Obama administration.

If the following is correct...

“It is remarkable how this Justice Department is protecting the corruption of the Obama Justice Department,” notes Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, which is suing the DOJ for the material.

... then explain why Trump doesn't immediately declassify all the Top Secret info and order the DOJ to give it to Congress?

[Jim Eagle]

Well, I just found out that I had completed a small chapter 17. This is where we left off.

Ernie Souchak woke in a cold sweat. He had been dreaming and falling in and out of sleep. How to get out of this place and why was he still there? From his small calendar on the desk in his room it appears he had even missed Christmas and New Years. If the calendar was right, he may have also missed Easter. That didn’t bother him as much as the forced internment and the steel door for his room with the heavy double lock that was inescapable.

Whenever, they would bring his meals, they were quiet. He would ask questions but there was deadly silence. In fact, deadly being an understatement. He had no idea where he was and who had put him in this room. At one time he thought he heard that some muffled talk outside but he wasn’t certain since he couldn’t even tell if there was an outside. The room’s window was a good 12 feet up on the wall about 3 feet below the very high ceiling.

What it sounded like, and he couldn’t even imagine if true, was that Trump had been elected President. That reality could be his salvation since Trump was the antithesis to the Podesta people and their candidate, Hillary Clinton. Hell, he had a young family, with a 10 year old son. He would be inclined to not discount the pedophile rumors, and could launch an investigation. Plus, if he remembered, Trump was a ‘Firster’, not a globalist.

If only he had some idea what was next but he didn’t, and lately there had been no further news or developments of Pizzagate as he was calling it in his fevered mind. Someone, if not him, had to find a way into the bowels of this callous and disturbing ring of pedophilia and child trafficking that wound its way all the way up to the White House. Hell maybe all the way to Bilderberg and Davos, he thought.

If that was the case, he needed to start thinking of how the hell he could get out, and do the job no one else wanted to do – go dark and deep into the monster. Time to find his way to Rehoboth and this time, actually get there. The latest news was just more of an incentive for him to get the evidence to bring to the authorities and have this cancer removed from society.

But it won’t be easy, and he recognized that ever since the acrimonious divorce from his wife due to his known spousal abuse, he had grown lonelier, more depressed and more paranoid. That coupled with his obsessive-compulsive disorder was a recipe for a personal disaster. He just had to shake the cobwebs that had been growing in his mind ever since his abduction. Without his medications, he had been fantasizing again about the Plamegate fiasco, Dick Armitage, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Patrick Fitzgerald and all the characters involved. They danced around in his psyche like ghosts and gremlins, scaring him, playing him and driving him to more delusion.

Maybe tomorrow will be different. He may hear other voices, more talk, maybe news, who knows. Tomorrow. It’s always tomorrow, never today, tomorrow, when all he can expect is another day.

Do you think the Awan case is being handled correctly?

[Old Lurker]

Jack, it is a long story but the building was owned by a DC blueblood who was also my boss right out of B School. His guy who ran the subsidiary that owned the building irritated the tenants and my boss got tired of the complaints from his peers at the club, mostly about the guy's personality. So he fired that guy and made me president of the company and gave me instructions to modernize all systems top to bottom but preserve the character and all finishes and avoid ALL complaints. I did that, then I, at his instruction, converted it to the Co-op it is today and I served as first president of the co-op until we were all done. To this day I can recall the floorplan of every apartment and who the tenant was in each, and how I got along with each of them.

You would love some of my stories about how I repaired the extensive gilded plaster ceilings etc but kept it looking "old gold" not crass new stuff, and how I did massive work but had the building looking clean and untouched by 5pm each day. I learned how to air condition an occupied apartment filled with millions (70's prices) in art and an 80 year old grandmother or wife of somebody really important.

Baptism by fire for a young buck I tell you.

As to JOM, I restored each of those gargoyles of the guards holding concrete balls over their heads to protect the ledge dwellers...even all those decades ago. I should have disappeared one of them to my own place then it would be on our Ledge now.

‘Nazis Go Home!’ Police Arrest Dozens as Jeff Sessions Visits Los Angeles

Police arrested 25 demonstrators protesting the Trump administration’s immigration policies ahead of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ scheduled visit to Los Angeles on Tuesday. Tuesday’s protest outside the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles comes hours before Sessions is expected to address the conservative Criminal Justice Legal Foundation’s annual meeting. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), and several other pro-open-border groups, led the protests through the city’s downtown core, before arriving at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.

Montage: Media Turning Trump Voters into Public Enemy No. 1

https://news.grabien.com/story-montage-media-turning-trump-voters-public-enemy-no-1

[Extraneus]

Immigrant rights advocates are demanding a judge order the release of immigrant parents separated from their children at the U.S. border and their reunification.

Attorneys on Monday asked the federal court in Los Angeles that is overseeing a longstanding settlement governing detention conditions for immigrant children to include their parents as plaintiffs.

The complaint filed by pro bono law firm Public Counsel on behalf of three Central American mothers whose children were taken from them by U.S. authorities in May argues that families need to heal from the trauma of forced separation together and outside the confines of detention.

Attorneys allege the mothers are fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in the U.S.

Of course they do.

please lay out for me in detail WHY this has such meaning for you--- that some assume the the worst about Rosita Rosenstein.

Overall Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch have helped advance the conservative cause but when he resorts to exaggeration and hyperbole and ends up misleading fellow conservatives into believing a false narrative then IMO pointing out the flaws of his logic is the right thing to do.

As both Thomas Wictor, JiB and myself pointed out, the DoJ should not release evidence in a criminal probe just to satisfy a Congressional curiosity. Save that evidence for the grand jury and trial.

OH-Gov: Cordray ‘regrets’ comparing Republican officials to Nazi allies after video surfaces

Cordray was speaking to the Allen County Democratic Party Women’s Club, and was criticizing Republicans in Ohio for not standing up to Gov. John Kasich against local government fund cuts in 2011.

“Somebody said to me last month that they’re ‘Vichy Republicans,’ which I didn’t fully understand,” Cordray said of the Republicans. “I guess that’s ‘Vichy France’ during World War II, the ones who went over and collaborated with the Nazis.”

Now that the video came out, he regretted it through a spokesman.

A spokesman for the Cordray campaign said Cordray regrets the situation, but did not issue an apology for the remarks.

“Rich believes Ohioans deserve elected representatives who will stand up for what’s right, even if that means speaking out against people of their own party,” spokesman Mike Gwin told Politics Extra. “He regrets repeating someone else’s inappropriate comparison in making that point.”

...

Jon Husted, running mate to GOP candidate and state Attorney General Mike DeWine, criticized Cordray for not speaking for himself and apologizing.

“@RichCordray you know better than this: Don’t hide behind your spokesperson,” Husted tweeted. “You said it, just apologize.”

“Leave My Husband Alone!” Mitch McConnell’s Wife Screams as Angry Protesters AMBUSH THEIR VEHICLE

Hispanic protesters [all appear to be males] approached the Republicans as they were walking out of a Georgetown event.

The protesters blasted Propublica’s audio of children separated from their families as they accused McConnell of ‘separating the children.’ McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao repeatedly told them to ‘leave her husband alone.’

Protesters continued to scream, “How does he sleep at night?!” as Senator McConnell and his wife got into the vehicle.

Where was security? Why were the protesters allowed to get so close to Senator McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao?

Senator McConnell was struck with Polio when he was 2 years old, leaving him handicapped. This is why he slowly and carefully walked down the steps while holding onto the railing as protesters approached him.
